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.

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.
"You're just trying to get me to leave the board! Its not gonna work so back off ggersten!"
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.
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.
