| What are the odds that the best choice for every position on the creative team would be male? It seems so unlikely that you want to ask the producers to pick your lotto numbers. | |

| Really poor argumentative style--why should any poster be able to name a specific woman, any more than a specific man? And if you look at the theatrical scene over the past twenty years, Broadway, off, regional, I am sure you would come up with any number of women who might have been approached. That's like saying, we'd LOVE to hire minorities--we just can't seem to find ANY! Disingenuous and dishonest. If women were approached and said they didn't have any interest in working on a project that makes prostitution appear to be an appealing job, THAT I could understand. |

| We SHOULD name specific men. Art isn't paint by numbers. Let's talk about artists we'd really like to get a chance. And maybe women did turn it down. Do we know? | |

| When you read across the board that the creative team of a new 21st century musical - director, choreographer, set designer, costume designer, lighting designer and sound designer are all male, you have to infer that the composition (not unlike a 1960's era boardroom) is more out of habit and comfortability (and why ruin a good thing, right?) than talent. It's understandable that no one wants to cede creative power and an opportunity; but sometimes the cycle needs to be broken conscientiously and deliberately. Producers and directors have the power to change this. | |

| To replicate the songwriting teams experience, literally ANY female pop song writer of the past thirty years would be just as qualified. | |

| So there's no difference between these women? As long as it's one of them, we're good? Just asking. | |
