Shows With a Good Gender Balance

I feel like a lot of the time shows lean more heavily towards one gender in terms of the either the number of roles or the size of roles. What are shows that pretty equal in that regard?

Come From Away (12 actors total) is exactly half and half male/female

Dear Evan Hansen (8 actors) also 4 of each gender

Romance, Romance - 2 and 2

Shows With a Good Gender Balance

Mamma Mia in terms of the number but in terms of stage time, I think the women dominate there.

Donna / Sam
Rosie / Bill
Tanya / Harry
Sophie / Sky

The ensemble is pretty even (Sky and Sophie both have two friends of the same gender, etc etc)
#8

Shows With a Good Gender Balance

It varies based on production and ensemble size, but the 1998 Cabaret (which it seems most productions have emulated since) was exactly even, 8 men and 8 women.
#9

Once on this Island is an even split, 5 men and 5 women.

For a play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf gives its evenly split cast an equal amount of Ka Pow per actor.
