Ideal part in a musical/play/movie

Renille · 04-04-2003, 06:50 PM

What would your ideal part in a musical, play, or movie be?
My musical character would definitely be Eponine in Les Miserables. Very sweet, very tragic, very, very excellent part.
For a play, Emily in "Our Town." Possibly the best part EVER! It takes on new meaning every time you see the play. And in a movie? Belle from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast." I've been obsessed with that movie since it originally came out!

Plus, Belle seems to be the only female Disney character who doesn't rely on beauty and a Prince Charming to get her wish to come true. I really love that part.

My ideal part in a play would be the sound or light chair. Go techies.
Ideal part in a musical would be to play an instrument if they had some sort of musical ensemble.
Movie, the producer/person who gets all the stuff together, whatever it's called.

Professor Henry Higgins from My Fair Lady...

Or a polar opposite - the Artful Dodger from Oliver!...

Belle · 04-07-2003, 04:01 PM

Belle from Beauty and the Beast (hence the name/avatar) as that's my favourite Disney film and she's the heroine with a bit of spark and sees beyong looks in her Prince. I'd love to be Eowyn in the musical of LOTR, but Eliza Dolittle would be great or Scaramouche in We Will Rock You, or Mary M in Jesus Christ Superstar. I don't really know a lot of plays but in film it would have to be either Lara Croft or Satine from Moulin Rouge.

I would love to be Mina in Pepe Cibrian's Drácula- an Argentinian musical. It's simply amazing, and I can actually sing her part!

Or, to name a musical everyone knows, Belle in Beauty and the Beast

I'd love to play Falstaff in 1st Henry I. He's da fat!

Firekitten2006 · 04-07-2003, 05:37 PM

I'd *love* to be Scarlett in Gone With The Wind.

love that movie, have seen it WAY too many times to count, and read it like 3 or 4 times. Definately comes before LOTR.

Musical wise I'd love to play either Demeter in Cats, Mimi in Rent or Scaramouche in WWRY!
Plays- well I'd have to go with Therese Raquin who I played a while back- she's a wonderful character or if not her then Roxane in Cyrano de Bergerac.
Films- I'd love to play Sarah in a remake of the Labyrinth (with David Bowie still as Jareth of course!)

i would be the stage crew because i cant act and i dont know many plays

Bombadillo · 04-07-2003, 09:59 PM

It would be cool to be a Blue Man. That was a really good show, and you know it's different everywhere you see it. They're three different performers for each location, and all they do is mess around so they hardly ever do the exact same things twice wherever you go.

My ideal part in a movie would be the guy on the couch in Half Baked.

Uhhh the only play I've ever seen is Godspell like 10 years ago so I guess my ideal role would be Thomas the Apostle?

Salquënòrëwen · 06-20-2003, 01:58 PM

Hmm...for musical I would like to be either Jemima in Cats , and once I played Brigitta in a local production of The Sound of Music , and that was really fun, and I would love to do it again, or play Leisel.

But I met a lot of things on the way that astonished me. Tom Bombadil I knew already; but I had never been to Bree. Strider sitting in the corner at the inn was a shock, and I had no more idea who he was than had Frodo. The Mines of Moria had been a mere name; and of Lothlórien no word had reached my mortal ears till I came there. Far away I knew there were the Horse-lords on the confines of an ancient Kingdom of Men, but Fangorn Forest was an unforeseen adventure." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien
