What are the straightest musicals out there? I guess in other words, what shows would manly men enjoy?

Jersey Boys seems to be popular among men.

Are you speaking of bisexual men, as well? Even though they do not "exist" in your mind, Philly?

A Chorus Line.


When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Fiddler On The Roof, and I say that because it's the only musical my dad enjoys, and he's an old-fashioned wood-panel beef-roast-for-dinner dad.

"Is There Life After High School?".  It has a whole number about beer, and not the gay craft microbrewery kind.

Isn't there an index somewhere of Shows For Insecure Straight Guys?

"THE FULL MONTY"


My father's only comment when the curtain came down (it was his first -- and only -- Broadway show): "Well... that was pretty gay."

 PhillyPinto, you are so utterly offensive.

What kind of question is this, Phil?


What is a "manly man"?  What does that even mean? 


People can enjoy all sorts of shows. "Manly Men" can enjoy any musical - or not enjoy any musical.  Even "Cats".  


You need to get out of your stereotyped and categorized insular world.  Heck - you are a student at a large public university.  There may be one or two "manly men" there that might even speak to you.  Ask them.

 Stay..go.. makes no difference to me.  


I do not understand the question you asked and you haven't clarified it.   To me, it's inane, because it has no connection to reality.  I can't even comprehend how you would formulate such a question.  


Seriously, why don't you ask one of your theatre professors this question?  I'm sure you will get an earful.

 Just how much time he spends in class is questionable considering how much he posts on here at all hours.  Or it calls into question the quality of the college he attends.  Maybe both.  After all, he purports (I think) to being a theater major, yet asks such an intrinsically offensive (and, yes, inane) question.


 


I can't imagine anyone would want to work with him - even at the community level - with such thoughts.

Are all "manly men" straight? Do straight guys only like straight musicals? Is a straight, masculine man more interested in a musical that would reaffirm his sexuality instead of a musical of quality?

Phylly, your question would be less offensive if you put quotes around "manly men" to suggest a tongue-in-cheek reference to reluctant theater goers (my father, for example) who liked the following because they weren't "sissy musicals":   


Sugar Babies (He liked Micky Rooney and the strippers; didn't realize that Ann Miller was an icon, not just "a broad who still danced pretty good considering")


Gypsy (he thought Mama Rose had "some balls" + strippers again)


Guys and Dolls (well, anybody who doesn't like G&D doesn't have a pulse)


Maybe someday there will be a Broadway show starring the Brawny Paper Towel, Irish Spring Soap and Marlboro Cigarette fellows....all manly men, just singin' and dancin' and winkin' up a storm.

My dad is the most heterosexual Average Joe you can imagine, and he has no shame in claiming CATS as his favorite musical.

Book of Mormon 102.4%, it still boggles the mind, but that seems to be the straight man's show, have a few straight friends who would see that and that only.
