LIGHTEN UP

Neil Patrick Harris states that musicals of “mindless fluff [give] the theatrical medium a bad name” (“The Post-Whiz Kid Phase,” by Jan Breslauer,” Aug. 31). Silly me. I thought one goes to the theater to be entertained, but I guess I don’t have the mature understanding he does of the “theatrical medium.”

I’ve seen “Rent.” First and foremost, I was entertained. I apologize for taking the experience so lightly.
