In Broadway Seats, Few Guys Among the Dolls. (The New York Times, 3/29/2014\)
Once upon a time. While a night out at the theater used to be a staple for cultured American men, fewer shows are grabbing them these days. One possible reason: The golden age of grown-up musicals like “South Pacific” and “Guys and Dolls” has given way to spectacle-laden shows aimed at moms and children. And while families may have turned “The Lion King” and “Wicked” into billion-dollar blockbusters, men often feel either dragged along to such shows or grateful to be left home with the remote control.
