Leading Role Heights??

Does anyone know if there are prefered heights for leading male/female parts in most musicals? Ex: 5'7, 5'10 Mr. Green

Maybe I should rephrase my question: How tall are lead actors on Broadway? What is the conventional height directors and producers look for?
Thanks!

West End - most leading men actors tend to be at least 5ft9, usually 5ft10-6 foot. sometimes taller. Women - 5ft4 to 5ft8 is preferred. Anything taller tends to be a problem unless you have a dancing lead.
