Can't remember if Significant Other qualifies for this or not.

Caption: Every so often there was a rare moment of perfect balance when I soared above him.

I really want to suggest "Rabbit Hole" by David Lindsay-Abaire, but that's 3w, 1m, and a boy. Maybe if one of the women can play a kid? I read the script and the gender of the kid doesn't seem important from what I can recall

If not, and you can get more women actors, "Jake's Women" by Neil Simon would be nice. That's 7w and 1m

Three Tall Women has 3 women and 1 male right? 

Eclipsed has 5 female characters but perhaps it's possible to gender bend and make Rita (character who works for the UN/peace organization) a male?

"Doubt" has three females and one male but maybe you can alternate the female lead. I don't know.
