I am just wondering if you have a favorite role that you haven’t had an opportunity to play yet. I have been lucky enough to have played characters that became ‘dream roles’ after I started rehearsing for the production and I’ve had a few roles that I was dying to do luckily earned the opportunity to perform BUT there’s still a handful of roles I’m dying to do!

Kate in ‘Kiss Me Kate’, Kiss Me Kate

Corrine or Hesione in ‘Triumph of Love’ Triumph of Love

Margaret Johnson in ‘ The Light in the Piazza’, Light in the Piazza

Miss Peretti in ‘25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee’ Spelling Bee

Mrs. Lovett in ‘Sweeney Todd.’ Sweeney Todd

How about you??? What’s on your short list?
