Angel (Rent) - I think it's obvious. Adam (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers)- even if I were a guy, there's NO way I could sing like that Maria Morales (A Chorus Line)- not hispanic Jim (Big River)- God he has some amazing songs. Dorothy (The Wiz)- not african american Patsy (Spamalot)- no a BOY Billy Flynn (Chicago)- gosh, this seems to be a problem Bloom (The Producers)- " " " Pippin (Pippin)- " " " Sweeny Todd (Sweeney Todd)- " " "
that's all I can think of now. Man, sometimes you just wish you were a boy

Dream Roles: Dickon(The Secret Garden) : I'm a girl and could never pull off that accent even if I was a guy. Martha(The Secret Garden) : Again with the slight accent issue. Ren (Footloose) : Not a guy Phantom(PotO) : Again, I am not male.
That's pretty much it for now, though I'll probably think of others later.Current Roles: Golde 1 in FotR Pepper in Annie

Re:Dream roles that you can't have.... - 2007/11/19 08:45Glinda Upland - I'm an alto/mezzo Millie Dilmount - can't dance for my life!! Valjean/Enjolras/Marius/pretty much all male roles in Les Mis - lacking Y chromosone Moritz Steifel - " Max Bialystock - "
I don't know; I think I make pretty reasonable goals for dream roles, so it's pretty much all the male ones I envy."RENT fans....are colloquially known as RENTheads, and even more colloquially known as the most annoying of all musical fans." (However, Wicked fangirls may soon beat them...C: )
Dream roles: Cathy - the Last Five Years Kim - Miss Saigon Eponine - Les Miserables Amneris - Aida Wendla/Ilse - Spring Awakening

Re:Dream roles that you can't have.... - 2007/12/03 13:22I actually have a low voice so Eponine, I could do. :] But, I can also sing some pretty high notes. I was a soprano when I was in sixth grade chorus but I'm not sure that really amounts to anything.
Mark (RENT) - I love his songs but you know, I'm a chick. That ain't happenin. Galinda (WICKED) - I cannot sing like that. Elphaba (WICKED) - I actually might be able to but..."Defying Gravity" would take a lot of work. Christine (PotO) - My voice doesn't get that high Phantom (PoTO) - I'm a girl. Christine and Phantom (PotO) - Yes, I would like to play them at the same time but that would be weird...any hard. Rooster (Annie) - I'm a girl but I love "Easy Street" (Another one of my dream roles is Mrs. Hannigan ;D) Scarecrow (The Wizard of Oz) - I actually could have auditioned but they prefer guys to play the three people in Wizard. I could have actually sang it too. Angel (RENT) - I mean, seriously, one of the best roles everrr. But, I'm a girl. Link Larkin (Hairspray) - I'm a girl. Mama (Chicago) - I'm not a big, african american woman.Currently: Penelope Sycamore in You Can't Take It With You Past: Henrietta (Honk Jr.)

-Javert from les miz - not a dude, i would love to sings stars!!!
haha, actually I tried to convince my school director that we could do Les Mis, and even though we have next to no fantabulous guy singers that can act (always the challenge) we could cast girls as Gavroche and Javert! Because, ya know, neither of them fall in love with anyone, and Gavroche could be given to a freshman *waves hand around in the air* and we could all work on expanding our ranges downward, and....yes, I am a bit obsessed. -Ali

Millie from Thoroughly Modern Millie- I don't think I could sing like that, and besides, I can't dance.
Nala from The Lion King- I'm white as a ghost, for one, and there's no way I'd ever sing that low anyhow.
Aida from Aida- Again with the not being black thing. You might be able to get away with it for Nala, but definitely not Aida. And again, I couldn't sing like that.
Gaston from Beauty and the Beast- Man... that would be fun.- Caitlin / Cait -
Favorites Belle in Beauty and the Beast (2008), Jupiter in Cymbeline (2006), Narrator in Joseph... (2005) Present (possibly) YAGMCB...

Re:Dream roles that you can't have.... - 2008/01/02 13:50I know! I mean, we are doing Bye Bye Birdie and not enough guys came to auditions. So, this one senior has to play seven roles. I mean, I'm a girl, but I would so strap down the goods to be a guy, I can sing that low, seriously. I don't even have a girly-girl voice. But yeah, boys get the best parts.Currently: Penelope Sycamore in You Can't Take It With You Past: Henrietta (Honk Jr.)

Re:Dream roles that you can't have.... - 2008/01/02 14:00oooh! Here's an idea! How about we all get together and start a theatre company that's reverse-Shakespeare's time, where all of the actors are girls instead of guys...it could work...-Ali
