Hehe.. I'm pretty much as pale as death.. and I've played Tuptim. We got this rub on tan stuff, and I was definitely much, much darker... Fairly recent picture: From King and I:
It's all in the makeup guys.. especially when you don't live in a very ethnically diverse area..
And unless race is an important element in the storyline, most companies cast colour-blind.
To keep on topic... I would love to play The Pirate King in Pirates of Penzance. Too bad I am not a baritone or male..Kathleen Sera Current Shows: West Side Story - Wardrobe Supervisor Upcoming Auditions: Cruiseship Pinafore - Hebe or Josephine, Crazy For You - Irene Roth

Re:Dream roles that you can't have.... - 2007/08/26 15:28It seems like almost all of my dream roles are out of reach... mainly because most of them are men! Such as: Almost every male role in Joseph Phantom! Aida I know she isn't a man but I'm white and she isn't Sour Kangaroo from Suessical mainly because I can't sing like that Roger (Rent) again I'm not a guy and I could go on forever about roles I want but can never have...Kylie
