| Yes. I do honestly think that, it’s why I said it. There are of course solid roles written for female characters, but I think that generally speaking we still see far more meaty roles for men in both theater and film. More so in film, but still I think it’s an issue for us too. | |

There are SO MANY great women's roles in all genres of theater, dating back hundreds of years, that it never entered my mind to think there was any gender imbalance worth mentioning in terms of the quality or "meatiness" or male vs. female roles. By the way, would you say this is even true of the American musical theater, from the beginning to the present? If yes, again, I just don't see it. |

| Strictly in terms of musical theatre, I think women certainly rule the day. | |
