My Favorite Protagonists in Musicals

Yes, while SONGS are key to help me fall in love with a musical, the next step belongs to the characters and plot. How can you truly fall in love with a musical if you don’t truly care about the protagonist’s journey- it is their story after all. You have to form an emotion connection with them. So, what are some of my favorite protagonists? There may be some double protagonists from the same musical.

1. Elphaba
2. Glinda
3. Jean Valjean
4. Aladdin
5. Anna (as in Frozen)
6. Elsa
7. Belle
8. Simba
9. Jack Kelly
10. Christine
11. Maria (as in Sound of Music)
12. Harold Hill
13. Annie
14. Oliver
15. Pippin

This is not all of the main characters I love in musical theatre. It is only some of them.
