Imagine how lame sitting through a play or musical would be if the hero didn't have to go up against some big opposition. That's why, despite their faults, stage villains are super important and make such a lasting impression. In 2013, there were five despicable characters that really stood out in audiences' minds. Five characters we just loved to hate.
Patrick Page as Rufus R. Buckley in A Time to Kill
Harriet Harris as Madame in Cinderella
Lesli Margherita and Gabriel Ebert as The Wormwoods in Matilda
Richard Kind as Marcus Hoff in The Big Knife
Vanessa Williams as Jessie Mae Watts in The Trip to Bountiful
