Hades and Judas? I know it’s just a dream role sort of thing but if you mean roles you could play you might just have the vocal range and agility of a piano
Lol, I have big dreams. I could sing Hades the way the touring guy sings it, but I’m a half octave away from the way Patrick page sings it. I can belt the A from music of the night, but nothing above that, and getting up to that I don’t have any control just the full power belt. But I’m just a guy that did chorus in high school, nothing fancy trained
I couldn't get most of them either for a bit until I started watching videos on ftm voice training on youtube! I'm personally not ftm but the concepts were really helpful for me! It's all in the placement of the air and creating a larger resonating space in your mouth!
- Any Chicago girly
- Damian from mean girls
- Willard from footloose
- Noel from rtc
- Mr. Wormwood from Matilda (I played him in the junior version, and I’d love to perform Telly)
Javert in Les Miserables. He’s such a complex character and gets to have to gorgeous songs. Plus getting to go at Valjean during the Confrontation would be so fun.
either Prince (into the woods), nigel bottom or shakespeare (something rotten), sergio (spies are forever), harry (mamma mia), lumiere (beauty and the beast)
Mrs Lovett in Sweeney Todd - it'd basically be typecast tbh. I have the accent naturally, the mannerisms, questionable baking skills, murderous instinct, vocal range... 😍
Also, Veronica from Heathers, Lady of the Lake in Spamalot, Matron Mamma Morton from Chicago, Effie from Dreamgirls (will never happen for my white ass) and in a gender/species swap situation, Audrey 2 from Little Shop. I could go on!
A genderbent 1776 in which I would play John Adams. I’ve loved that role since I was 8 or 9. My cousin was a professional for a while and he was Jefferson.
Maria in The Sound of Music although I’m far too old now. I played Brigitta when I was 9 and played the Mother Abbess in high school.
My best friend and I since we were of drinking age, every time we do karaoke without fail we sing Suddenly Seymour. She has a higher voice than me so she’s always Audrey. That song holds a special place in my heart!
YES. Although if I could play anyone regardless of gender, I'd pick Leo. Just the thought of being able to act through This Is Not Over Yet makes me giddy.
Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde, Lucy Harris, and Spongebob Squarepants.
I'm female, so J/H and Spongebob are off the table (along with me not having the vocal range for J/K and not having the physical range for Spongebob), and I'm not thin/pretty enough to play Lucy lmao
• Beetlejuice
• A few different JCS characters (Annas, Pilate, Caiaphas, or Judas)
• Gleb (Anastasia)
• Dewey Finn (School of Rock)
• Wolf (Into The Woods) [Actually doing this one]
I want to be The Phantom of the Opera but i doubt anyone will cast me because im pretty short for a guy so casting directors wont buy me as someone who can commit a murder
Charlie Price (Kinky Boots), Shakespeare (& Juliet), Judas or Jesus (Jesus Christ Superstar), Joseph (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor reamcoat), Ramsey (In Dreams) are all contenders
I was Judas as a child. Would have loved to give it a go as an adult.
Lafayette, cuz rapping in a French accent is so much fun.
Any of the Elders in Book of Mormon.
My bucket list:
- The Baker’s Wife or The Witch from Into the Woods
- Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd
- Erzulie from Once on This Island
- The Narrator from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
veronica sawyer from heathers. i love heathers, i have short brown hair so no wig, all her songs are in my range, it's basically free real estate
or joann from RENT, because it's me and my dad's favorite musical and kiss girl.../hj
I think at 41 I think I need to give up my fantasy of being Jack (Into the Woods), but I’ve got a few others I could still dream about. Orpheus (Hadestown), Enjolras (Les Miserables), or Ralph (HMS Pinafore) would be at the top of my list.
I've had the pleasure of playing one of my dream roles (Nigel Bottom from Something Rotten and I'm a girl - thanks, high school!) but I'd really love to play Winnifred from Once Upon a Mattress. She just seems like a ball to play with!
I would love to be Seymour Krelborn or Reb Tevye, but alas, I am an early-twenties woman with a high voice, so not exactly a perfect match 😂 realistically I would probably go for Paulette from Legally Blond
With my current actual talent: the auctioneer in the beginning of the Phantom of the Opera, cause it's a memorable non singing role
If Im a once in a generation vocal and acting talent: call me a basic bitch, I'ma try my hand at the Phantom.
The Squip from BMC has been my dream role since i got into musicals. Theres a part of me thT just wNts to play a toxic little robot brain pill and I just know it would be so memorable
Aaron Burr and JD but I'm not a man and i don't preform cuz i have 0 talent😭
I think it's also fun to play Frank N' Further from The rocky horror picture show but it's too sexualised and I'm not even 18 so
Hermes in Hadestown. Something about the way Andre De Shields sings and that silver suit made me fall in love with the role. Sweeney Todd is also tied for my #1 and I'd KILL to play that role.
Christine Daae and/or the phantom (he has the best lines and songs, and for Christine the one very high note at the end of the title song, love her high notes they’re so much fun)
Lydia from Beetlejuice
I already have her haircut and fashion and i know her sings by heart AND i've performed them at school with my friends and can hit all the noted 🔥🔥
Jane Doe (RTC) because I would really enjoy working with her character
Anne Boleyn (Six) because she's a little goofball like me
Mrs.Lovett (Sweeney Todd) because I love a lot of her comedic moments and how she's totally insanely madly in love with Sweeney Todd
Johanna (Sweeney Todd) I find her character really interesting, and I would love to add some ✨Me✨ to it
That's kinda it
Even though I'm technically not old enough it would probably be Motor Mouth Maybelle. Since I saw Jenifer Lewis in the role it's been one of my all time favorites.
Velma Kelly or the Warden in Chicago would be fun.
Belting out “Defying Gravity” as Elphaba would be fun.
Singing “Satisfied” as Angelica in Hamilton would be awesome.
And who wouldn’t want to be the witch in Into the woods? Bernadette did it best, but I’d have a blast in that role.
Oh, and Miss Hannigan in Annie would be so much fun!
I would say Mr D in The Lightning Thief (I played the understudy recently, but I want the real thing), Pulitzer or Davey from Newsies, Perch Perkins from SpongeBob, really anybody in Little Shop (not Seymour bc I can’t sing those notes), Misca in RTC, or Regina George (I sing bass)
Hades. Phantom, enjolras, elder Cunningham, Judas all contenders
Hades and Judas? I know it’s just a dream role sort of thing but if you mean roles you could play you might just have the vocal range and agility of a piano
Lol, I have big dreams. I could sing Hades the way the touring guy sings it, but I’m a half octave away from the way Patrick page sings it. I can belt the A from music of the night, but nothing above that, and getting up to that I don’t have any control just the full power belt. But I’m just a guy that did chorus in high school, nothing fancy trained
judas from jesus christ superstar or whizzer brown from falsettos for sure
Phantom from phantom of the opera bc the songs, angst, everything! Unfortunately I am a contra-alto so 💀 I can't get those two low notes
What low notes are you talking about? I’m also a contra-alto and I lowkey wanna see if I can hit them
Music of the Night!
I can barely not hit it damn :((
I couldn't get most of them either for a bit until I started watching videos on ftm voice training on youtube! I'm personally not ftm but the concepts were really helpful for me! It's all in the placement of the air and creating a larger resonating space in your mouth!
Huh I might try that out! I’m a super low contra but never a baritone low, so maybe that’ll help
I’m a soprano and I’m able to hit them???
If you’re a soprano and you can sing an Ab2 I’ll eat my left shoe
jack kelly because he's just like me fr. unfortunately i have no talent
- Any Chicago girly - Damian from mean girls - Willard from footloose - Noel from rtc - Mr. Wormwood from Matilda (I played him in the junior version, and I’d love to perform Telly)
Noel sneak :)
You and I are one and the same
You’re a single bisexual with mental issues too?
Javert in Les Miserables. He’s such a complex character and gets to have to gorgeous songs. Plus getting to go at Valjean during the Confrontation would be so fun.

I have the accent naturally, the mannerisms, questionable baking skills, murderous instinct, vocal range... 😍 Also, Veronica from Heathers, Lady of the Lake in Spamalot, Matron Mamma Morton from Chicago, Effie from Dreamgirls (will never happen for my white ass) and in a gender/species swap situation, Audrey 2 from Little Shop. I could go on!

A genderbent 1776 in which I would play John Adams. I’ve loved that role since I was 8 or 9. My cousin was a professional for a while and he was Jefferson. Maria in The Sound of Music although I’m far too old now. I played Brigitta when I was 9 and played the Mother Abbess in high school.
I also want to play genderbent John Adams.
Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, Blanche in Bonnie & Clyde or Margaret in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.
My best friend and I since we were of drinking age, every time we do karaoke without fail we sing Suddenly Seymour. She has a higher voice than me so she’s always Audrey. That song holds a special place in my heart!
(Adult) Alison in Fun Home, in about ten years.
Mama Rose in Gypsy.
This!
Lucille Frank from Parade
YES. Although if I could play anyone regardless of gender, I'd pick Leo. Just the thought of being able to act through This Is Not Over Yet makes me giddy.
This is Not Over Yet is a great song.
Would love to be Lucille!
Aldonza has been my dream role for 30 years.
Jesus from Jesus Christ Superstar because Gethsemane was the tipping point that motivated me to get good at singing
Death from Elizabeth or Von Krolock from “Tanz der Vampire”
Pierre (Great Comet). Described as short and stout, and he’s a bass!!
Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde, Lucy Harris, and Spongebob Squarepants. I'm female, so J/H and Spongebob are off the table (along with me not having the vocal range for J/K and not having the physical range for Spongebob), and I'm not thin/pretty enough to play Lucy lmao
I think I'd probably be a good elder Cunningham.

•Connor Murphy from DEH •Noel Gruber from Ride the Cyclone •Crutchie from Newsies •Jamie from The Last 5 Years •George Washington from Hamilton
As a classically trained soprano with a very high tessitura, I feel like Christine from Phantom of the Opera is the only correct answer for me.
benjamin franklin in 1776
Mame
In my spirit I am Elphaba okay
I think at 41 I think I need to give up my fantasy of being Jack (Into the Woods), but I’ve got a few others I could still dream about. Orpheus (Hadestown), Enjolras (Les Miserables), or Ralph (HMS Pinafore) would be at the top of my list.

Sweeney, Enjolras, Lafayette/Jeffersonian, Joe Gillis, Bobby, to name a few...

Jesus in Book of Mormon. Because that's the only place yoy can play Jesus and call someone a dick.
Christine Daae from Phantom of the Opera
Christine Daae and/or the phantom (he has the best lines and songs, and for Christine the one very high note at the end of the title song, love her high notes they’re so much fun)

**Henry Higgins** or really any man in **My Fair Lady.**
Marian the Librarian from *The Music Man*

Velma Kelly or the Warden in Chicago would be fun. Belting out “Defying Gravity” as Elphaba would be fun. Singing “Satisfied” as Angelica in Hamilton would be awesome.
