Do Nine. I did it for the first time in college, and again professionally a few years ago. Great musical, and it's all women save Guido and Young Guido. And every woman gets featured in some way. =)

StickToPriest-Why does the double casting of the wolf and the prince irk you? It's always done that way in real productions to be symbolic. It's intentional.

Bially--

I meant I hate when two actors play the different parts.

Thus the ONE role of Cinderella's Prince/Wolf becomes couble cast into TWO roles.

I know that it is symbolic and intentional, thats why it irks me when they don't have the same actor play both roles.

I agree-- it's like having Captain Hook and Mr. Darling played by different actors. Takes away from some of the intended nuance.

I mentioned these in another thread, but Smile, Anne of Green Gables, Jane Eyre, and A Little Princess all have many more female roles than male.
