It's World Theatre Day and - while the theatre world is in a strange limbo right now - it is the perfect time to remember why we love theatre so much! Whether you're an opera aficionado, a classical buff, or a contemporary mt fan, our industry is simply the best. We know that once the theatre doors are open once more, the audiences will flood back in and all performers will jump back onto the stage with that incredible energy we all share.
So for now, why not sit back and daydream? Over at StageAgent, a few of us have been thinking about the dream roles we would love to play if the opportunity arose. Let's check 'em out!
Laura Ware - Editor
Laura chose three goodies! Musical theatre big-hitters! Her top three dream roles are:
Wendy Silvester - Opera Guide Writer
Unsurprisingly, Wendy went for three operatic crackers. Although she had a hard time choosing just three! Her top three dream roles are:
Alex Appleton - New Works Coordinator/Guide Writer
Alex clearly shares a crossover dream with Laura and was also going to choose Mrs Lovett! To keep it varied, she's gone for another challenging character -- although her first choice might give you a clue where she comes from ;) Alex's top three dream roles are:
Cindi Calhoun - Guide Writer
Cindi's choices are fabulous roles and a nice mix! Three complex characters. Check out her top three dream roles:
So, what are your dream roles? Tell us, we'd love to know!!
And, once again, Happy World Theatre Day!
