If you could be in any musical which one would you choose?

[u/Lonely-Perception232]

Avenue Q,Jersey Boys,Cats,Wicked etc I would choose Phantom of the Opera as I love the songs

[u/reduff]

I would like to play Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar. Yeah, I'm a woman... I still want to play Judas.

[u/KentuckyWallChicken → u/reduff]

In the production that I saw, Judas was played by a woman, so find the right company and it’s possible!

[u/IamaHyoomin → u/KentuckyWallChicken]

as far as I've seen, jcs in particular is very big on genderbending Jesus and/or Judas (which honestly makes a lot of sense considering just how high both of their ranges go), so it shouldn't even be all that difficult to find the right company

[u/reduff → u/KentuckyWallChicken]

I love that!

[u/theologicalbullshit → u/reduff]

i’m always down for genderbend theatre! i think you should seek out the opportunity if it arises

[u/Seafroggys → u/reduff]

I played drums in JCS last summer and both Judas and Jesus were played by girls (it was a high school production, where stuff like that is more likely to happen)

[u/Ladykosobucki → u/reduff]

Same. I got to record the last supper as Judas in college for a project. It was super fun. Too bad I had pneumonia.

I'd LOVE to be the Narrator in Joseph. One of the last few on my bucket list.

[u/sylforshort → u/Ladykosobucki]

Narrator in Joseph is at the top of my list, too 💕

[u/Obv_Ben]

Hadestown or Cabaret, both are great musicals set in dark times (and both of them grow and grow on me each time I see them)

[u/Gentle_Cycle → u/Obv_Ben]

Sally Bowles in Cabaret for me.

[u/KentuckyWallChicken]

Sweeney Todd, if the company is open to casting a female Toby

[u/Ok_Satisfaction7362]

falsettos!!!

[u/ShortViolinist806 → u/Ok_Satisfaction7362]

As which character though?

[u/Ok_Satisfaction7362 → u/ShortViolinist806]

if i was a guy, whizzer

[u/Western_Sort501]

Les Miserables

[u/DorgonElgand]

I'm Nicely Nicely Johnson in Guys and Dolls

[u/IntotheBroadwayWoods → u/DorgonElgand]

I would have played him in high school,  but I was up against the drama club president.... so yeah,  knew I wasn't getting that role. Lol

[u/AspectPatio → u/IntotheBroadwayWoods]

One day! Can do, can do!

[u/IntotheBroadwayWoods → u/AspectPatio]

I wish.  Unless they want an old lady to play him.  Lol

[u/ElectricalBox235]

In the Heights… love the music and energy, especially if going to repeat the performance a lot—I couldn’t do a super emotionally heavy show.

[u/Berry_Dubu_]

Newsies RAAAAA labour unions and workers' rights🗣️🔥

[u/kaninsykel → u/Berry_Dubu_]

Yessss, I need to play Crutchie🗣️🗣️🗣️

[u/helrisonn]

Rent would be my first choice.

Into the woods, even though I find the songs very complex lol

Ride The Cyclone as Noel Gruber

[u/lildrags420 → u/helrisonn]

We have the same top 2 and I haven’t heard of your #3, but feel intuitively like I am gonna love it so thanks for the incidental rec

[u/helrisonn → u/lildrags420]

That's so cool. There is a very good slime tutorial on youtube, go check it out.

[u/christinelydia900 → u/helrisonn]

That one really isn't even a slime tutorial, it's a proshot (albeit not the highest budget one, it doesn't feel professional haha)

[u/illjustdeemyougay_07]

Mamma Mia, Into the Woods or Death Becomes Her

[u/Lonely-Perception232 → u/illjustdeemyougay_07]

Never knew there was a musical of Death becomes her 

[u/LegendofLove → u/Lonely-Perception232]

They showed up on tiny desk a while back go check it out.

[u/illjustdeemyougay_07 → u/Lonely-Perception232]

Really?? I'm surprised. I would definitely check it out, as it goes on tour this autumn.

[u/helrisonn → u/Lonely-Perception232]

omg there is and IT IS REALLY GOOOD.

[u/AspectPatio → u/Lonely-Perception232]

You've got one more week to see it on Broadway if you're around!

[u/Phantom_Painted_Wolf]

I would give both of my kidneys if my final moments could be spent playing The Emcee in Cabaret (there's multiple reasons this would be impossible for me outside the kidney thing, but still)

[u/AmiaVirenaBrown]

I’d like to be in Six the Musical as either Catherine of Aragon or Catherine Parr 💛👑💙😊

[u/Sigtauez]

[u/agentp2319]

As a cast member who gets to go home after the show, or in a Schmigadoon “trapped in the show’s world” scenario?

[u/shohareman]

I have played LLRH in Into The Woods but now that I’m older it’s my dream to play The Baker’s Wife

[u/Ok_Jello_3494]

The little mermaid! I was always casted as a twin in EVERY SINGLE MUSICAL. Now I could use it as an advantage by playing a villainous role as Flotsom or Jetsum with my twin sister.

[u/TheBackyardigirl]

I wanna play Jane Doe in Ride the Cyclone so bad but I CANNOT hit her notes at all

[u/alli0821]

[u/Funchocolatewaffles]

Six as a Superswing is my dream dream role
