As a woman, I can understand the desire to perform the male roles in 1776.

They are wonderful fun parts and I love the songs.

(Of course I have a particularly soft spot for this show as it was my very first Broadway show and I spent July of 1976 as part of the crew for our college production in which my then boyfriend played Caesar Rodney and most of the cast and crew spent the performance month sharing a 4 bedroom 1 bath rental a few blocks from campus cooking out over a charcoal grill in the large backyard and having after show meals at the Liberty Diner….but, I digress)
