"Post HAMILTON, I hoped some of them would just get cast in these roles in productions that were not specifically all female, especially Carolee Carmello and Mary Testa, who were pretty much perfect. Just because they would be the best person for the role."
It's perfectly fine for you to love gender-blind casting (if that's the correct term for it) in 1776 (or any other show) because you feel that illuminates the material in some new way, or whatever. But I really don't think it's appropriate to say the people you mentioned would "the best persons for the role" -- for many reasons, including the fact that such casting is not what the show's creators intended. |
