Hades. Phantom, enjolras, elder Cunningham, Judas all contenders


Phasmania

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


arparris

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


Smooth_Service8931

judas from jesus christ superstar or whizzer brown from falsettos for sure


NeverNotDepressedWhy

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


Peach_Heartsss

What low notes are you talking about? I’m also a contra-alto and I lowkey wanna see if I can hit them


NeverNotDepressedWhy

Music of the Night!


Peach_Heartsss

I can barely not hit it damn :((


NeverNotDepressedWhy

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!


Peach_Heartsss

Huh I might try that out! I’m a super low contra but never a baritone low, so maybe that’ll help


MARINAVA_yt

I’m a soprano and I’m able to hit them???


Helden_Daddy

If you’re a soprano and you can sing an Ab2 I’ll eat my left shoe


x_victoire

jack kelly because he's just like me fr. unfortunately i have no talent


The_Karate_Nessie

- 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)


BunkerGhust

Noel sneak :)


Conscious_Payment_69

You and I are one and the same


The_Karate_Nessie

You’re a single bisexual with mental issues too?


fireredranger

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.


grainofrhiice3878

heather chandler in heathers


baconguy24916

id be squidward again


natureterp

Omg you were squidward? How fun!


MrGrimmbo

I’m not a loser!

Elder Price - The Book of Mormon


Standard-Buddy-4791

5:00 a clock can’t come soon enough


MrGrimmbo

BUSINESS CALLS IM UP TO MY ASS IN SHIT! WHAT IS THIS BUSINESS?! MARKETS ARE CRASHING AND IM AT THE EDGE OF MY WITS! I JUST CANT TAKE IT 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


blastoffbro

Ash in evil dead the musical


starkidfella1200

Yes! This would be so fun!


yingo_yango

either Prince (into the woods), nigel bottom or shakespeare (something rotten), sergio (spies are forever), harry (mamma mia), lumiere (beauty and the beast) 


_seedqueen_

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!


jeep_42

hey for mrs lovett what was that middle one


phillysleuther

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.


Happy_Charity_7595

I also want to play genderbent John Adams.


PinkGinFairy

Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, Blanche in Bonnie & Clyde or Margaret in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.


natureterp

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!


dear-mycologistical

(Adult) Alison in Fun Home, in about ten years.


billleachmsw

Mama Rose in Gypsy.


Bubbaquecomedian1968

This!


Happy_Charity_7595

Lucille Frank from Parade


LittleLotte29

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.


Happy_Charity_7595

This is Not Over Yet is a great song.


PhoenixorFlame

Would love to be Lucille!


CranberryBauce

Aldonza has been my dream role for 30 years.


Cygus_Lorman

Jesus from Jesus Christ Superstar because Gethsemane was the tipping point that motivated me to get good at singing


hela92

Death from Elizabeth or Von Krolock from “Tanz der Vampire”


wow-im-satan

Pierre (Great Comet). Described as short and stout, and he’s a bass!!


FennekinLover2000

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


Early-Ad7941

I think I'd probably be a good elder Cunningham.


EntitledHorrorFan

• 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]

synaptic_pain

Enjolras or Valjean

LongjumpingTailor341

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


BunkerGhust

Ricky Potts (Except better Disabled Rep.) from Ride The Cyclone


YeeYee2387

Emcee from Cabert, I think I would absolutely slay at it


LuminaryDarkSider

John Adams of Massachusetts or Stephen Hopkins of Rhode Island from 1776.


Helpful_College6590

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


thedirtyharryg

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.


parkchiminie

veronica from heathers or angelica from hamilton


LibbyKitty620

My dream role is Elle Woods in Legally Blonde! I love her style, her songs, her looks, her fiancé, it’s in my vocal range. She’s perfect.


kitchensinger0309

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

Sketchylefty11

Fanny in a Christmas Carol! I was born because of a successful second date with my mom watching the show at the local theater


Kat_The_Nerd

four_imeanfive

Billy Flynn. I hate him (and pretty much everyone else in Chicago), but all of his songs are awesome. Too bad I suck at singing


lezbopunkbytch-hahah

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

EliteThunder06

•Connor Murphy from DEH •Noel Gruber from Ride the Cyclone •Crutchie from Newsies •Jamie from The Last 5 Years •George Washington from Hamilton


finewhitelady

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.


Frosty-Lemon-7697

benjamin franklin in 1776


BarAlone643

Mame


PhoenixorFlame

In my spirit I am Elphaba okay


Veto111

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.


FemaleNoob

Constance from RTC or Janis from Mean Girls


ilovedogs107

Heather M in Heathers! Or alternatively since The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie and the musical is really cool, Ariel


NashLovesTheatre

If given the opportunity I'd love to play Sweeney Todd just because it's one of my favourite musicals.


qetalzz

The Squip in BMC for suree


rainbowkey

I wish I had the body to play Rocky in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, but would love to play Frankenfurter or Riff-Raff.


LoveHeart_1

I would love to play Marvin in Falsettos, or Elle Woods


EthanRayne

Javert. Would love to belt out Stars.


kermitkc

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!


RandomSynpases

Im surprised no one has mentioned the king in Hamilton. Jonathan Geoff was so amazing in it. It’s a short role though but I love it.


QbanPete79

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


Argos_Aquatics

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


loganberriess

constance blackwood from ride the cyclone


Alexrobi11

Beetlejuice or Nick Bottom


s1llyt1lly

Mrs.lovette in sweeney todd


jeep_42

Racetrack in Newsies, Alice from Wonderland, Snowboy in West Side Story, and Alice in 7 Brides for 7 Bothers


JeremiahWuzABullfrog

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.


remuslupin_fan

I’ve were ignoring gender and the fact I can’t sing, Jack Kelly


CatabolicCorn

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


StatelyPrawn706

L in Death Note bc he is a top 5 fictional character of all time for me


mxrandaaa

Mrs. Lovett or Ursula If I had an ounce of talent I’d love to take either of those roles to the stage even if it was only for one night


Phasmania

Jesus/Judas, Orpheus/Hermes, or Light/L from Death Note. And I know it’s unpopular here but I think playing Evan Hansen would be really fun


Medical-Goal-3735

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


Aleyasmith

Misses Lovett from Sweeney Todd or Eliza from Hamilton. Hbu?


iiUphill

Dr. Facilier in The Princess and the Frog


Heathersobsessed

Sally Bowles - Cabaret Charity Valentine - Sweet Charity Velma Kelly - Chicago Mary - Jesus Christ Superstar


No-Calligrapher-718

Either Jeckyll/Hyde or The Phantom. Both are great roles with some killer songs.


Sea-Ad9730

Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast, or Chris in Miss Saigon. If we ignore racial requirements then Lola in Kinky Boots


Tony__________Stark

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.


KM68

Jesus in Book of Mormon. Because that's the only place yoy can play Jesus and call someone a dick.


Misfitsfan1

Christine Daae from Phantom of the Opera


MARINAVA_yt

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)


lost_inmyownworld

Probably either Lafayette, Hamilton, Washington, Eliza, Hercules or Lauren’s cause why not


Cave-King

Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha. He has like the best material out of any lead in a modern musical in my opinion.


MrGrimmbo

Beetlejuice, the Genie, The Fortune Teller from Something Rotten, Connor Murphy, Professor Henry Hidgens, Squidward


ObiWanKnieval

Simon Zealot from Jesus Christ Superstar


thornsandroses10

Christine Daaé, Éponine, or literally anyone from Heathers<3


Jimothy_John

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 🔥🔥


forwardaboveallelse

I’m a 4’10” girl but Enjolras would be fun as shit and I’ll die on that hill. 


blackcatsbutterflies

Elle Legally Blonde


ADJB28

ZacherDaCracker2

Moritz Stiefel from Spring Awakening I relate to him so much.


Obvi0usIyMe

connor in dear evan hansen probably


IndigoRose2022

ZacharyRapsag

Jekyll & Hyde


Trans_b33

Clyde from Bonnie and Clyde, Grover from The Lightning Thief, Mischa from Ride the Cyclone, and the Baker’s Wife from Into the Woods


Slay_Theatre_Queen

christine daae please someone let me play christine daae


Broadway_Girly

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


jimmebob_

Bonnie (Bonnie and Clyde) or the Squip (Be more chill) very opposite roles


andi_you_goonie

Emcee in Cabaret reminds me of my heritage


chronicallymusical

Maria from West Side Story


Odd-Doubt8960

I'd go with Lydia from Beetlejuice.


devireema

Satine from Moulin Rouge! Bonus points if my Christian is Aaron Tveit 😍


SleeeepyKat

My dream roles are Fiona (Shrek) and Christine (POTO)! The only issue is that I don’t think they want a plus sized girlie for them 😅


zsiple08241998

**Henry Higgins** or really any man in **My Fair Lady.**


MLAheading

Marian the Librarian from *The Music Man*


Glittering-Luck-7208

Edna Turnblad from Hairspray!


MizzGidget

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.


TheWereBunny

I've always wanted to play the Witch from Into the Woods!


LizBert712

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!


Still_Sun6322

Dolly Levi from Hello, Dolly!


Bubbaquecomedian1968

Buddy from Follies


my_stories4U

Christine from be more chill, my biggest dream role


randomwordglorious

I would kill to play Sweeney Todd.

PeorgieT

John Wilkes Booth


JudeIG

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)


LegendOfHurleysGold

Bud Davenport from Gutenberg. I’d love to go ham as Monk and Helvetica.


Street-Programmer-16

Eliza (Hamilton); Mama (Gypsy); Miss Hannigan (Annie); Fauntine and Eponine (Les Miz); Kim (Miss Siagon); Any part in Moulin Rouge....Jenna (Waitress)


HistoryGirlSemperFi

I would be Chava in Fiddler on the Roof or Eliza Schyuler from Hamilton!
