 Dream Sondheim Role? What's your dream role in one of Sondheim's works? Doesn't matter if your range isn't correct for the role...
Mine...
1. Mama Rose in Gypsy. Yes, I know he only wrote the lyrics, not the music, but still an amazing score and an amazingly deep character. I want to play her for one simple reason: Rose's Turn.
2. Dot/Marie in Sunday in the Park with George. Another very strong, deep character. And because I know how it feels to be a second priority in someone's life.
3. The Witch in Into the Woods. Love the music, love the grittiness of her character, and I love the not good/not bad/just right part.
I could physically act/sing every one of these roles, but I haven't gotten the chance yet!

Sweeney Todd
Harry in Company (Bobby probably isn't gonna happen)
The Witch and Narrator/Mysterious Man in Into the Woods
The Boatman in Sunday in the Park with George (I'd like George, but... Patinkin ensured the role would be written for a tenor. Same as Bobby.)

i feel like the witch from into the woods would be fun just because of all the little funny things she does.

Mrs. Lovett! Dear Sondheim Fans,
