My Dream Roles in Musicals

Hi Everyone! How are you doing, I hope your doing very very well. I am very excited today. Because today is going to hopefully be a very fun blog to write but also to read. I was pondering on whether or not I should write this blog or not and i suddenly realized that because I’m sick of COVID 19 and want to go see theatre it would be a nice pick me up. Today I am going to be counting down and explaining my dream roles in some of my favourite musicals. Now obviously I have hundreds of roles I would want to play, (probably too many to count) so today I’ll just be listing my top 20. Let’s jump into it.

20: Coming up at number 20 is a character from one of my favourite musicals of all time and that is….. Chicago! I would love to play Roxie Hart. Roxie is such a feisty, powerful character and I love all of the different women who have played her in the past. Now you might be thinking, “that’s a little weird. Why does she want to play a murderer?” Well I’ll tell you why. There’s something enticing about Roxie that I’m in love with. She has a sort of halo of character around her which I love. I think she would be really fun to play. Plus I could get to dress up as a puppet in They Both Reached For The Gun which would be awesome.

19: Number 19 is one that I would not fit the part for at all but I think would be really fun to play and that is… a gender bend role in Be More Chill as Michael Mell! Michael is such a sweet humorous character. I think he’s the best character in the show. I would love it if there was an opposites attract relationship between Jeremy who I think should still be played by a male, so that there would obviously be that sweet innocence of Jeremys love for Christine in the show still. Although I don’t like the character of Jeremy his relationship with Christine is very cute. I would love to play Michael just because I would be able to sit in a bathtub and sing my heart out to Michael In The Bathroom every night. A side note, I would like to be addressed as Michele so they could change the song to Michele In The Bathroom.

18: Coming up in 18th place is…. Alyssa Greene from The Prom. I’ve talked about The Prom before on my blog, where I did a reaction to The Prom movie with Ariana Debose as Alyssa and if you have read the blog post you can obviously tell that I loved the movie. I was into The Prom before the movie came out but I enjoyed the movie so much that it made me love the show more. Ever since the start of listening to it I have always loved Alyssa. She may not be my favourite character (Spoiler: Angie rights!!) but I still love her character to bits. Alyssa would be such a wonderful character to play, so.. Broadway in ten years or so if you want an Alyssa call me.

17: Number 17 is something I’m quite acquainted with. I would love to play Miss Hannigan in Annie. I have already been in Annie and I played Annie, but I have always wanted to play Miss Hannigan. She’s such a comedic role, I have so much love for her. Her one liners are completely iconic and she has one of the best songs in the show. Little Girls. In the 1982 version when she’s singing and the girls turn into arm chairs and she sits on them. Beautiful! Not for the girls but for the comedic timing. Also she’s a villain and I love villains. The reason why you’ll see so many is because I’m more of the best friend side kick character so villains really appeal to me.

16: two words Ado Annie! God isn’t she just the best! Such a wonderful character. Oklahoma was one of the first musicals that I listened to when I was little. And I always loved Ado Annie. I Caint Say No! Is just a wonderful tune. We love a flirty queen. A while ago maybe two years, i went to New York with my grandmother and we went to see Oklahoma off of Broadway. And do you know who played Ado Annie! Ali Stroker! Not the first disabled women to win a tony!! She was incredible and I was blown away by her performance. If you want to see talent go check her out! So yeah Ado Annie would be amazing to play.

15: warning: Sondheim alert! Cinderella from Into The Woods. I mean come on, she’s funny, she’s sweet and she’s completely oblivious to everyone’s else’s problems. That’s what I call a good character. On The Steps Of The Palace has to be one of my favourite songs from that show. I love Into The Woods it may be my favourite Sondheim show. I’m sorry if that personally offends anyone and please tell me what you think is the best Sondheim musical but that’s just my opinion. I love the character of Cinderella and I think she’d be really fun to play.

14: My 14th dream role is Winnie Foster from Tuck Everlasting. Tuck Everlasting may be the most underrated musical of all time. The story is brilliant the composition and the lyrics are gorgeous and Winnie is my age. 11! Good Girl Winnie Foster! Ugh! Gorgeous gorgeous song! I’m in love with this show, and not only that but it has Andrew Keenan Bolger! Who was in Newsies! Who doesn’t love Newsies! It’s a bunch of boys singing and dancing! Who doesn’t love that! Anyways I think it would be really cool to play Winnie from Tuck because she’s such a cool character and i think I’d quite good. Not to toot my own horn but I think I’d be wonderful.

13: Okay, so I know that this is a really basic character but I would love to play Cady from Mean Girls! I think that the writers didn’t make her as good of a character as she should have been. If they had written her better she would have been such a more likeable character instead of this predictable vanilla character. I think that Stupid With Love is a gorgeous song and deserves more recognition. Take the spotlight off of Someone Gets Hurt for a moment and let it put onto Stupid With Love please! I would love to play Cady and I think that she’d be very fun to play.

12: number 12 is Barbara from Beetlejuice! She is an icon, she is a legend and she is the moment. I am obsessed with her. Her character is so kooky and sweet and she’s so innocent. She’s the good kind of vanilla. Plus she’s played by Kerry Butler! Oh lord of mercy I could talk about Kerry Butler for days, but I won’t. I love Kerry Butler so so so much! And she was the perfect actress for Barbara! anyways Barbara is one of my dream roles for sure.

11: Wendla from Spring Awakening! Oh, Spring Awakening is perfection in my personal opinion. I mean come on we have our Broadway dream team. Johnathan Groff who if was straight I would ask to marry which is completely illegal but it’s fine and Lea Michele. Listen I know she’s done terrible things but you can’t deny the girls got a voice. Wendla is just so perfect and I love and I think I’d be great as her.

10: Okay guys, here it is. We’ve reached the top ten. Number ten is Zoe Murphy from Dear Evan Hansen. Zoe deserved better!!! Guys she deserved better. She was the best character in the show hands down. Reqieum. Ugh! It makes me cry every time I hear it. What I like about Zoe is that she’s a very normal character. I know no one is normal but she isn’t crazy. She’s a very down to earth person trying to deal with the ups and downs of life. I would love to play her.

9: Chris from Carrie. Carrie another underrated musical. Chris was the best character. She carried that show. The World According To Chris is such a bop. And like I said, I love villains. She’d be such a fun exciting character to play.

8: Fanny Brice from Funny Girl. Oh god! I love this show. It’s the best. Barbara Streisand is the goddess of musical theatre! And I think Fanny would just be the funnest role to play. Obviously it’ll never happen because their never putting on Funny Girl again. 😢

7: Veronica Sawyer from Heathers!! There’s nothing to say about that one. She’d be so fun to play.

6: Satine from Moulin Rouge. I love a good dramatic death. Satine is such a beautiful character and I would die to play her. Not literally.

5: KATHERINE HOWARD FROM SIX!!!! Oh my god! Can we just admit that Howard carried the show! Best character! I would love to play her. She’s so feisty, so dramatic and so heartbreakingly misunderstood. All You Wanna Do is a bop. Period.

And now: the moment you’ve all been waiting for: my four Broadway dream roles are: Adelaide from Guys and Dolls, Matilda from Matilda, Elphaba from Wicked and number one……. Dawn from Waitress!
