Just for fun :) If you could choose to be in (or star in) ANY currently running Broadway show, which would it be? Which part?
Perhaps it's just because the movie came out, but I'm in a Hairspray mood lately - I'd love a stab at Penny! Also, annyy of the three ladies in Jersey Boys.
"Now she wants to know WHY, if I'm so fabulous, I would WANT to take care of her child.....I answer with as much filigree and insouciance as I can muster, trying to slightly cock my head like Snow White listening to the animals. She, in turn, is aiming for more of a Diane-Sawyer-pose, looking for answers which will confirm that I am not there to steal her husband, jewelry, friends, or child. In that order."

Well, I'm only going to say two leads that I may actually have a chance of playing at some point in the future (aka when I'm older and hopefully taller, and I have a few extra notes on top)...
I know jordangirl, Gypsy was my favorite for (what) three weeks? So I'm on the lookout too.
bwaylvsong, I forgot Drowsy! Janet, totally Janet.

Well, if we can say shows that recently closed, I would say File, Herbie, The Beast (or really any other male role in BatB), and (if I grew a foot lol) Kennedy/Jerry.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
(fairly) recently closed: Amy in Company current: Maggie in A Chorus Line or Meg Giry in Phantom

I chose, and my world was shaken- So what? The choice may have been mistaken,
The choosing was not...

Well, my dream role is Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd, but that's closed so I guess Carlotta in Phantom, Paulette in Legally Blonde, or Glinda or Elphie in Wicked. But those are all parts for someone way older than me so for my age maybe Thea in Spring Awakening? Just because I would love to say the line about the radical.
I'm totally going to get mocked, but 'Mary Poppins'. I just don't feel inspired to want to be in most of the current Broadway shows at present. If it were any Broadway show ever, or even if you'd asked a few weeks ago, my answer would've been totally different. But you didn't, so 'Mary Poppins' it is. ^_^
