I could't agree more. I mean, this starts to sound like the what-ifs my sixth-grade friends and I would play, trying to imagine a Funny Girl in which we could play "Danny" Brice or a show in which we could be "James" Dennis. If a female performer could get cast as the male character Evan, well, that would be a director's choice, but isn't it important that the character is a boy--especially with various relationships (I haven't seen, just listened to and read synopses).
