The Gman's Musical Dreamroles

I've assembled a trove of the musical roles I aspire to occupy.

Tevye-Fiddler on the Roof

This guy's a nuanced, untraditional leading man. I've amassed makeup techniques which could construct a suitable look. My Tevye should be a family man in an existence of shifting ideals and increasing anti-Semitism. This role entails a 4th-wall breaking opener, a multifaceted solo, an uproarious Lazar Wolf duet, a number of reflection and a heartwarmer Golde duet. It'd be palatial enacting Tevye's Godly friendship. I'd be totally in the moment.

Patrick Star-The SpongeBob Musical

I'd be elated participating in this sleeper hit. I'm mighty appreciative of the Band Geeks reference. It'd be rad enacting Patrick's ark. Star's musical numbers include a peerless intro, an accurate BFF number, a boppy song, a poignancy-inducer, social-satirization and 2 compositions co-penned by esteemed people. I could warm up by reciting Patrick lines. The costuming would be intricate. I'd aspire to bring refreshing realism.

Wilbur Turnblad-Hairspray

This guy's a steadfast, gregarious dad/hubby. I'd be conveying total sincerity prior to Tracy's audition and earnestness in You're Timeless to Me. I would incorporate quirkiness 'cause Wilbur's in the novelty biz. It'd be groovy being a fellow who's pro-integration. Wilbur utters the show's grandest line and the finale would propose objectives of difficulty.

Professor Henry Higgins-My Fair Lady

This leading man's totally substantial. 'Enry 'Iggins interacts with righteous characters. This role would be rewardingly onerous 'cause it requires reciting lyrics to varying abberant accompaniments (however, I'd carry the occasional notes). It would be challenging 'cause the professor demonstrates heinous behavior. It'd be intriguing having my character lambasted through songs.

Jud Fry-Oklahoma!

It'd be a privilege to partake in a musical theatre gamechanger. I could enact shifting-moods, a downward spiral and humanization. An unnerving duet and baleful solo are attributed to Jud. Though the dream ballet would be outside my comfort zone, I'd participate for consistency. This show would be educational 'cause I haven't partaken in stage-combat.

Marcellus Washburn-Meredith Willson's The Music Man

This show's stupefying musical comedy. It'd be crafting a hoofing fella oughta me. I'm giddy at the prospect of being a comical sidekick. I'd provide the required exuberance. Though I deem Washburn's solo unappealing, I'd sing Meredith's enthralling finale. The notion of a schlubby guy interacting with a debonair Harold Hill is humorous.

Rooster Hannigan-Annie

Rooster is a vocalist of an eminent villain song. I could grow a pencil-thin mustache, crow and enact a Brooklyn accent. I would mix swagger, scariness and sleaziness. I'd have 2 meritable villainesses to interact with. Differentiating Rooster's stance, vocalizations and demeanor would pertain to his Ralph Mudge guise. Incidentally, I'd emulate Robert Fitch's leg swivels.

Benjamin Franklin-1776

It'd be satisfying embodying a historical figure. I'd be mimicking gout and throwing shade to John Adams' face. I'm initially carried into congress and in the concluding tableaux. Benjamin Franklin partakes in consummate musical numbers. I'd aspire to craft a performance of wryness and gravitas.

Max Detweiler-The Sound of Music

I'd be enthralled to participate in this magnum swan song. I favor the character of Max. Despite being a freeloader and opportunistic, he's revealed to be a man of respectable loyalty. I'd try my darndest to be blithe, refined and endearing. Incidentally, it'd be gladdening to potentially assist in introducing two numbers of obscurity to the crowds.

The Cat in the Hat-Seussical the musical

It'd be righteous partaking in another allegorical family show. The outfit is stupendously snazzy. Jojo and The Cat have a sibling-esque repoire. There's 4th-wall breaking and ab-libbing. The Cat corresponds to songs of total splendor. The Cat's incidental characters would be a blast. I could be a rather puckish emcee.

Fagin-Oliver!

This shan't be surprising to specific people reading August's post. This fellow is a levity-source in a bleak show. Despite being a rogue, he's not abominable (especially in comparison to the alternative). The Artful Dodger and Fagin are a smashing duo. Fagin's musical numbers are varying degrees of astonishing. I could accomplish the mannerisms, quirky flamboyancy and nuances.

Miss Elmira Gulch/The Wicked Witch of the West-The Wizard of Oz (RSC)

In my teens, I musically debuted as Nikko in a local production. It'd be rad if I could revisit the piece as Gulch/The Witch. I'd characterize Gulch as a fictionalized incarnation of a Kansas shrew and The Witch as Dorothy's Ozian fascist representation of Gulch. I can concoct as cackle. The costume/makeup transitions would be arduously satisfying. I reside in an era of safely executed effects. I would be humorous, yet sinister. I'd be subdued as Gulch and batty as The Witch. It's probable that I'd be assisting in providing a audience's initial exposure to Jitterbug. I'd be filling a friend, Bille Brown and Margaret Hamilton's shoes and co-starring with a contemporary Nikko. I've witnessed how to authentically embody a drag villainous. It'd be stimulating revisiting the show as an evolved person, being associated with Herbert Stothard music, entrancing via a bicycle, carrying a broom and accumulating curtain-call boos.
