What roles have you played in Musicals?

[HPDJ]

I realise that loads of people have played different roles in plays/films/TV shows. What exactly have you done?

ME:
I've played the role of Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers 3 times in variety shows and have been an actor since the age of 5! I've written skits for my Youth theatre too including a 3 minute skit of "I'm a Celebrity, GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

Popular musicals I've done:
Honk-Bullfrog
Sweet Charity-Ice cream vendor
Oklahoma-Cord Elam
The Wizard of Oz-The Lion
Bugsy Malone-Dummy
Dam Yankees-First Boy
A Christmas Carol-Boy

FILM/TV:
Life and Debt-Rupert Warson

I've mentioned this else where but currently I am rehersing for my secondary school production Joseph and His Amazing Technicolur Dreamcoat where I shall play Reuben (the eldest of Joseph's brothers) and sing "Those Canaan Days."
I never though my swansong would be in French.

A number of year's ago I appeared in the school's production of Oklahoma as Cord Elam and I have also appeared with my church Dramatic Club in a one-act play called "Marigold Mews."

Besides that I have done countless readings in church and beem involved in many little sketches/playlets for Christmas, Easter and at the church summer club for children.

I'm also carving a bit of a nieche as an "after-dinner speaker" or at least giving public addresses having been my uncle's best man, spoken at my grandparent's Golden Wedding and I am - as I type - writing an address for school prizegiving.

I've played [this is where my head starts swelling] Thenardier and Marius [obviously not at the same time] in Les Miserables; Jeffrey in Godspell and Cratchit the gay ghost in The Theatre of Stars! Woop!

EDIT: Ooops. I knew I'd forgotten something. I played Benjamin in Joseph.

I played Mr. Clock in Parables: The Musical, a church production. I was highly disappointed in the casting decision but I portrayed the character with loads of grace and charisma. At least, as much grace and charisma as one can portray an alarm clock.

In my own production, I portray an array of characters. It's forced me to work on my range as an actor and a singer. Eventually, I plan on having my own website where I can make my show public. Until then, it's all very hush-hush.

Currently, I'm one of the Proteans in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" in my community.

Tin Man in Wizard of Oz is the only remarkable one.

Had a chance to play Charlie Brown, but I skipped the second audition because I thought the Director had his cast picked out already since he was buddy-buddy with folks he'd known from before.
