The Green Room / Re: Poll: Main Factor for Making it In This Business

Yeah... I'd say All of the above. Or at least a combination of them.
Hard work gets you a good name, but have a large network of people you know helps get your name out there. Sometimes you get a lucky break and the show you worked on becomes a big Broadway success; and I'm sure if you stay at it long enough it'll all happen.
EDIT:
On a second look, I think it also depends on what you mean by "making it".
Does "making it" mean being on Broadway? Getting your name on a program? Just getting by? Making a living? Getting wealthy? Keeping a lasting job? Keep getting various jobs?
I think it could mean different things for different people and therein it may be a different combination of those factors. (But I definitely agree that its a combo)
