Imagine Being THAT Girl

All right, so it was brought to our attention that all of the people we aspire to be are, in fact, men... Freud, can you help us out here? Anyway, there have been some females about whom we have thought, "Can you imagine being that girl?" Granted, they aren't AS positive, and they certainly don't carry the same weight as say, a man symbolizing a whole nationwide network or a man symbolizing the sexual ambiguity at Dear Old Shiz. But, here is our tentative list of these women...

1. The "Other Arm" of Trekkie Monster in Avenue Q - We love this woman and her short 'do. It's one thing to have to "ignore" the fact that, say, John Tartaglia is completely visible onstage, speaking as his puppet while operating it... eventually the belief is suspended. However, it's pretty hard to "ignore" the completely visible woman who's basically playing three-legged race with the man providing Trekkie Monster's other arm and voice. BUT, it's more stage time than we've ever had on Broadway! Or with puppets! Actually, that's not true... we have hours and hours of footage of us doing puppet theatre. Perhaps that will be a new blog feature...
2. The "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" Girl in Evita - Okay, this part is pretty awesome. You're basically  known as the "other girl" in Evita. Downside is, you have to have The Patti Lupone get really pissed off at you 8 shows a week. Yowza. Not fun. But, as we understand it, anyone in a show with Patti Lupone suffers that consequence anyway. Worth it? Yes. 
3. The "Put on a Happy Face" Girl in the 1995 MOVIE - We pulled out the 1995 Bye Bye Birdie the other night and watched it. We discovered a lot of things including the fact that all of the songs cut out of the original movie are amazing, the opening credits end with "And Introducing Marc Kudisch" which we thought was pretty hilarious for some reason, and we have a crush on Jason Alexander (We know, we know, but watch the movie. And while you're feeling loving, watch Grease 2 and we promise you'll get a crush on Adrian Zmed.) The movie version of "Put on a Happy Face" is so cute and the girl is awesome and gets to dance with Jason (Yes, that's right, first-name basis). 
4. The one "Ugly Girl" in The Producers - You know which one we're talking about, right? During the song "I Want to be a Producer" all of the beautiful chorus girls file on stage, and at the end of the line is one "ugly" one and the whole audience bursts into laughter. Seriously. That would totally be one of us. Like, "You can be in the ensemble as long as you are prepared for the audience to think it's either a mistake or a joke!" We would take the role. No questions asked. Actually, it would finally be a chance to not feel guilty eating our usual Wendy's #6 with just mayonnaise. Seriously, the people at Wendy's know us. And our car. That's right, we don't even get out of the car to get our food: we drive through, eat it sitting down, and then drive into our house, up the stairs, and into our bed for the night. 
5. The Girl in the Yellow Dress in Contact - Considering a prerequisite for this is to be incredibly tall with long legs, thin, and an amazing dancer, we imagine being this girl would be pretty nice (See: bullet point 4.). This is Stro at one of her finest with the classic left-hand-on-stomach, right-hand out, feet swivel. We're sure Stro's blocking notations were more eloquent. 
6. Allison Janney- No description needed.

All right, since this is a running list, we're going to stop it here because our posts tend to be rather long-winded...ha. Who would YOU want to be? Let's get a lively debate going a la what is professional here in Richmond. Man, that's getting heated, eh? I feel like a debate about who would you rather be- Jane Krakowski or Megan Mullally- might cause some Anonymous commenters to post some resnarks.
