Boys going to musicals


I was just having a conversation with a friend of mine who lives in San Francisco. He told me about a straight man who goes to see Phantom of the Opera several times a year. Not because his wife makes him, not because he has a crush on the girl playing the heroine, but because he loves musicals. Straight guys who like musicals? Really?

I don't know any guys who go to see musicals on their own or who would openly admit to enjoying musical theater. Maybe this is some kind of weird West Coast girly shit? I have a sneaking suspicion that San Francisco is a treasure trove of blog worthy material. I'll have to visit soon. Until then, let's just hope that kind of girly business does not start spreading east.
