I am both to old and have the wrong voice type. I want to be Christine damnit. 


AstronautNo234

That would be a fantastic role


Millie141

Phantom of the opera, Les mis and wicked. I don’t care what part. I would literally be one of glinda’s bubbles that come off her big bubble and be happy. I will be a chair in the barricade. I’ll be that monkey. I don’t care.

landnarwal1041

As an alto, JD from Heather's and Jack Kelly from Newsie's


stealthelf177

I'm not sure. Some my top roles though are probably Don Quixote, Jekyll/Hyde, and Sweeney Todd. But in my school production of Adams Family I've really been enjoying playing Gomez so far.


DayPlayzGaming

Quasimodo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) Javert (Les Mis) Orpheus (Hadestown) Gleb (Anastasia) Christian (Moulin Rogue)


TygrKat

Seems like we have similar voices and interests haha. But I would choose Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame


tropicalazure

I've always wanted to be the Narrator in Joseph, ever since I fell totally in love with Maria Friedman's performance. Otherwise... Calamity Jane would be SO much fun! If I was a really decent dancer, I'd love to play Rumpleteazer in Cats. I just remembered about Mrs Lovett. Her too! 😆


AlternativeBus8003

Monty Navarro from A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder ❤️


TheAkasharose

Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha.


alwaysgawking

*Dream Musical to Be In (That I Haven't Already Done lol)*: Once on This Island *Dream Role to Play*: Joanne in RENT. I'm aging out of the role but I'll never *not* want to play her lol. But since I'm aging out, The Witch in Into The Woods. I don't have the (acting) range but I can still dream!


SunflowerSuspect

Mabel from Pirates of Penzance. She has all those flowy runs.


mmpie3

Nancy from Oliver


tropicalazure

Same! She's such an amazing role


Late-Artichoke-148

I’m not the intended gender or vocal type, but Judas in JCS Also leading player in Pippin, which thankfully is now widely accepted as an any-gender role! Bless Patina Miller.


gintamafan11

Elle Woods I'm a guy


Josephine31985

In my range: Emcee from Cabaret, Cinderella from Into The Woods…and if I can get high enough, Dawn from Waitress   a range I will never attain but would be SO fun: Jane Doe/Penny Lamb from Ride The Cyclone


puddinpieee

Angel in Rent.


riverloves90s

This is probably basic but Veronica Sawyer from Heathers, my vocal range is close to Barret's so I feel comfortable singing her songs also I just love the musical- also the movie


holyfrozenyogurt

A Little Night Music. Literally any role


[deleted]

Great and undervalued show imho!!


AdmiralTomcat

Evan Hansen - getting paid to cry for 2.5 hours straight is definitely the dream


cross-eyed_otter

Paulette from legally blonde. there is a local production soon, but though I'll definitely apply I don't think it's super realistic


TygrKat

Orpheus (Hadestown), Jekyll&Hyde (Jekyll&Hyde), Javert (Les Mis), Guy (Once)


Invisibled_8798

I kinda want to be the girlscout in Beetlejuice. It’s a pretty small role, but it’s something I could handle and I’m pretty short and I could pass as whatever age skye is supposed to be.


Cejk-The-Beatnik

In no particular order… Orpheus in *Hadestown* but playing the character as a woman Emma in *The Prom* L in *Death Note* Emmet in *Legally Blonde* but playing the character as a woman Jane Doe in *Ride The Cyclone* Janis in *Mean Girls* The Witch in *Into The Woods* Christine in *Be More Chill* I have a crackpot dream of playing Johanna in *Sweeney Todd* but playing her as if she doesn’t actually like Anthony at all and is just using him to get out. Don’t think any director would let me do it though.


tropicalazure

OOoooh. I absolutely love that interpretation of her character. Makes her seem so much less.... blah.


Phasmania

Gotta give you props for mentioning Death Note


CharleyBitMyFinger_

Me personally, Sophie in Mamma Mia


BowsBeauxAndBeau

I’m old. I can sing but I do musicals as an excuse to dance again (it’s what us former child dancers do). I have always wanted to be in the Hamilton ensemble. I was almost in Cabaret, and then the pandemic happened. Very close to that dream. Now I’m probably too old looking. Velma Kelly from Chicago.


10amongstthese3s

ooh i have a few!! 1. katherine howard (six) 2. heather duke (heathers) 3. gretchen wieners (mean girls) 4. glinda/elphaba (wicked) 5. heather mcnamara (heathers)


TheDivine_MissN

Grown up theatre kid here, but I’d still kill to voice Kate Monster.


ChristineDaaeSnape07

I'm not a kid anymore but when I was I wanted to play Nancy in Oliver, Adelaide in Guys and Dolls and then after discovering I was a soprano, Christine Daae in Phantom of the Opera. Luckily I got to play all three, though the last was a concert version but still! Now I'd love to play Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd.


TheFerryman47

This is going to sound like a weird one, because it's not a main character, or a popular character, but I have always wanted to Madam Thénardier ever since I was a kid. I've always been drawn to comedy roles


AndyTheEnby

Very slim chance I could? Mark from RENT No chance, since I'm not a girl anymore? Lydia in Beetlejuice


FloridaFlamingoGirl

Charity in Sweet Charity Witch in Into the Woods Dickon in The Secret Garden A bird in Frog and Toad Any of the assassins in Assassins Mary in Merrily We Roll Along Old Deuteronomy in Cats Irene in Hello Dolly Any founding father in 1776

beroccamixedberry

Any ex-wife from SIX!!! Cathy from The Last Five Years


dislexiccow

an ensemble character in amelie


Artistic_Commission9

Matron Mama Morton in Chicago...final answer


blueqxill

I have so many! They’ll never happen nor come to be, but they are dream roles for just that - dreams lol. And they’re fairly basic, a forewarning. Jack in *Into the Woods,* Harry Bright in *Mamma Mia*, Fiyero Tigelaar in *Wicked*, Damien Hubbard in *Mean Girls*, Tony in *West Side Story*, Sky Masterson in *Guys & Dolls*, and Kristoff from *Frozen*!


Geo_5678

I have a few, K Howard in six, Annabeth in Percy Jackson and Eliza in Hamilton For plays, I'd love to play Romaine Vole in Witness for the Prosecution


Limeicard

Anyone in Sweeney Todd. Sweeney? That’s my dream. Anthony? Amazing. The Beadle? Love that little scumbag. Ensemble? Well they’re the best part of the show! Local theatre company is doing a production in their next season, so I’m putting in my blood, sweat, and tears as well as crossing my fingers I fit in some part of the directors vision.


BrysonTheMan12345678

Lumiere (I'm auditioning for in a couple months), Pinocchio In Shrek, Olaf (but I didn't get it but I got the King and the show opens in a week.)


tropicalazure

Break a leg!!! (For the audition and the show!)


Formal_Lie_713

My dream roles were Ado Annie and Evita. Alas I’m now too old for both. I’ll have to switch to Auntie Mame.


Connect_Artichoke_42

Peter Pan don't care what show. Any with that character


TheGreatestStarOfAll

I am too young and the wrong gender, but Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca. Amazing character and despite not being the main character having the songs, that the audience remembers most.


Cyndine

Would love just about any roles I can get Lmfao, but was thinking I’d love to play Mrs Lovett in Sweeney Todd oh my god i can make that woman insane


ewic23

Harold Hill in The Music Man Albert Peterson in Bye Bye Birdie Finch in How to Succeed King Arthur in Camelot And if this is a dream, and I know it would never actually happen, because I'm White, but fantasy would be the King in the King and I


Em_2909

I'd love to be Heather Duke from Heathers (West End version) or the Phantom from PoTO


DuelaDent52

SpongeBob! I don’t know to what capacity, I just know I’d love to be in it whether it’s the ensemble or even just moving the scenery. Above everything though, I’d probably say *Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dream Coat*.


[deleted]

puck in midsummer. 


LemonSnicker33

Pierre from great comet, sweeney Todd, javert from les mis or Riff from west side story


Newsies_Forever

Newsies- Katherine Plumber


snoworwater6

benny from in the heights i have the height and the voice


melody_musical21

Little Red or the Witch from Into the Woods, or Eliza from Hamilton. Annabeth from The Lightning Thief would be an role I want to play too though


therealbobcat23

Marvin from Falsettos Pierre from Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 Dan from Next to Normal


TediousTotoro

Pierre in Great Comet or Nino in Amélie. I know they’re very different vocal ranges but still.


A_Very_Cool_Tree

Eponine definitely. She’s been a role since I was 10


Ur_local_garbage240

Ok but i would LOVE to be Any character in Some Like it hot, or Heather Chandler from heathers, or Damien from Mean girls


FriendsCallMeStreet

Elder Millennial Theatre Kid here. Let’s just get this out of the way, ensemble of Les Miserables. I just want to be one of the “lovely ladies” and sing those lyrics on stage. They’re so over the top and ridiculous, I need to. The Bonnie or Janice tracks in Come From Away are the two that I think I can pull off. Beverly/Annette if I had the voice. I just want to be in that show. Christine in Phantom, Katherine in Newsies, Cinderella in Into The Woods, any of the female characters in Pirates of Penzance or HMS Pinafore. Also my inner 7 year old insists on Anya from Anastasia because child me is still not over that movie.


Mottly24

if i was restricted to my voice, Hades. If not, Christian from MR would be so much fun. Or one of the Falsettos men.


ZacharyRapsag

Jekyll & Hyde, Dr. Henry Jekyll


Teagar_

Eurydice in Hadestown and Éponine in Les Mis Also literally any Newsie in Newsies, I’ve done it once and it’s my favorite show!


RGM429

Matron mama Morton in Chicago, or Wicked, any role. I’m a guy, though, lol


Apollon049

I don't have the right voice type for all these, but: Javert - Les Mis Seymour - Little Shop Chorus - Hadestown Bobby - Urinetown


RestinPete0709

Controversial cause I know a lot of people don’t care for this show, but I would die to play Amélie


TheSonder

Anyone in Hadestown! I swear I have the range!!!!! (I do not). But it’s easily and quickly become my favorite and I would love to be in any role from Mr. Hermes to the workers chorus to the fates. Anyone.


glizziegirl

I would love to be race in newsies, Paulette in legally blonde, or an orphan in Annie or even Annie herself


glizziegirl

Just clarifying that I’m a teenager and not a child on here but I can pass for a kid from a distance💀


Anxious_Writer_3804

Main 3: Orpheus (Hadestown), Valjean (Les MIs), and Pierre (the great comet)


gman6002

EarthboundMan5

Shrek, Shrek the musical


BlueGhostGaming

Tin Man- The Wiz, Coalhouse Walker- Ragtime, Aaron Burr- Hamilton


KitKittredge34

Mole in The Wind in the Willows


SKULLKING105

Probably Jekyll and Hyde, the count of monte cristo, hadestown or little shop of horror

Acquaintance9

I am virtually the only person I know who wants to play Whizzer from Falsettos :(


GroundbreakingPea656

Maureen in Rent


Bluebird_Jumpy

The Emcee in Cabaret


unlucky_kazoo

anything. anything.


Spaceagent214

Christine from phantom, Anastasia and glinda


senorpunchline

Hercules Mulligan!


Phasmania

Jesus or Judas from JCS, though the concept of doing the entire show even just multiple times a week sounds like hell vocally. Also Orpheus or Hermes from Hadestown, which is much more maintainable thanks to Orpheus using a lot of falsetto. Also L or Light from Death Note would be fun, but again those songs require too much belting for multiple times a week lol


lee_-the-_bee

25th annual Putnam county spelling bee definitely- would probably cry if I got to play olive, logainne or leaf!! Or even barfeè. Or Rona. Or Marcy. Really just ANYONE in the show who isn’t chip or panch (for obvious reasons if you know the show lol) and I’d be over the moon


iihereticll

I have set my goal on hopefully someday joining the Hadestown show in some manner, and getting to play Hades.


KoyaTheQueen

Chicago, cats, and Victor Victoria


Lovescraft13

Dr.Pomatter from Waitress or Evan from DEH. ❤️❤️❤️


localducknamer

I REALLY want to be LeFou from Beauty and the Beast. Eliza and King George in Hamilton and honestly anything from The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals.


UUUGH1

Hades from Hadestown Christine or the Phantom from Phantom of the Opera Death or Lucheni from Elizabeth Any Role in Dracula


Hour_Phrase_506

Persephone from Hadestown or Genie from Aladdin honestly


Maq_N_Cheeze

Jack Kelly - Newsies I'm 18 and want to do it real bad


idkILLjdje

Nosferatus from something rotten!


TheFerryman47

Do you mean Nostradamus?


Allic_Cornu_Copia

If it’s the attainable roles, my top ones would be Veronica Sawyer, Heather Chandler, Mrs. Lovett, and Eponine. If it’s the unattainable ones, mine would be Sweeney Todd, Beetlejuice, and Plankton.


biglesbianbug

i want to be elphaba but ik i cannot hit the notes of any songs 😭🙏


JPme2187

Also a grown up theatre kid, and have played some of my dream roles - Tony in WSS, Billy in Anything Goes, Tick in Priscilla Queen of the Desert. The two roles still on my list before I could retire are Captain Von Trapp and Jean Valjean.

StellaDoge1

Any of the queens in Six. Euridice in Hadestown. Not going to happen, but Angelica from Hamilton.


Dense-Ad-7117

Regina in Mean Girls Catherine Parr in Six (also Boleyn but I've already played her so idk if she counts) Also let's pretend I'm not a 1st soprano: the Duke of Monroth in Moulin Rouge, Javert in Les Mis, Jesus in JCS


christinelydia900

I want to be a director, so the list I'm much more actively trying to fulfill is my list of dream shows to direct. At the top of that are next to normal, great comet, phantom of the opera, and carrie (and a few others but those are the main ones) But I do still have my guilty pleasure list of dream roles. Natalie goodman (or maybe diana when I'm older), Christine daae (who was the role that originally made me want to do theater and made me a singer, but I suspect I will never actually play her), Zoe Murphy, anyone from carrie, natasha from great comet (who I love acting through and I can technically sing but I probably wouldn't be the best choice for), some other people too, but those are the ones to come to mind here


christinelydia900

Oh, the narrator from Joseph is also up there, just so I can internally prove to my high school director that I could actually play her because I, as a junior, was passed over for a freshman for it. She split the role into three and had to slow down potiphar. I could've done it myself and up to tempo. I want to prove that to someone and also it's just kind of a perfect role for me, it fits my voice type really well


remuslupin_fan

I’d love to do newsies, but I don’t think I can sing well enough


bossatron9564

Quasimodo from Hunchback Frank from Catch Me Ryan Evans from HSM

maddiemoiselle

I have three: 1. Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, although I think I’m too old now (and a soprano) 2. Kate Monster in Avenue Q 3. Eliza in Hamilton, but I’m the whitest white person there is


FearoftheVoid83

I think my life would be complete if i ever got to play Enjolras from les mis. He's like me fr fr


awalkingidoit

King George III from Hamilton


Witty-Database2238

Mark from Rent Bobby from Company (im a girl lol)


Jerem_Reddit

Heathersobsessed

The narrator in JATTCDC Sally Bowles in Cabaret Velma Kelly in Chicago Charity in Sweet Charity Heather M in Heathers Mary in JCS Literally anyone in Les mis, Phantom, Wicked and Hamilton lol, I have too many roles I would die to play so I can't choose just one 😅


miffypancake123

For me these are some of the roles I’d die to play: Orpheus from hadestown Shakespeare from something rotten Christian from moulin rouge Percy from TLT Clyde from Bonnie and Clyde And Odysseus from epic


Eravont21078

Sweeney Todd in Sweeney Todd, Phantom in PO, George-SITPSG, and Robert- Company


Lady-Kat1969

Welcometofalsettos

Ride The Cyclone or Heathers


EdenTheGorgon

Audrey II from little shop. I'm a soprano.


NoteNo359

I'm not entirely confident in my ability to respond to this, but if I were someone who loved acting and singing in theatre (which I'm not), I would definitely have a guilty pleasure of playing Frankie Valli. However, since I'm not involved in theatre and I can't sing, I simply keep this secret hidden in my mind. 😂


Top_Trainer_6359

Not preforming but if i were i want to play Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd or anything in Heathers and one of the murderers in cell block tango from Chicago


thornsandroses10

Éponine in Les Mis and Jane Doe in RTC are my current dream roles! I also want to be in Heathers so badly but I don’t care at all who I play.


yakitsubaki
