I was thinking how Male dominated so many of the current shows on B'way are:
American Idiot
Billy Elliot: The Musical
Catch Me If You Can
Ghetto Klown* (But this is a one man show, yes?)
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Jersey Boys
La Cage aux Folles
Lombardi*
Million Dollar Quartet
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Rain
That Championship Season
The Book of Mormon*
War Horse
vs. FEMALE dominated shows
Chicago
Kathy Griffin
Mamma Mia
Wicked
(Certainly there are lots of shows that aren't one or the either)
Then I got to thinking about shows past to think of more female dominated shows. Would love your help adding to the list! I had problems thinking of titles. (Gads of MALE dominated spring to mind: 1776, Two by Two, Kiss of the Spider Woman) but only a few FEMALE dominated.
Certainly Thoroughly Modern Millie & August: Osage County spring to mind as of recent but what others are there? Please help me find the shows (musicals AND plays)that are Female centered/dominated!
(And I'm sure not everyone would agree that I've correctly identified all the current shows correctly, and I've marked the shows I'm not certain of being called "male dominated".)

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
