Question Home

Position:Home>Theater & Acting> You probably get this all the time: Which character would you most love to play?


Question:I have several because I do musicals, Shakespeares, comedies, etc.

I'd love to play Harold Hill in Music Man and Dr. Henry Jekyll. I'd also love to do Claudius again in Hamlet and Leonato and Petruchio again. I'd also love to do either Felix Unger or Oscar Madison in Odd Couple. In fact, a few years back, two actors (and I think one was Phillip Seymour Hoffman) were doing a two-man show like Sam Shepard's True West on Broadway and they switched off playing the two roles.

I prefer antagonist characters.

Pseudolus from "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". Yes, it would be gender-bending as I am female and the character is male, but I love playing clever tricksters and I would love to be in a comedy.
