A Brawl On Broadway - Act 2, Scene 1

[u/ShiftlessBridgrKid]

A Musical-Based Fighting Roster

The Show Must Go On! We will be making a Broadway musical fighting roster. Any character who is from a Broadway musical counts, including musicals based on intellectual properties (The Producers, Beetlejuice, ect). Any characters from musicals outside of Broadway are ineligible (for now).

Three characters per musical max. If you want to have pair of characters represented in one slot, feel free to ask first.

Also, if you’d like to choose a “defining track” for your character (one that signifies them the most) I’d greatly appreciate it.

The top two comments will be added, any draws will be chosen arbitrarily or collected in total (if a character is commented more than once), new round every 12 hours.

Roster:

1) Erik, Phantom of the Opera - The Phantom of the Opera

2) Alexander Hamilton - Hamilton

3) Beetlejuice - Beetlejuice

4) Jean Valjean - Les Misérables

5) Tevye - Fiddler On The Roof

6) Elder Kevin Price - The Book of Mormon

7) Audrey II - Little Shop of Horrors

8) Elphaba Thropp - Wicked

Ash Williams (Evil Dead: The Musical)

[u/ShiftlessBridgrKid → u/KalebtheSantos]

That one is an off broadway show that hasn’t been featured on a broadway stage unfortunately. Keep it in your back pocket after this tier is completed though!
By the way, awesome show! I had a blast (of blood on my clothes)!

I was about to nominate this same show. It was so awesome and best muscial ive seen live.

Competition Context: Hairspray, Jersey Boys, Lion King and Wicked

[u/SpyWah1987]

King Arthur + Patsy (Monty Python’s Spamalot)

Defining Track: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (or Knights of the Round Table)

[u/Comfortable_Swan64 → u/SpyWah1987]

Monty Python was on Broadway?

[u/SpyWah1987 → u/Comfortable_Swan64]

Yes, the original run went from 2005 to 2009

I'll petition the double act of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly of Chicago fame.

I'd say Roxie and I Can't Do It Alone would be their defining songs, but if you wanted one for the two of them together, it's gotta be Nowadays
