Guide Review - The Thing About Men: Off-Broadway Theater Review
The Thing About Men is the new musical comedy from the creators of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change about the creative director at a top advertising agency (Tom) who will stop at nothing to win back his wife’s affections (Lucy).
Tom loves Lucy, regardless of his infidelity. He argues that the few affairs that he has had have meant nothing. Lucy is also cheating on Tom with a bohemian artist named Sebastian, only she has one foot out the door. Sebastian is an unable to commit type of guy until Lucy who has a very curious, sort of obsessive new roommate who must know everything about the lady is his life, yet seems to disappear whenever she is around. Oh and he just so happens to look very much like Tom. He is also mad about Lucy.
The cast does a fantastic job illustrating the mind of a married man and married women when they have gone astray. Although the men in the audience may beg to differ.
