ranking my MT dream dream roles by how attainable* they are
*this is assuming a local theatre company is putting on the show, (even if they realistically wouldn’t) not broadway/national tour level lmao
Semi-Attainable
Agatha Trunchbull, Matilda: traditionally played by a male, (a thing I’m not very fond of, but don’t get me started lol) but her songs are right in my chest/belt range, and I enjoy terrorizing children, so.
Jennifer Honey, Matilda: so sweet. so kind. love her to pieces. Also sings right in my mix/head range.
Mayzie LaBird, Seussical: despite it being the show everyone does in middle/high school, I’ve never been in it? but I saw a friend play Mayzie when I was little and immediately fell in love. diva icon istg
Mortica Addams, The Addams Family: now we’re talking bb!! i did a school production of the Addams Family a while ago and got cast as Alice. it was a lot of fun, but I think I’d fair callbacks better a second time around, now that I’ve had more proper training.
Katherine Plumber: in my top 3 dream roles of all time. her music matches pretty well with my voice, her snark is so fun to read for, and also i can tap. i think if I picked a good audition song I’d have a solid shot.
Puck, a midsummers night dream: not a musical but i feel like a casting director would appreciate the fact that i am small and gnc and have been cast as comedic side characters. also he is tricky and I love that.
Iffy
Sonya Rostova, Natasha Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812: i really love her music and her character, but her voice sits at a rlly weird part of my range?? 50/50 if I’d even get a callback
Lydia Deetz, Beetlejuice: i just don’t think it’s realistic? her specific style of belting doesn’t treat my voice very well for some reason. still think dead mom slaps tho
Persephone, Hadestown: I’m just not old enough to fit the mature ‘Mother Nature’ vibe she has goin on
Hélène Bezukhova, Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812: see Persephone. im just not old enough yet to pull of that mature, slinky vibe she has. any role originated by Amber Grey is going to be out of my league for at least another 10+ years.
LMAFO KEEP DREAMING
Carlotta, Phantom of the Opera: Not in a million years. She’s so dramatic and fun but I am not a coloratura 😭.
Judas Iscariot, Jesus Christ Superstar: no one, and I mean no one, is casting me as Judas. however, i will continue to dream of playing this role until I’m six feet under
Kind Herod, Jesus Christ Superstar: see Judas. not happening. unless the casting pool is very, very small and very, very female heavy. then I might get a callback
The Fates, Hadestown: i can’t play any of their instruments
