, who co-produced the albums with James, initially got involved as part of the band for the Highline show. Toohey is also a singer and songwriter and plays in orchestras on Broadway .“The score has this ‘masculine’ energy to it—it’s this rock ‘n’ roll, in your face music,” said Toohey. “My background was rocking music, but as a woman I’ve often been passed over to play those kinds of roles because they’ve traditionally gone to men.
As an outsider to religion herself, James believes that we’ve bastardized Jesus’s teachings and his true goodness. She often says, “Buddhists really get Christ’s teaching the most.” “A lot of people, just plain sexists, came out,” James said. “‘What are you going to start doing this to every show?’ Why not? It’s been done the same way for 50 years. Is it really hurting you if one time it’s done differently? It’s not taking away from your favorite version.”
James continued, “It was so important to me to have everyone represented. I wanted women involved to have an ownership they don’t get to have in other projects. When you give women power, they take charge in a different and more elevated way. This project spoke to that. It’s not ‘female power.’ It’s social justice. It’s the future. I want to empower young girls who never get to see plays with women in power and never open a play bill and see an all women creative team. It’s important.
