I see this phrase being applied to so many characters, what would you say is the ultimate female character from a play/musical?
'All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players.'

"Mama Rose" is a tour de force.

Wow, that character has garnered a lot of Tony nominations/wins.
'All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players.'

I would say that Amanda Wingfield from
The Glass Menagerie
and Blanche DuBois from
A Streetcar Named Desire
would have to be on any short list of contenders.
She doesnt get eaten by the eels at this time.
