Ooh, I want to play! I like all your choices (Well, I don't know about Wicked--I haven't had a chance to get familiar with that show yet!) Here are mine:
Lily from "The Secret Garden": Okay, really, I want to go back in time to be young enough to play Mary, but Lily is good too.
Florence from "Chess": Chess being my other favorite musical...I like Florence's balance of cynicism and vulnerability and her songs are awesome. "Heaven Help My Heart," "I Know Him So Well," "Nobody's Side"...and lots of arguing songs with the other characters! "I must protest, our delegation has a host of valid points to raise / our player's sporting attitude's beyond all praise as any neutral would attest!"
Eponine from "Les Mis": You know, I feel bound to put this thanks to the amount of time I spent singing along with her parts on the Complete Symphonic Recording when I was in high school...though I think now I would find it a little hard to pine for stupid Marius with the same enthusiasm.
Nancy from "Oliver!": Okay, Nancy really needs to wise up and leave Bill Sykes and it would be hard to sing "As Long As He Needs Me" convincingly while keenly aware of this. But I can't resist the call of Victorian London and Dickens! And it would be fun to dance on the tables during "It's A Fine Life" and "Oom Pah Pah."
