Re: How is this possible?

[ginainthekingsroad]

A theatrical creative team is a lot of people, at least as I generally understand it: authors of book/music/lyrics, direction, choreography, designers of costumes/sets/lighting/sound, and maybe orchestrations. It's rather unusual to see a team of 10+ people all one gender.

On a smaller level, there have been a few shows with an all-female authorial team (book/music/lyrics). Fun Home last year is a major one, and The Secret Garden (1991). Some other notable shows with such teams include The Thorn Birds (2009), Ipi-Tombi (1974), 9 to 5 (2009) [although it's adapting the screenplay by librettist Patricia Resnick co-wrote with Colin Higgins], Dear Edwina (2002) and June B. Jones (2004), Runaways (1978), Bad Girls (2006), A Tale of Two Cities (the 2008 one by Jill Santoriello), Gone with the Wind (2008), Little House on the Prairie (2008).

But are you saying the achievements of Kay Swift, Lynn Ahrens, Mary Rodgers, Jeanine Tesori, Betty Comden, Lucy Simon, Elisabeth Hauptmann, Elizabeth Swados and HUNDREDS of other fantastic women of the theatre are moot just because most of their output came in collaboration with men? Because that's just silly.
