I thought Maureen was a riot and I liked Mimi and Mark.

**Draco Malfoy** March 27th 2010, 5:32 am

Angel is my favourite, followed by Mimi & Mark.... and JOANNE!!!!! I like Maureen as a character but the protest scene drives me NUTS... I don't know why....

**Daphne Greengrass** March 27th 2010, 5:34 am

I loved Angel! It was a little weird when she was talking about sucking cow udders, I'll agree with that.

**Angelina Johnson** March 28th 2010, 7:57 am

My favourite from RENT is Maureen, and Mark. And the tango is the best! I think the reason I like Maureen so much is because it's IDINA MENZEL (well, for the film and original cast, that is) and I have a sortofcrush on her! (and Kristin Chenoweth...)

Cassi Black March 28th 2010, 10:20 pm

I second that...Idina is one of my idols....I look up to her so much! As I said, it is because of her and 'Wicked' that I am a musical theatre major.....DREAM ROLE RIGHT THERE! And yes, Maureen is amazing....her song is my favourite.
"Every single day
I walk down the street.
I hear people saying,
"Baaaaby....."
So sweet."

*sigh* I love Idina Menzal.........

OMR. I agree. She is an amazing woman, and has a gorgeous husband and an adorable kid!! And yes, I have a few dream roles, but Maureen and Elphie are 2 of them. For sure.

No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!

EPIC

I am SO happy I found this thread right now. *has been listening to RENT all day* I LOVE musicals, but my list of the ones I've seen is very lacking. My favorites are:
-Wicked (of course)
-RENT
-Hairspray
-Legally Blonde
-Avenue Q
-Into the Woods
-The Wizard of Oz
-Annie
-Thoroughly Modern Millie
-Sweeney Todd
-Suessical

Just... gahh! <3 I just ADORE theater in general.

**Angelina Johnson** March 29th 2010, 4:09 am

I agree with all those! Barely anyone else I know knows about Suessical. It only ran for 6 months on Broadway.

Ginevra Weasley Inactive March 29th 2010, 4:11 am

I LOVE SEUSSICAL!!!! I was Gertrude in it!!! I love you

**Angelina Johnson** March 29th 2010, 4:20 am

When I threw my 18th musical themed party, I went as Gertrude. It was awesome.

Nikki Orwell March 29th 2010, 4:36 am

OMR, Narcissa, you reminded me!
Avenue Q!
I love it so much!

**Angelina Johnson** March 29th 2010, 4:39 am

ME TOO! It just finished a run here in Oz..and it's the only professional tour of a show to ever come to Canberra!!! YAY!

**Narcissa Black** March 29th 2010, 6:37 am

OMR I loveee Suessical, but I've only seen our high school do it. But they were all REALLY good. The drama geeks at my school have TALENT.

And Avenue Q is AH-MAZE-ING. Nikki+Rod=love times infinity.

And do you guys know Into the Woods?!

**Draco Malfoy** March 29th 2010, 6:44 am

I LOVED INTO THE WOODS... I saw it years ago with Vanessa Williams on B-way

**Angelina Johnson** March 29th 2010, 6:47 am

I JUST GOT TICKETS FOR INTO THE WOODS TODAY!!!!

I am so excited... the cast of WICKED is doing a one-night only performance of it! *dances*

**Draco Malfoy** March 29th 2010, 6:50 am

I watched the DVD of it and did my Drama project on it, but I've never SEEN it... *sobs*

Oh, and I really want to see that show list, Tam! :3

**Angelina Johnson** March 29th 2010, 6:55 am

Am excited! *dances some more*

I can audio record it for you if you like?

Hells yes Tam! I think I shall compile a complete list... mine has a few holes. I shall post it when I'm done.

**Narcissa Black** March 29th 2010, 7:02 am

WOULD YOU SERIOUSLY AUDIO RECORD IT FOR ME?! oAo

I think I would love you forever and ever. No pressure, though Razz

**Angelina Johnson** March 29th 2010, 7:17 am

I audio bootleg a heap of stuff.... I have a rather large collection of audios from elsewhere too... Including about 40 Wicked ones (at last count.) I'd be happy to share!
