| I saw a collegeAssassins years ago that cast a female Proprietor. But she was very much a "soprano" and the music sounded awful in her voice up there. No sense of "bite" that you'd potentially get with a lower voice. I think if you're going to cast like that, you HAVE to find a way to transpose the music so it keeps a "talkier" feel. | |

| That's still a relatively unbalanced gender split. And then the ensemble is 5 men (if we count the Proprietor) and 2 women. | |
