Naked Boys Singing

I saw it in New York and was underwhelmed. After you get a good look during the opening number, the rest is like a bad musical revue. Better they had undressed gradually and given us peeks before getting naked.

Naked Boys Singing is just like Dinner Theatre; two nice things that both become mediocre when you put them together.

Joseph Keane who play the perky little porn star from Skokie Illinois is a stand-out.

I saw this in NYC and locally (Boston). Obviously, the off-Broadway show had a much better looking, more talented cast. But still both were not really great. Just mildly amusing. And I found myself not really turned on by the gratuitous nudity in the slightest. I felt embarrassed for the cast to be honest. What would their mothers think?

It always sounded tacky.

Joseph Keane was absolutely lovely. Twink perfection!! The rest are so-so. The guy with the huge cock is a terrible performer. The muscular guy is quite easy on the eyes, however. I love the chutzpah of the chubby guy, who despite average looks, terrible body and tinymeat, seems perfectly at ease with himself in every number. Gotta admire that lack of body shame.

I saw them in San Francisco and they were ugly and boring. I walked out and demanded a full refund.

Was this playing in NY in 1995?

All bottoms of course.

Which one had the biggest cock, they all looked the same to me in size that is.

I’ve seen it a couple of times in person. Harmless fun, not weird at all.

I guess the opening number when the man in the audience cell phone goes off and he agrees to get naked is on the payroll? They should have hired a porn star for that role.

It was stupid. There is no reason to watch this. You might as well jerk off to porn while listening to a Broadway show tunes album.

[quote]One of the dancers was in Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour.

And she was a monumental bitch.

R13 LOL

When I grew-up I had to go to Walden Books at the mall to see a naked man. I will never get used to- or tired of- seeing a man naked.

Why were they naked men in a bookstore. Did they enter the store that way?

Why were there. Sorry.

It wasn’t awful like some off-Broadway gay fare (“Making Porn” the worst of the worst—and we saw that with the understudy for the lead—who’s supposed to be horse hung—well, the understudy was underwhelming in that regard too). A colleague recommended it (my provost, actually). It was reasonably fun, but no more erotic than something like “I Love Uou You’re Perfect Now Change.”

r13 What Broadway songs would you jerk off to?

You Can't Get a Man with a Gun?

"I'm quick on the trigger With targets not much bigger Than a pinpoint - I'm number one But my score with a feller Is lower than a cellar Oh, you can't get a man with a gun"

I saw in twice in LA and once in NY. The first time I saw it in LA, the guy who sang about the nude maid sat in my lap at the end of the number and gave me a (fake) business card for his services.

I thought it was a cute, harmless, fun revue. But I actually liked "Altar Boyz" better (I've seen that three times.)

It's exactly what you'd think. Everyone in the audience is a gay man there really only for the nudity, and the performers are there really only because they're frustrated musical theater stars and desperately want people to hear them sing.

"Howard Crabtree's When Pigs Fly" didn't have as much full nudity, but the men (David Pevsner!) were cuter and the show itself was much more fun. This revue was only so-so.

[quote] What Broadway songs would you jerk off to?

Oh please, no one else answer this question. You will only give the rest of us pain.

Everything's Cumming up Hoses.

If I Had Ten Inches from Diddler on the Roof.

Hello Wally!

Hey Bend Me Over.

Swingin' In The Rain

You would think they would have gotten some better looking guys.

Hey do any of those guys need a father?? I already got a son, but my heart is big enough for two sons! Or even more sons!

Oh What a Beautiful Boner.

I'm Just a Slut who Can't Say No.

Oklahomosexual.

Jake Orion is learning to sing and dance for the next off Broadway production in Florida. Now that would sell some tickets!

Both the film version (legal) and the 14 minute bootleg one taken from the audience (not legal) have ended up on porn sites. The one of the actual show had, I think, cuter guys (since they weren't expecting to be filmed).

Last year's naked show, "Camp Morning Wood" had for part of one day a video on their website (or social media) showing the guys fully-naked, but I guess someone complained, and it was quickly taken down. Shame, as the guys were cute, especially the black guy who was very well-endowed. Haven't seen that video pop up again since,

I don't get it at all. It's like nude vaudeville. It'd be different if it was a Broadway Bares scenario where they come up with sexy routines and song choices and stuff like that to make it hot, or even interact with each other. But no, it's literally just what it says on the tin. Naked dudes singing, which isn't hot at all. Not to mention every single one of the guys is a flamer, which for some reason makes their nudity less arousing.

It's like going to a nude version of 54 Below, which I imagine exists only in hell. This type of thing could have worked if they'd just handled it differently. Naked vaudeville isn't appealing.

Not enough quality cocks for the price of admission.

Anyone see Jeff Stryker or Ryan Idol in their stage shows? Not dance clubs but actual plays, which they both did.

I saw Jeff Stryker's play in LA. At the end, the audience filed out past Jeff, who shook hands with everyone while wearing nothing but a bathrobe that was open to show off his most famous asset.

R37 Did you service him?

Any news of any of the naked boys these days?

I saw part of the LA show decades ago, and I thought I would be super turned on by it. After about 10 minutes, I was completely turned off. I found it bizarre. I was cringing and glad I was so close to an exit! It was weird to see the human penis and body moving the way it did when they danced around the stage. Plus, part of the audition should have been checking out the penis length. Some of those guys were embarrassingly "cursed" with Irish DNA!!! It felt like a talent show at a nudist resort!

Cursed?1

The show is a musical revue, not just about the longest dick. Guys who've done the show says the audience checks out their bods and genitalia at first (in general) and then start to concentrate on looking up a bit more and enjoying the musical numbers. Yes, I'm sure there bods are looked at however you want to during the show, but most of them have good looking smiling faces too and usually very nice singing voices. Some of them are straight, too, doing it for the experience and the ... exposure. Hah!

their bods, sorry for the error

This guy was the show-er in the filmed cast.

Not once have I ever gone to a male strip club and thought "You know what? This could use a little vaudeville pizzazz! Ha-Cha-Cha!"

I had a manager at the time this was running who wanted me to audition for it. Um, no.

Is the audience just old pervs?

r44 how do you know he's a show-er?

Naked Boys Singing is not all that different from the nude strip shows they would show at The Gaiety in NYC, but with singers instead of just bad dancers.

Is the singing at least good?

The one on the far left is joe Souza who is mostly known for doing soft core porn movies on Cinemax. He gets bit parts on tv but has spent the last 20+ years trying to make it.

The black guy in the film I saw in some (clothed) musical revue in NYC a few years ago at the smallish 59E59 theater. He was very good but otherwise kept his clothes on.

The " dancers" at the Gaiety danced? You could have fooled me.

"Is the singing at least good?"

Judge for yourself.

Here.

A good friend of mine was in Naked Boys singing off-Broadway (a replacement, not on the original cast album). That made it a bit weird to see the show. Yes, I'd shared a dressing room with him before, and seen him naked -and once ran into him at the baths (no action). But this was a couple of hours of swinging dick. The audience was mostly women out for a bachelorette party or a girls night. The men were generally older, but there were only a couple of them. The women were mostly drunk and disorderly, the men were well-behaved. My friend (who has been working steadily in a Broadway musical ever since) said that in the cast there was one straight guy -and he was the one with the biggest dick, who did the helicopter in the face of a lady in the front row. There was a "no fluffing" rule backstage.

As someone already said, at first you're just staring at all the cock and balls. Then you begin to notice the rest of the body performing on stage. They were all fit and handsome. And they could all sing. The songs themselves are all about nudity -in both appropriate and inappropriate situations. Several of them are quite good. It's not a show you're ever going to see in your local community theater, but it is an entertaining piece that forces you to get over the nudity.

Here.

I saw it as part of a three-show day.

Since it was at an early curtain time of 6 PM and just 90 minutes, that gave me time to catch an 8 PM curtain.

It was fine. I think I saw it more to say I saw it. The dick was interesting for the first few songs. I can't remember one song from the show.

Why hasn't there ever been a high school production?

There's only one who qualifies for the title.

I'll need a complete recast.

Set the auditions for Jan-Oct 2021.

And remember. It's "Naked BOYS Singing."

I had a friend in it and I was mortified for him. It sounded like a huge cringefest.

I Like Penis A Lotta.

Well the singing is kinda good.

R54 is from a bootleg, something which I suppose they never thought would see the light of day outside the theater. I guess those guys have come to terms with this being preserved, though they all do look good and sing well for the most part. When they are older and flabbier, they can point with some pride to how well they look in this. They're also cuter than the movie guys, which probably had a smaller casting pool for something they knew was going to be filmed.

Is the cast 100 % gay?

Is anyone in musical theater 100% straight?

The guy in the bootleg doing "Porn Star" is straight. I knew another guy who did the show (they had a lot of turnover in like 20 years of doing the show) who was straight with kids. I'd hazard a guess that it's like 80% or so gay guys with a few happily naked for pay straights in there.

They only paid the straights!?

Everyone is paid. All I guess are exhibitionistic at heart to do the show probably.

I saw an interview where one discussed "grooming". He didn't go into detail but I think they may want trimming of chest hair, but everyone should maintain and show pubic hair. Shaving or trimming armpit hair is at their discretion.

The guys in both the movie and the bootlegs have nice bushes.

Nice to see nice bushes! The shaving thing seems to be going away, especially with people stuck at home nowadays. Maybe 70s porn moustaches will come back again too.

It’s a musical revue, not a porn. You aren’t supposed to “get off” to it. Jesus

R73 Then what the hell is the point of the nudity?

How many tickets would “Boys Singing” sell?

R74 -If you saw the show or listened to the cast album, you'd know. The show is about nudity. The songs are about being naked.

R74 to be naked in glory. It’s not sexual though. Stupid.

[Quote] How many tickets would “Boys Singing” sell?

Depends on how they look on the poster.

It's supposed to be a bit racy and titillating and fun to see naked guys with (mostly) good voices and otherwise professional production values -- but the point is most of the show is done nude with uninhibited singers not afraid to show off their bodies and private parts. It's not supposed to have you jerking in your seat (like that woman did at some serious play), though I'm sure one can go home and think about some of the guys afterwards and "get off" if that's your pleasure.

I saw it in NYC about 20 years ago, and then again in Ptown with Chris Marchant the hunky violin player from Well Strung in the summer of 2010 before they formed Well Strung.

What can you say. It’s a pleasant diversion. The Ptown audience was a mix of gays and straights.

Quite a few alumni of NBS are in NY Gilbert and Sullivan Players (but with their clothes on) apparently.

I guess G&S is a natural next step career progression from Naked Boys Singing if you're trying to veer away from massage therapy and porn.

[quote] Joseph Keane who play the perky little porn star from Skokie Illinois is a stand-out.

I think his dick was too small for porn.

When I saw he show in NY ages ago, the guy who sang 'Perky Little Porn Star had a nice swinging dick and you thought 'Yeah, I can definitely see this guy doing porn'

Just thinking of those guys who were cast in "Take Me Out" who were looking forward to having us look at them naked.

R84- I saw TAKE ME OUT on Broadway in 2003. Those naked actors were SEXY. They were not super QUEENY like the actor in Naked Boys Singing. They had straight baseball player bods. There are plenty of high quality photos of the original cast of Take Me Out NAKED in the showers.

Are they hiding their little cocklets?

It's gratuitous and therefore exploitative of those guys who probably desperately want to work. It makes me sad.

"I think his dick was too small for porn."

Bottoms don't have to be hung. They just need a great ass.

Those locker room and shower scenes are rather a major part of the story in "Take Me Out". Dominic Fumusa (off-Broadway) and David Eigenberg (who took over on Broadway -- Steve from "Sex and the City), along with DL fave Daniel Sunjata were very nice eye candy indeed. Robert M. Jimenez was especially hot as one of the Latin guys.

Maybe someone will do a take on some of the classic musicals and add nude scenes -- maybe the guys in "South Pacific" could be full-frontal while singing "There Is Nothing Like A Dame". It always seemed weird, btw, that women were wearing bathing suits in "I'm Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair", but I'll leave that quandry to our dear resident lesbians.

R90, I couldn’t agree more. Nudity always makes theater a little more fun. I’d love to direct an all-nude Grease.

More nudity among the Aggies in "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" when they do the "Aggie Song".

The King can strip down naked when he's about to whip Tuptim in "King and I" (I bet Yul Brynner would have done it before he got his Tony award if they allowed it, since he posed nude)

"Luck Be A Lady" could be a strip-craps number in "Guys and Dolls" for Sky

"Merrily We Roll Along" could be staged as a reverse strip with the guys starting off naked and putting clothes on as the show goes in reverse.

That's for starters! Any you know what? There are guys who would agreed to do the staging!

[quote] What Broadway songs would you jerk off to?

Anything sung by the title character in "Oliver!"

The whole point is to get elderly desperate Broadway queens to come. This way they can pretend they're going because they want to hear the singing.

[quote] "Luck Be A Lady" could be a strip-craps number in "Guys and Dolls" for Sky

[quote] "Merrily We Roll Along" could be staged as a reverse strip with the guys starting off naked and putting clothes on as the show goes in reverse.

"Pick-a-Little Talk-a-Little" can be done with the old biddies ripping their clothes off and exposing their hoo-has!

[quote] [R90], I couldn’t agree more. Nudity always makes theater a little more fun. I’d love to direct an all-nude Grease.

It takes place at a high school, perv.

R96, and it’s played by menopausal actors. Relax.

I was working for an agency in San Francisco several years ago when they were on tour and they hired me as an escort for a gangbang with the group. I thought it sounded fine and the pay was excellent. I was the agency's go-to for these things - I could handle as many as required.

When I got there it turned out they wanted a top for them all. I told the rep they were nuts. There were too many. He said I didn't have to cum, just put it up each of them. It was part of some bonding thing they had going and they were all bottoms anyway. Once a got a look at them I could see that. The company just didn't want to pay for the six guys it should have taken.

I passed. It caused shit with my bosses and they took one of my toes for it, but no amount of little blue can make up for the creeps.

There are some straight guys who have done the show. I don't know if they don't encourage "fraternization" among cast members so they don't get excited on stage. I think "Oh! Calcutta!" used to do that years ago.

I saw Take Me Out in the early 2000s and Barbara Walters was sitting in the same row as me. She kept whispering to her lady friend during the nude scenes and was disturbing, but nobody dared shush up Babs.

It was a Wednesday matinee.

The first half of Act One of Children of Eden really should be performed nude. Likewise, the opening of Passion. The faeries in A Midsummer Night's Dream should be nude (and are often played that way).

How about an all-nude production of 1776? A new look at our founding fathers?

"Kansas City" in OKLAHOMA could be a strip for Will Parker as he describes all the naughty things in the big city, as the other cowhands whip out their cocks and jack with him. Rousing finish to the number as they all ejaculate simultaneously into the orchestra pit.

Nah -You don't want to undercut "The Farmer and the Cowman" number where the guys partner off and seduce, then fuck, each other.

"The Pajama Game" -- Sid and Babe wear tops only and enter the party bottomless -- everyone else ditches their pajama bottoms and starts dancing with the pajama tops making a maypole.

Did someone say naked boys?

Umm, we like them to at least have pubic hair, thanks, Bryan.

I guess Isaac Powell has now put in an application for a future production via his selfies.

Invite some former "Naked Boys" to the naked campground. Or maybe they have onlyfans pages by now.

[quote]Anyone see Jeff Stryker or Ryan Idol in their stage shows? Not dance clubs but actual plays, which they both did.

I saw Ryan Idol in "Making Porn" in San Diego. He was at his peak then and he was spectacular in person. Great body, handsome, tall - quite a specimen. After the play he signed autographs in the lobby and sold memorabilia and seemed friendly and warm towards everyone.

Too many uncut cocks

Back in the day. Can't believe this cast is almost 20 years ago!

[quote] You might as well jerk off to porn while listening to a Broadway show tunes album.

Shit, that’s any Wednesday night.

Follies masturbation.

I used to see maybe five or six Broadway or off-Broadway shows a year.

And every so often there's one where I look back and wonder, "what was I thinking?" Not that I hated these shows, they just weren't for me and they weren't worth the hype. I just felt embarrassed for the cast and for myself.

NAKED BOYS SINGING falls into that "what was I thinking?" category, along with CATS! and STARLIGHT EXPRESS and PERFECT CRIME. After 15 minutes, one is numb and indifferent about what's happening on stage.

Naked "Follies"? Only Young Buddy and Ben please.

Nonsense R115 - my 11 o’clock striptease brings down the house!

Literally.

They should call it Future(or current)Escorts Singing.

DL fave (sort of) David Pevsner wrote some of the songs. He was on a vidcast reunion of the original LA production, including 2 cast members recently -- no nudity there, but fun anyway.

So an old whore is writing for new whores?

Every day you go in to work, you're monetizing your brain and your body too, to be where you are getting paid, when you think about it.

Happy Naked New Year!

Would it be too much to ask for naked MEN singing???????

I agree -- would love to see a sequel with sexy foxy daddies, and not just smooth twinks like they usually cast in "Naked Boys".

The Worst Pies in London weren't made with clothed hunks. Just sayin'.

Any of the guys on onlyfans or such? Besides writer Pevsner?

R49 I danced at The Gaiety in NYC back in 1980 for one night. I quickly found out they don't hire you because you dance, but because of the size of your dick. Also, there was the bar action. I was told a bit about that but got scared and left.

R114 I saw Take Me Out or as I refer to it Get Me Out! I left at intermission. Much of it was set in the locker room shower. It seemed gratuitous. Just go a gym locker room instead. The show was pointless.

NBS is a fun show and most of the guys have at least very nice voices; some of the guys are handsome, some aren't particularly. The latest producers hire pretty much hairless twinks though. I'd rather see some daddies and some more body hair mixed in.

Has anyone used a former Naked Boy as a realtor? That's what many of them have become -- though there's a psychothepist and a few do massages.

If one of them advertised as a Naked Realtor, I'd certainly engage him.

Live performance.

It's kind of amazing how someone got that camera in, as they had ushers and procedures in place to stop the performance and leave the stage if someone was caught recording the show. Still, that's probably from over 10 years ago, and I guess those gents probably wouldn't dream that they'd have a legacy of how good they looked nude from back then. At least 2 of those guys in that clip are married to women, btw.

Boring as white bread...

They're talented, too, though I rather think they most probably envisioned there first NY gig perhaps inviting their parents to see them in something like "Oklahoma!" or "Bye Bye Birdie", not showing their actual birdies!

"their" that is

"It's kind of amazing how someone got that camera in, as they had ushers and procedures in place to stop the performance and leave the stage if someone was caught recording the show. "

Looks to me like it is an undress rehearsal, not a real performance.

That Naked Maid is really cute, as are some of the others.
