Gender’s just a social construct, so the chromosomes of the person auditioning for the part are irrelevant as long as they can play the part effectively. Plus Heart knows her cheesesteaks.
Sorry, Heart, but you blew it when you insulted the director by implying that she didn’t even know who Rocky was and didn’t know anything about the movie.
I never watched the Rocky movies. Someone who knows the script and story, is there any reason a stage production couldn’t cast Rocky as a woman? I guess the opponent antagonists in the stories would also need to be women. It’d be making a statement, I guess, but I could imagine the story still working.
When the “PC-Woke” culture has taken over the entire world; gender reveal parties will be against the law & after you give birth this statement: Happy News Your Spawn is Healthy…Lol ;^))
I know where this is going. Heart will bowl them over with her audition and be a huge hit as Rocky. However, I’m not sure how well this would go over in the real world. I’d guess about as good as the female version of Ghostbusters. Here’s an example of what happened in my hometown. We have a very old and popular theatre here dating back to the depression era. We hired a new director who turned out to be very Woke and Progressive. He did all that many posters are talking about in such glowing terms——gender bending and gender neutral thinking. Alice In Wonderland? Why not Allen in Wonderland? Why not a guy playing Juliet or Lady MacBeth? How about a female paying Elvis? Or Frosty the Snowman? Wouldn’t that be just so wonderful and oh so modern, etc. While they were so busy patting themselves on the back they forgot one thing. The audience! NoOne wanted to come to see all these updated versions. No one. He’s no longer with us.

Million Dollar Baby did just fine at the box office, so why not a female lead for Rocky?

Heart is about to do something isn’t she?

Heart is smart enough to stay away from the tourist trap cheesesteaks at Pat’s and Geno’s.

No biggie, Rocky was played by a woman 60 years ago. Remember June Foray? :)
