Choose options
Paul Shyre’s unique 1981 Off-Broadway musical entertainment 'Ah, Men' is a witty, stylized, and musically driven exploration of the male psyche, masculine vulnerability, and social roles. Utilizing an eclectic score composed by Will Holt, the production pieces together real-life diaries, essays, and historical letters written by iconic men throughout history—ranging from Benjamin Franklin to Lord Byron—to trace the evolving anxieties of manhood across generations. Staged at the South Street Theatre starring a multi-talented ensemble including Jack Betts, Curt Dawson, and Jane White, the work captures a highly specialized and avant-garde experiment in early 1980s musical-theatrical curation.
