Easier for girls or guys?

The people who took the poll are only a minuscule amount of the amount of people who really want to be on Broadway. Also, perhaps there are just more girls than boys on the forum.

But I don't understand the percentages. What does that have to do with whether or not it is easy to be on Broadway? If anything, it would be a measure of how many people want to be on Broadway.

Whether or not a male or female can make it on Broadway depends on the types of roles offered out there.

Well, its nearly impossible for both sexes, but I would say guys have it a little easier. Mostly because there aren't as many of them and (this is NOT meant to be sexist in any way!) those that are there seem more resiliant and able to take repeated loses. I'm speaking from experience here. However, there are a lot of very strong women on the market, many of whom I would NOT mess with, who will die before leaving New York. A lot of people say that, but the harsh reality is very very difficult.

Rant over. Guys have a higher percentage chance, but its still very very low.

I have no clue on a Broadway level, but you can see it in community theatre and high school. There is an overwhelming amount of women auditioning compared to the men.

From the eyes of whatever casting director you audition in front of and based on who is needed for certain shows, I couldnt honestly guess who it would be easier for. I, myself, would hope that the difficulty for a female to get a role was no harder then a male's or vice versa but the reality is that more women do audition for roles and because shows do need men in the cast it is sometimes easier for men to get a part. I dont think it can be generalized however, considering the needs for each production vary so wether its harder for a woman or a man to get a role would be based on that individual show. Some plays need more women then men and vice versa depending on the story line etc so i think it can really vary.
