Okay, so Debi and I are having this fun discussion about musicals and singing and roles and whatnot, so I thought I'd open it up here:
If you sing (or even if you don't, we're fantasizing here so it's all fine), what musical roles would you like, and why? I'll go first:
Elphaba from Wicked: "Defying Gravity", "Loathing", "For Good", "No Good Deed", "I'm Not That Girl"-- need I go on? :-)
Lucy from Jekyll and Hyde: I want so badly to stand on stage and perform "In His Eyes". So badly.
Dulcinea from Man of La Mancha: I just adore her character so much. And the finale still gives me goosebumps.
Mimi from RENT: As if the songs weren't fun enough, I'd do it just for the opportunity to learn how to dance like that. Heh.
Your turn. :-)

Exactamently. *heads off to fantasize about Ewan McGregor singing "As Long As You're Mine" some more* (seriously, wait'll you hear that song. ohman)

But yeah, you were right. "As Long As You're Mine" is amazing. So is "Defying Gravity". Man. I also finally replaced my broken Moulin Rouge cd, so between the two of them it finally pushed on me enough and I've put in a request for info from a local vocal trainer. Hee.
