Jesse Williams to Star in revival of “Take me Out”

hubba hubba

Always amazed that he considers himself 'black' and makes it a huge part of his identity, and that other black people don't call him out on it. He's up there with Halsey, or Lara Witt or Rachel Dolezal.

This is the part Jussie Smollet lost out on once he got arrested. We could have had Jussie’s cock on stage instead.

Impressive cast:

Jesse Williams, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, Hunter Parish, Ben Platt, Andrew Rannells, Chris Wood, Henry Golding, Charlie Carver

Has Jesse sent Jussie a gift basket?

R2, he’s obviously black.

Wait, R4? Is that true? That’s some quality peen on display.

What is your source for that, R4? FOUR actors from The Boys in the Band?

Just be grateful Jim Parsons wasn’t asked.

r6 maybe to Americans with their weird racial classifications, but to my european eyes he's just a white guy with a tan.

[quote]maybe to Americans with their weird racial classifications

...proceeds to racially classify him.

r11 Americans racial catagories are famously way of base with the rest of the world (for various reasons), eg spanish people not beig considered white and other such nonsense. How any one can look at the gif in r1 and think he's anything other than white is beyond me.

R9 I find Rannells and Quinto much creepier.

R12, Look at his hair, Rose. It’s African hair.

[quote]Henry Golding

Is Henry our only chance at seeing an uncut peen?

I presume he's playing Takeshi Kawabata, originally played by James Yaegashi, who is uncut. Golding doesn't look very Japanese though

I wonder if R12 sees a white man at R15.

r16 Yes of course... No one would take him seriously if he seriously tried to claim he was a Asian man, and an oppressed 'poc' like Williams has tried now would they.

I wonder why you're thinking about it in such a binary way. To be biracial is to be comprised of both races, no? The matter of oppression is secondary to this.

Can we get back to the weird cast list that was posted by R4? It seems fake.

R4 was obviously being facetious.

That said, the first time I came across Jesse was in the sequel to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. He played a nude art model, but we didn't get to see much, not even ass.

Cause it was a kid's film.

"Now and Then" from the '90s showed Devon Sawa's underage ass (as well as his brothers)

You know what, I assumed Sisterhood was a PG rated film, but it's PG-13. I guess they could have shown his ass. Perhaps he didn't want to.

Henry Golding will never present cock on films, in theaters, on pornhub, ever!

Oh dear god why does Rannells have to be in it? Now I'm out. If there's one person I don't want to see naked it's him. And what we're supposed to believe he's one of the straight players in the showers?

Unless of course he's in the Dennis O'Hare role which is also pretty bad. That's far too much Rannells either way. And Ben Platt? Who the hell cast this thing? Well maybe they'll go with the current trend of wearing bathing suits in the showers.

Why not?

They might just as well have done a revival of Party.

I saw 'Party' in Boston. That as fun !

That is, that was fun !

I saw it in NY with the greatest DL icon of them all D Pevsner! He should star in a Broadway revival.

R4 source?

What about me?? I fought the fuck back!

(4) is wrong---Jesse is the only one that has been cast

[Quote][R6] maybe to Americans with their weird racial classifications, but to my european eyes he's just a white guy with a tan.

To my American eyes, he's very much a black man. We just specify them as light-skinned or red-boned black people, due to their mixed ancestry. But he's too dark to pass for caucasian.

Yick. I hated that play. It only exists because of its nude scene. It’s an ex use to get a bunch of guys naked under a shower for 10 minutes. I’d never pay to see it again regardless of who is in the cast. It’s dreck.

I thought it was worth it for the performances of O'Hare and that Italian actor who I found so hot off Broadway buy did not move with it to the Great White Way. I suppose he wasn't that comfortable with the nudity and did not want to become too well known in that role.

I saw "Party" in NY, must be 20 years ago. Fun, silly...Pevsner looked good naked, i remember.

I am still laughing about the fact that Jussie created his name from I Jesus and mixed the letters up to form Jussie. What a tool.

I guess we won't be seeing I Jesus at the Tony awards anytime soon.

He really would be box office poison for a Broadway revival of this nature.

I remember when this play came out, Everyone was talking about it like it was genius theater when realistically, they only wanted to go to watch the actors get naked. Enjoy it for what it is but please don’t try to convince me that this boring play is life changing just because you want to watch dick in public.

Yes believe it or not Pevsner was once a very sexy attractive guy. Now he's just another alter cocker.

I bet this production will try to downplay the nudity by giving the actors a partition so we can see them shirtless and alude to them being nude.

I love the idea of Charlie Carver in the cast.

R41 Agreed. I have this feeling it won't be nearly as explicit as the original run which really did let it all hang out.

If there's a partition then you'll be forced to focus on the play and that's not a very good idea.

You know the emperor's new clothes.

Matt Bomer is definitely too busy with projects to be in this, isnt he?

If they want tickets sold, there will be dong.

It sells tickets!

R46 I agree. Itll honestly sell more tickets if that's in there.

R44 True, it was basically some kind of half-assed play (SO much narration) mixed with softcore gay porn.

Donald Trump Jr. wants to get into acting. That would be something for the MAGA tourists to NYC

That cast doesn’t even make sense. They are baseball players. Young, athletic baseball players.

Who else would you guys want cast in this?

Nick Jonas would be convincing as a baseball player.

[quote] Who else would you guys want cast in this?

I vote for Juan Castano, who showed off his horsecock in OEDIPUS EL REY at the Public a few seasons back

[quote] Nick Jonas would be convincing as a baseball player.

If Nick Jonas got naked and turned his back to the audience, whoever was speaking at the time might as well start reciting the Manhattan phone directory as nobody in the audience would be listening to a word he was saying

Simply anyone who's anyone is listed.

I don't know if simple frontal nudity where no sex is involved can be called soft core porn.

The leading actor in this play is supposed to be biracial. Biracial covers a lot of different tones of skin in actual life.

It is fucking colorist to insist that an actor can be acceptable in the role only if he is of a certain range of skin tones.

Colorist? Seriously, don’t strain yourself. Datalounge isn’t worth it.

R58 it's like when people complained about Jonathan Pryce playing the Engineer in MISS SAIGON. But the character is Eurasian, so he can look white or a mix or full Asian. Yet it's all right for a full Asian to play him.

r4 has to be wrong. Hunter Parrish found Jesus and won't do sex scenes anymore and regrets the ones he did on Weeds.

Plus there aren't that many roles for white men as the person at r4 listed.

Where does Jesus say no sex scenes for actors? Is there a list of roles that Jesus has given approval for? If I were Jesus I'd say no you can't do Blanche because she was a slut and you can't do Willy Loman because he commits suicide. You can't do Dolly because good irish catholics don't marry Jews and you can't do Maria Von Trapp because she refused to become his bride because her loins ached for Christopher Plummer at 35.

The play is horrible. Boring as all hell. Only in it for the male nudity. The cast list at R4 is way too gay for this show.

R42 same

That is just Hunter Parrish's interpretation of his religion r62. Ask him. I'm just passing on what I read.

Does Jesse Williams have an intact cock?

He's cuter than Jussie, and he doesn't have that smug look that Miss Mussie has.

[quote] But he's too dark to pass for caucasian.

R34 It isn't his complexion, the only reason people would consider him black is the texture of his hair. If I were to spend a few hours outside, I would be way darker than him, but I am white. I have other white relatives who are as dark as him. But, we don't have that texture of hair. And, I've had my DNA tested and I am only 3.4% sub-Saharan African and 90% Northern European.

Those eyes

I think his face is ugly. Like the creature from lord of the rings or something. nice eyes. nappy hair. Definitely looks black to me but you know there is white blood in him. Both Jesse's are wrong for the part. They don't look like jocks. haha.

Too bad that Jussie blew it. I would have enjoyed seeing him in the nude scenes and he's not a bad actor either.

Jessie has a right to speak his mind but he'd be a more effective spokesman for racial justice if he were less intemperate. He's also aged poorly and has now taken on the look of a semi-reformed angry drunk. He strikes me as an odd choice for a play about gay issues.

Jussie is hot, but not jockish. He can be masculine and thuggish, and he has a nice physique most times, but he doesn’t come off as jockish

I Jesus = Jussie, what a frickin joke....what a stupid made up name

Jussie the Jackass is more like it

I actually liked the play. I saw a prude production where they wore swimsuits (silly I know) but I enjoyed the play anyway. Some of the monologues are great.

[quote]Jessie has a right to speak his mind

He's arrogant. Nobody needs to hear his mouth.

He's also got that potato face.

Good thing he's got that cock....

R75 are you talking about Jessie or Jussie?

Just announced, another Jesse : Jesse Tyler Ferguson will be playing Mason Marzac.

R77 does he get naked? Cause no offense but I dont think anyone wants that.

No, Mason has no nude scenes.

How long is the shower scene? I've read it's about 15 min? Is it? It's not like they are naked most of the play, right?

[quote]Impressive cast: Jesse Williams, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, Hunter Parish, Ben Platt, Andrew Rannells, Chris Wood, Henry Golding, Charlie Carver

Will they all go full frontal?

R81 fake list

I believe there are two locker room scenes, in order to contrast the before and after the coming out and how that affected the dynamics.

Mama’s Jussie is hungry

Daniel Sunjata was the hottest

Some idiot on here is just making up casting (including the Jesse Tyler Ferguson thing). The only cast member who's been announced so far is Jesse Williams.

R86 no the JTF casting is valid.

Heres the news.

My bad, R87.

So far the only reason to look forward to this is the slim hope that Jesse Williams will absolutely lose his shit over some imagined slight and subsequently slap the fuck out of Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Jussie must be seething with anger and jealousy over losing this part. This revival could have been an amazing opportunity for Jussie to be taken more seriously as an actor and led to many other roles.

He has to now be realizing that he is box office poison.

Isn't Jessie Williams sort of annoyingly "woke"? He's sort of at pre-fake-attack-Jussie levels of taking himself too seriously.

R92 EVERYONE on Grey's Anatomy was/is an SJW! You'd have to be to get hired by the likes of Shonda Rimes who believes in quotas.

r90=Eric Stonestreet

Do baseball players manscape? Would they get a needling in the locker room by other players? Is there a danger of cutting themselves and impacting the muscles they need to play the game? I'd love to be in a MLB locker room to find out. (Yes, and other things...)

I think it would feel out-of-balance to have a big thick beard, as many of them do, and trimmed or shaved pubes. If their bushes are as big and thick as their beards are, I am interested in doing the research.

Here's a little story that should make you cry,

About two unhappy dames.

Let us call them Jussie "X" and Jessie "Y",

Which turns out are their real names...

I was given the opportunity to be in the locker rooms at the major league All-Star game when I was a teenager, friend of a friend, that sort of thing. I'm not going to name names, but I was shocked at the large amounts of pubic hair on the majority of players I saw, definitely above what I considered the norm. (I was looking at Playgirl magazine when I could find it.) When I was in graduate school, for my thesis, I thought I could establish a link between excessive pubic hair and athleticism. My advisor thought it would be too big to handle. Beside, he asked how I was going to compile my data. That's when it got sticky. I abandoned the idea.

R98, how many years ago? Mickey Mantle years or Buster Posey years?

[quote]how many years ago? Mickey Mantle years or Buster Posey years?

Shoeless Joe Jackson years.

Long time ago

The mid-70s, R99.

[quote] Isn't Jessie Williams sort of annoyingly "woke"? He's sort of at pre-fake-attack-Jussie levels of taking himself too seriously.

Yep. For such a handsome man he has no charisma, and is quite the wokescold. And a complete shit to his wife.

R103 well it's ex wife now.

Nobody "manscaped" in the mid-'70s.

No one manscaped in the 1970s, but there were plenty of men who had a lot more pubic hair than the rest of us. I saw all of them in the high school locker room. Ironically, those with the biggest bushes were the star athletes.

Is there a part for fat assed Jeremy Jordan?

Apologies if already mentioned upthread but kinda ironic that it's Jesse from Grey's Anatomy doing this role.

The original in the role (I think) was Daniel Sunjata, who also went on to play a role in Grey's (he was one of the guys who dated Bailey).

Daniel Sunjata is so sexy and charming. Jesse Williams doesn't hold a candle to him.

Jussie was juicy but dumb as a rock.

Jesse was messy but had a great cock..

Jussie wants to be Jizzy

Jesse wants to be fizzy

So neither guy is jake with what he is, is he?

R106, there have always been dudes who shaved or trimmed

R98, Wow! What an opportunity! Those were my early teenage years. I collected baseball cards, but I only kept the ones with players I considered hot. I still have them somewhere in my basement. On this very rainy weekend, I recalled the players I wished I could see naked. Just thinking how many All-Stars had a lot of pubic hair, and you got to see it (and everything else!) Jealous!

Amos Otis, Billy Williams, Bobby Grich, Bucky Dent, Chris Speier, Dave Winfield, Gary Carter, Jim Palmer, Jim Rice, Joe Torre, Larry Bowa, Mike Schmidt, Phil Garner, Steve Garvey, Rollie Fingers, Ron Cey, Ted Simmons. Yes, it’s alphabetized, I’m OCD that way. Were any of these among the most hairy?

I traded away my Pete Rose baseball cards. (I even grew up with the Big Red Machine in Cincinnati.) Am I stupid or what? I knew he was a great player. I just didn’t find him worth fantasizing about.

I hope some of the new TMO actors are intact. I want to see foreskin.

I think that the new Take Me Out runs the risk of being dated. The gay issues of the past, for example, coming out, etc., are not quite as relevant any longer. Maybe in sports it’s still difficult to come out, but that’s no longer the case in almost every other profession or in society in general. Coming out is not the scandal, shame and embarrassment it once was.

R115 let's hope not!

Some of it is extremely well written with some very interesting characters.

Off Broadway it was in 3 acts, a bit longer and better.

R116, you overstate the progress

R116 clearly watches too many movies/shows. According to Hollywood, every person of every race/creed/sexuality gets along.

Well in the world of pro sports it's just as big a deal as it ever was. The premise is not at all dated.

Major Leaguer Steve Yeager posed for Playgirl in October 1982, This is an introductory photo.

We're so close, Mr. Yeager, please turn a little to your right. Just a little more. Please, a little more. Set yourself free, Mr. Yeager. We were almost there, tantalizingly.

Major Leaguer Dick Baney had no reservations about posing for Playgirl after retiring.

His centerfold.

It is playing a tiny theater so everyone will have a good view of the pingas. They should change the title to The Boys In The Dugout if the above cast is true. Andrew Rennels as a baseball player? LOLOL

If only Steve Yeager had tossed all fears aside and turned for a complete full-frontal. When you’ve revealed that much, you might as well go all the way.

If I had seen Jim Palmer, Mike Schmidt, Steve Garvey, Dave Winfield, Bobby Grich, Ron Cey, Ted Simmons, Billy Williams, Gary Carter or Amos Otis naked in the locker room, my teenage body would have an involuntary emission. If they had big bushes I would probably faint. There were others who weren't all-stars. I just love baseball...

Yes, I saw Take Me Out in its initial run on Broadway. I didn't emit or faint. I can't guarantee it in the revival.

Yum Jim Palmer & Steve Garvey!

Jason Priestly is in negotiations. They need to see if he’ll be finished shooting the 90210 reboot in time to do this.

r130 For what? He's too old for one of the ball players, and JTF has the Denis O'Hare part.

R131 he wasn't too old when the show originally premiered in 2003.

Word is Darren Criss really wants in on this but the producers don’t know if he’s the right fit.

r132 What does that have to do with the new production?

Not only should they keep all the frontal nudity as it was in the original, to make the confrontation scene in the shower between Jesse's character and the redneck homophobe pitcher, I think erections would heighten the tension between the two characters and show the real reason for redneck boy's homophobia -- to deflect suspicions about his own secret feelings.

I'd make room for Darren Criss.

R133 fake

R133 in terms of looking like a ball player? He's short but a lot of baseball players are. He looks pretty fit and not all players are bulky.

R133 how do you know that?

I guarantee you that this would become a box-office blockbuster if word got out that Darren Criss would be fully frontal in it. It would sell a sh*tload of tickets. Think about it, producers!! I'd certainly be there, front row!!

I wonder if they will keep casting bigger names. Both the Jesse actors arent huge names but are on successful TV shows.

I think you'd have to be front row to actually see Darren Criss's little peepee. They need to cast actors with equipment of sufficient size to be visible in the back balcony.

CASTING NOTICE: young actors (25-35) wanted for major Broadway play. Full nudity is required. Prefer only actors with impressive … ahem... credits. Athletic background a plus. Please wear tight-fitting sheer spandex tights to the audition.

Seeing the front would be nice but I'd be excited to see Darren's booty as he walks around that stage.

R144 what stage?

R145 the stage of this play if he would perhaps be cast in it.

Would I love to be in the room at the auditions...

This is the gold standard that needs to be equaled or bettered. Kohl Sudduth from the original production of Take Me Out.

When the play was still off-Broadway, the audience sat much closer to the stage. Kohl Sudduth stood no more than two feet away from me and his substantial man meat was right at eye level. It was all I could do to refrain from grabbing his cock and start chowing down!!! I was literally shaking.

Oh! Calcutta is on Youtube at this link. The opening and closing scenes are nude. You probably know most of the scenes between them aren't nude in nature. There's a beautiful dance scene when the man and woman are naked. The man, George Welbes, is beautiful and has a giant bush. All the men have big bushes. (All the women have big bushes.) It was the early 70s, after all.

Bill Macy from Maude is nude. A man who had guest parts in a lot of TV crime dramas in the 60s, Mark Dempsey, is nude.

It wouldn't be a stretch if some of Broadway's current male stars, or some of those gorgeous male dancers in musicals, would consider a revival production. I would love to see it.

R133 Where is that poster hearing that Darren Criss wants in? Doubt anyone would know that except those on the inside of production which I doubt some rando on this site is.

[quote]Where is that poster hearing that Darren Criss wants in?

From the voices in his head, of course.

Hugh Jackman in the full monty revival.

Allegedly, this is Huge Jackman. He has said he is fully comfortable with nudity. Here are his comments:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/hugh-jackman-was-given-film-his-penis-x-men-origins-wolverine-wrap-gift-987901

I have no doubt Hugh Jackman would stand under a shower giving the audience a long look at him, full-frontal. His part could be that of an aging relief pitcher. It's plausible.

Aside from the nudity, is this a good show?

R156 It won the Tony for Best Play and Best Director and was nominated for the Pulitzer.

OK, one of you NYC theater queens have to promise to capture all this nudity on digital video for us. There are excellent spy glasses with built-in cameras perfect for this very purpose.

Why is it that for the original TAKE ME OUT cast there exists clear nude photos of the rest of the cast, but Daniel Sunjata's are all fuzzy? That pisses me off!

I think he's really cute.

I've never heard of or seen the original show. Is there nudity in it? Please tell me Jesse's going to be showing us his legendary ass. I demand New York theatre queens take plenty of photos or else they'll have to turn in their gay cards.

R161 in most productions the actors are completely naked cause they play pro baseball players in a shower/lockerroom.

R161 but it's for about a 10 to 12 minute section of the play not the whole thing obviously

R163 That's plenty of time for Jesse to present, so I won't be complaining.

PREVIEWS BEGIN APRIL 2, 2020 / HAYES THEATER

TAKE ME OUT

WITH PATRICK J. ADAMS, JULIAN CIHI, HIRAM DELGADO, BRANDON J. DIRDEN, JESSE TYLER FERGUSON, CARL LUNDSTEDT, KEN MARKS, MICHAEL OBERHOLTZER, EDUARDO RAMOS, TYLER LANSING WEAKS, JESSE WILLIAMS

From his bio:

Jesse is an activist/actor/entrepreneur and former high school teacher.

Jesse taught high school? Christ, if I was his student I'd be dropping pencils and books 24/7.

I remember going to the theaters with my sister to see the sequel to THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS and being awestruck by his beauty! Also, he played a nude model that one of the girls gets involved with, but alas the film didn't show anything when he posed for art class, not even butt. My sister and I were both pissed! think we're going to have to take a trip to see this one. LOL

I can't wait to see his caramel nakedness!! I hope the director this time is as generous with the nudity as they were with matter-of-fact casual nudity in the original production. They had extended scenes with multiple actors completely nude. The shower scenes were staged completely down center and very well lit, so that no details of the beautiful actors were hidden. It was absolutely amazing. Lots of big cocks swinging across the Broadway boards!! Only the Japanese player was hung small (which makes sense). Kohl Sudduth had a role with few lines but made an enormous impact with his big cock and even bigger, low-hanging balls.

There will be no nudity in this production. It will all be towel dance.

[quote]WITH PATRICK J. ADAMS

I can't think of a single episode of SUITS in which I did not contemplate his dong. They hardly ever took Mike's shirt off.

Patrick J. Adams is an excellent actor. He had to pretend to fuck Meghan Markle.

OK - Williams and Adams - two hotties we all want to see frontally nude. Who else in the cast looks to be possible eye candy? I'm talking fat cocks and hot asses.

Ben Affleck was going to make a movie of this.

Jesse Williams is pretty talented. Besides his obvious attributes, he's been directing episodes of Grey's Anatomy the season

I do like Jesse Williams, but I'm no deviant.

It would be so hot if Jesse could get at least a semi-erection for his shower scene with the homophobic pitcher. He does wrestle him naked and forces a kiss on him. A boner, or semi-boner, would really bring home the realness of that situation. That's a lot to ask of an actor, of course, but I'd love to see him with a cock at full attention. That gives me an idea -- what if the entire cast sprang embarrassment boners in the shower scene with the whole cast? And they all stand there wet and exposed, stroking their throbbing cocks, pretending not to look at the other cocks. I bet Patrick Adams has a nice-sized erection.

Eight times a week? They'd need to create a new Tony category if the actors could pull that off...

"And the Tony for Best Actor in a Tumescent State goes to … "

"I'd like to give a special thank you to my personal assistant Noah, who tirelessly works backstage to prepare me for these scenes. No one can suck cock like Noah Bernstein."

I saw the Broadway production. After the initial audience gasps of surprise and appreciation, the second shower scene (with a brief nude fight) was less titillating. Most of the script is a lengthy treatise about the nature of sports, Americanisms, the tribal nature of it, etc. O'Hare was excellent (he played the sports writer and did not get nude, obviously).

While several hidden phone clips exist online (see link), the new production's producers will probably enforce a 'check your cell phones' rule or mandate a clip-on Off button as Madonna did for her concerts. Perhaps some determined voyeur will don a pair of (now-antiquated and reviled) Google glasses.

Either way, the film adaptation will most likely chicken out on full-frontal nudity, with the exception of lesser roles, non-star player characters.

The Broadway Act II duo nude shower scene:

I want to check this out. Daniel Sunjata was excellent in the clips I saw of him years ago.

I hope the new TMO features some all-natural, intact penises.

Who play the racist or homophobe ? I hope they don’t give him a mullet.

R182; So that was Saniel Sunjata in the left?

From 186- Daniel, Saniel

Open casting call for the TMO revival was the first in Broadway history to specify wrestling singlets for audition wear. The halls outside the casting room were filled with young actors lining up furiously fingering themselves in order to plump up the goods (you only make a first impression once!). Some of the actors pushed up against each other, rubbing their hard cocks together. I'm sure waltzing into the audition with a full tent and pre-cum wet spot made quite the impression. I'm sure lots of actors were given private sessions with producers to be "coached" for their callbacks.

Gee, R188; what a story. Everything but the bloodhounds rimming their rear ends.

Fasten your seatbelts, R189. It's going to be a humpy night.
