What is a dream role in your mind that you would love to play, knowing you could never do it
0:05
Uh, well... Yeah. Yeah, I know. Um, I don't know. That I'll never play
0:12
Oh, oh, okay. No. Um, this is easy. Aida. For several reasons, but mostly I don't really have, like, the right arms for it
0:23
The Witch and Into the Woods. Boom Crunch, for sure. Maria from West Side Story. She gets to sing really high and I can't sing really high quite anymore
0:36
Elphaba from Wicked because I just want to do that on the big thing, go up into the sky
0:41
It's the Paragua guy in In The Heights. I want to be him so bad because I saw the show. It's one of my favorite shows in the world
0:48
But every time he came out, the audience went wild. Emmanuel, I know I have no chance but like concert furniture
0:55
I'm gonna say Richard III. Reno Sweeney because I can't tap. I really can't tap
1:01
I mean, I really can't tap. I wanna play Shrek. You wanna play Shrek? Yeah
1:06
The green stuff on. Yeah. That's a good part. It's one of my favorite music lines
1:11
I would say, like, probably Anita in West Side Story. There are several reasons I should never play that role
1:18
But the main reason I should never do it is because my dancing is so pristine
1:23
that I would just show up all the previous Anitas and it would just, it would be a coup
1:27
It would be a coup. Mrs. Doubtfire. Probably want to play Billy Bigelow in Carousel
1:33
What comes to mind is King Lear, but now I think we can because Glenda Jackson broke through that glass ceiling for us So like yeah I don know And now I got to come up with a new impossible A fellow Oh I going to say any of the roles in Once on this Island
1:48
And I'm just not correct for any of those parts. Yep. Harold Hill in The Music Man
1:55
Just because I'm not a leading man, I'm a character man. Mrs. Johnston in Blood Brothers
1:59
Too young now, probably. But yeah, that's the one. Lady M in The Scottish Play
2:05
Pontius Pilate from Jesus Christ Superstar. I think I should take a real genuine crack at that role
2:11
Because I get it. And I want it. Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar
2:17
Any of the dream girls. Dina, Effie, or Laurel. I will never be able to play them because I cannot sing. At all
2:26
I'm a designer so I don't really have dream roles but let's say that I would really like to design Hello Dolly even though no one would ever hire me to do that musical
2:34
How would you design it? Contemporarily. Like, hey Dolly, what's up? What's up Dolly
2:42
Julian Marsh in 42nd Street. My dad played Julian Marsh and that was the first musical theater experience I ever had
2:49
And so I just want to be like a jerk to people. I feel like that's a good role for that
2:54
I will never be paid to play Captain Hook. But I would be a supremely good Captain Hook
3:02
I can't remember Vicki Clark's character in Light in the Piazza, but she sings those incredible songs
3:09
and I remember watching her and being like, what? I don't have the range for all that, but that would be my role
3:15
Che Guevara and Evita. Anybody? Any takers? No
