Returning the favour from your help over in Tyo's thread. 
This sounds too roomy to me. Perhaps less room-type mikes, more close mikes, then work the close mikes with emu's to create the illusion of space I think you are probably aiming for in your vision, but not quite getting.
In other words, I can hear your emu, but it's message contradicts the apparent size of room alluded to by the ambiance and early reflections in the room mikes. Downmixing to mono exacerbates the problem. Whatever, I think you need to shake the room off somehow.
I'm also tending to hear too much female and not enough male in the performance, the bass especially feels lacking somewhat. Quite possibly the headphones threw you, are they closed by any chance? Could you turn the women down and the blokes up to address this apparent imbalance?
