Actors who have appeared nude on stage

Diane Keaton was in the original cast of HAIR, so I'm assuming she was naked.

Back in the 90s Mark Ruffalo appeared in an off-Broadway play where he and other male cast members disrobed. I don't remember the title but they were baseball players and it was a scene that took place in a lockerroom.

Harry Potter let his magic wand dangle for all to see and be enchanted by.

Of course there's Daniel Radcliffe in Equus

Daniel Radcliff in Equus.

Bill Macy appeared in Oh Calcutta

Johnny Galecki (sp?) in LITTLE DOG LAUGHED

Matt Bomer

David Tennant went nude in an early play where he spent the whole thing unclothed. Not sure what it was - some sort of knockabout farce, I believe.

Maxwell Caulfield - in a few different really shitty gay plays. Huge dick.

The original Equus- Peter Firth, who was hung like a mule.

The thread would be better with pics, no?

Here's Tennant.

Lee Pace in Angels in America. Video:

Lee Pace. Just the pics:

Daniel Radcliffe

Really, r15? Who knew?

Has anyone said Daniel Radcliffe?

Here's Galecki from r7.

Miss Nicole Kidman in The Blue Room on Broadway. Early 90’s, I think.

Here's Radcliffe.

Jude Law was naked in something, wasn't he?

Tony Goldwyn in The Water's Edge.

George Clooney supposedly did some on stage nudity at the Celebration Theatre in West Hollywood.

From the original cast of Take Me Out: Daniel Sunjata, Dominic Fumusa, Fred Weller, Neal Huff

David Eigenberg

John Slattery in "The Lisbon Traviata" - when he was still a brunette

Kohl Sudduth

Did anybody mention Daniel Radcliffe?

(That's a joke.)

Steven Weber in Hair.

Cory Michael Smith - Breakfast at Tiffany's

The entire cast of Love! Valour! Compassion! with the exception of Nathan Lane (and Mario Cantone, who replaced him) were briefly seen naked and wet towards the end of the play when they simulated frolicking in a lake.

Bent usually has full frontal nudity in it productions, I would like to know if Andy Mientus was one of them in the production from LA a few years ago.

British actor, Ben Hardy.

Tom Hulce - replacement for Peter Firth in "Equus"

Apparently both Bradley Whitford and Bill Pullman (one was a replacement for the other), entering naked carrying a sheep in Sam Shepard's "The Curse of the Starving Class" -- don't know if photos exist though

Sam Harris was nude in that LA production of "Hair" with Steven Webber (also I think Marissa Jaret Winokur, but whatever).

I think Diane Keaton was one of the few people in "Hair" who was known to not go naked. But among some well-known people who have been nude in various productions: Ben Vereen, Joe Mantegna, Isaac from "The Love Boat" Ted Lange, Keith Carradine, among others

Anson Mount and Josh Lucas as Jesus and Judas in Terrence McNally's CORPUS CHRISTI (1999) had a brief nude scene.

The frontal nudity in Curse of the Starving Class was entirely covered (sadly!) by a carried sheep. Hot, nonetheless.....

R24 Take Me Out has has a number of cast members and a revival in 2019.

Sam Trammell and Justin Kirk at one point seemed to be vying for the most full-frontal nude scenes on NY stage.

Jack O'Connell in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

R35 The sheep didn't cover the actor I saw in a production. Guess it depends on the staging. Anyone remember seeing Bradley Whitford or Bill Pullman off-Broadway?

Does anyone know what play/musical that is in the OP link?

WEHT Sam Trammell? And for that matter, Justin Kirk?

I saw Brad Whitford and his dick was covered by the sheep he was carrying.

R36 "Take Me Out" revival has been cancelled or postponed in NY due to pandemic. Quite a few guys were looking forward to their naked debuts on Broadway. Hopefully it will be rescheduled.

Patrick Wilson in The Fully Monty?

I could think of a number of actors I'd like to see in OP's link.

I know I was so excited about that Take Me Out revival. Hoping some pics would be taken. I think it's still on for a reschedule unless that changed recently.

Anthony Perkins, later replaced by Keith Baxter in "Romantic Comedy", though from the back, not frontal, unless you visited Keith in his dressing room after the show.

R43 When I saw the Full Monty the stage went dark at the moment they ripped their pants off. The audience never really got to see anything.

The revival cast of A Delicate Balance: Rosemary Harris , George Grizzard, John Carter, Elizabeth Wilson, Elaine Stritc,h and Mary Beth Hurt.

It was spectacular, and I never expect to see its like again in my lifetime.

NIck Offerman spent the first scene of the play he did with his wife Megan Mullally totally nude and OMG I loved it.

Here's a gif of Patrick Wilson in The Full Monty. Even with the lights going down, you can see his big dick swinging.

I saw just about every one of the above mentioned productions. And, yes, Jude Law was naked and took a bath in the star studded Broadway production of Indiscretions. Saw that, too. Lee Pace's frontal nudity was better and longer in a play I saw him in at Playarights Horizons when he was first starting out. Credeaux Canvas, I think it was called. I liked it, loved him. Jake Webber naked during a lengthy monologue was a glorious thing in The Big Funk at the Public. I've seen a lot.

Logan Marshall-Green was fully nude in The Bedroom Trilogy off-Broadway. I can't find a pic.

Sorry--the Hallway Trilogy.

Please I beg of you all please! Please do NOT bring up, discuss, or post female actors who have been nude! Please!! I feel faint.

Samuel H Levine in The Inheritance

Ian McKellen did full-frontal in King Lear. I can't find a pic, but here he is from a back-stage documentary (not of that show).

Jude Law in Indiscretion - such a thick fat dong.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller took turns playing the nude creature in Frankenstein

Why how is Johnny Galecki intact? How did he escape the knife?

I'm not a theater person but I've heard Stanley Tucci has done some nude plays.

Patrick J Adams was nude years ago in a play called 9 Circles. So doing frontal nudity in Take Me Out is old hat at this point.

Chris Messina was frontal nude in Adam Rapp’s, FASTER.

[quote]WEHT Sam Trammell?

He works practically nonstop on TV/Streaming. Didn't even take a break after years of True Blood paychecks.

A then-unknown Jude Law had a nude scene on Broadway in Indiscretions. He was out the night I saw it. I can remember thinking to myself “What difference does it make which young actor is nude on stage?” Wrong.

Sam Trammell plays the father of twins with wife Martha Plimpton in Genera+ions on HBO, he looks a decade younger then he is.

Helen Lawson in The Norman Conquests (play 3, Round and Round the Garden). However, it wasn't scripted. She'd had too much to drink and, well, stumbled on stage starkers.

A female friend said that when she saw Peter Stormare in the play "The Swan" that he had the biggest dong she had ever seen.

Scott Glenn in Killer Joe

R23 I remember Naked Boys Singing playing at that theatre. An eldergay I knew at the time said he went to see the show with his male nudist group.

Hunter Foster in "Burning" along with some other guys, one who had simulated ejaculation (avoid the first row of audience was the buzz). I just saw Foster's nice butt, maybe from a different vantage point could have seen the front.

R60 He supposedly has a very big penis.

I looked up whom I saw in Jude’s place:

John Lithgow might be the only actor to win a Tony with a big nude scene in "The Changing Room". I didn't see it, but it had a whole bunch of theater people naked: George Hearn, Rex Robbins, David Masur, actor turned later director John Tillinger.

[quote]Why how is Johnny Galecki intact? How did he escape the knife?

Because of the place of his birth, and his parents were civilized and not barbarians. He is also worth $100 million although he dropped out of school after eighth grade, attending high school for only one day.

One day is barely giving it a chance.

Justin Kirk has always claimed to be straight, and occasionally to have a girl friend. He still isn't married, though.

I will tell you that I was standing near the stage door when he was in Angels in America and he cruised me heavily on the way in for that night's performance.

Just sayin'

R71, I was going to mention that. Every member of the cast goes naked and I think there was a shower onstage. I think it was fairly shocking to see that much male nudity.

[quote]Ian McKellen did full-frontal in King Lear. I can't find a pic, but here he is from a back-stage documentary (not of that show).

McKellen and Taron Egerton were on Graham Norton and Egerton told him he saw McKellen's Lear saying, "I saw a lot of you; and there was a lot to see."

Diana Rigg the play Abelard And Heloise. Where that bitch John Simon famously put her down “Diana Rigg is built like a brick mausoleum with insufficient flying buttresses”.

McKellen had quite a thick and juicy looking hog in "King Lear". I saw that, I saw "Take Me Out" with the original cast, saw Jude Law emerge from the bath in "Indiscretions", saw Lee Pace in "Angels in America". I saw a play called "Marlowe" where a sexy and talented actor called Christian Camargo as gay Elizabethan rebel and playwright Christopher Marlowe entered swinging on a rope totally nude. Sam Trammell played his love interest but I think he remained clothed.

The two plays where Maxwell Caulfield was nude were "Entertaining Mr. Sloane" and "Salonika" back in the 1980's.

Off-Broadway in 2010 I saw a gay two-character play about a Manhunt hookup that turned cathartic called "Loaded" with Kevin Spirtas ("Days of Our Lives" and "One Life to Live") and Scott Kerns. They began the play in the nude in bed.

"Party" with DL fave (?) David Pevsner in one of his public naked appearances.

Many cast members in "Naked Boys Singing" -- don't think anyone became very well-known from doing the show, though don't think it particularly hurt anyone's career. I think some guys do leave it off their resume though.

Keith Michell appeared nude opposite Diana Rigg, and he was a good-looking guy, who I would have liked to have seen nude.

The biggest dick I've ever seen--and I've seen plenty--was Willem Dafoe's when he entered naked in "The Emperor Jones" in NYC in the 90s for the Wooster Group at LaMama. You could hear the entire theater gasp at once because it was so awe-inspiring, despite the fact he is not a handsome man (nor has he ever been).

Frederik Weller was completely nude and let it all hang out in Take Me Out, big dong and low hanging massive balls.

Zach Gilford from Friday Night Lights was nude in Equus.

I am happy I saw real Jude Law's dong on stage. muahahahaha.

But that bitch actress Cynthia Nixon was utterly annoying. And she is still now.

Tom Hulce was also nude in Equus, the stage version.

r82, Weller was posted at r24. Yes, on the balls; no on having a big dick. It is not.

That link sucked. Here's Weller:

Kathleen Turner in The Graduate.

Jeremy Jordan was supposed to emerge naked from a bathtub in Bonnie and Clyde, but he balked and the staging was changed.

Stark Sands did do the nude scene when the musical previewed in Florida prior to Jeremy being cast.

Lauren Bacall in Woman of the Year when it previewed in Boston.

Helen Mirren in Antony and Cleopatra at the National. We went on a school trip so it was very exciting. We all just thought she was that bird out of Prime Suspect so it was a bit of a shock.

R89–I would have like to see Stark naked.

I saw NPH and Josh Radnor both full frontal in " The Paris Letter" in LA.

This is one of my favorites of all time. French actor Robin Causse.

Mike Doyle in The New Century.

Russell Tovey.

Stanley Tucci and Edie Falco had an extended nude scene at the beginning of Frankie and Johnny At The Claire de Lune. Tucci was a gorgeous man to behold.

Has Tovey been fully nude? I heard in Angels in America he covered his front. (Unlike Pace baring all.)

r93, ah, yes. I saw that production too. NPH was average; Radnor was small.

No pics of that, but here's Daniel Eric Gold from the Broadway production.

Peter FIrth

[quote]Sam Harris was nude in that LA production of "Hair" with Steven Webber (also I think Marissa Jaret Winokur, but whatever).

I saw that production. Seeing Marissa Jaret Winokur's jugs turned me gay.

Stark Sands from the movie "Die, Mommie, Die".

For R65, Peter Stormare.

[quote]Diane Keaton was in the original cast of HAIR, so I'm assuming she was naked.

Keaton played the pregnant girl, so she didn’t get naked. And in the original Hair, nudity was optional and left to the choice of the actor.

You could see Nathan Lane’s ass in L!V!C!

R60, R69, R97: I saw full frontal Stanley Tucci in Frankie and Johnny at the Clare de Lune, Belasco Theater, 2002. I can report that his Italian sausage is impressive flaccid. I bet it's even more appetizing when it's al dente. 😉🍆

Ryan Idol appeared nude on stage too, but well he was a pr0n performer anyway.

R101 Not sure how to take that, as we have a lot of lesbian friends on here.

Courtney Love was a stripper in Japan.

David Admi's "3C" featured a naked Jake Silbermann and his QUITE impressive dong tumbling onto the stage.

It was on display for the first minute, which was more than enough.

I saw THE CHANGING ROOM the year I moved to NYC. There was nothing sexy about it in spite of all the nudity, unlike the changing room (and shower) scenes in TAKE ME OUT. Trust me. The former had mostly all character types muddy and bloody from the rugby field, speaking in annoying and indecipherable Yorkshire accents. Lithgow was probably the most attractive if that's any gauge. I remember that 3 from the cast were featured on the cover of After Dark but they were all in minor roles, lost in the crowd. The nudity in TAKE ME OUT was truly glorious.

In Take Me Out at the Public Dominic Fumusa had a long nude scene that was great. He was the only one of the original cast to not to move to Broadway. Was it because he did not want to appear naked on Broadway where it would have garnered so much more publicity? Anyone know the story?

I laughed so hard @ OP video. Omg I’d be embarrassed to death if I had to do it

"Pier Pipers of the Lower East Side" had an actor walk in for a scene sprouting a full boner. (nice erection, too.)

[quote] The biggest dick I've ever seen--and I've seen plenty--was Willem Dafoe's

I guess you didn't see Gbenga Akinnagbe in the Flea Theater's production of FULLFILLMENT in 2015, It looked like an elephant's trunk, swinging back and forth. I can't believe nobody appears to have gotten a photo of that huge dick. It's not like it was fleeting. He stood center stage, completely naked for quite awhile.

Another glorious horsecock was Juan Castano in the Public Theater's OEDIPUS EL REY in 2017. I kept hoping we'd see it again in WHAT/IF but no such luck.

[quote] I guess you didn't see Gbenga Akinnagbe in the Flea Theater's production of FULLFILLMENT in 2015

Sorry for the typo, the show's title was FULFILLMENT, obviously.

The After Dark cover r111 mentioned

r116, Funny enough, when Gbenga Akinnagbe did full frontal on the TV show The Deuce, some claimed it was a prosthetic. Having heard about how endowed he was from people who saw Fulfillment, I was inclined to believe it was real.

More, without the claims of fakeness:

R117 Ah, on the left was the original Paul Rudd, who did a lot of theater in the 70s into the 80s. He did a "Glass Menagerie" with Maureen Stapleton and I believe also was Romeo in the Circle in the Square's "Romeo and Juliet".

"[R93], ah, yes. I saw that production too. NPH was average; Radnor was small."

The thing that impressed me the most was how beautifully groomed NPH's pubes were. Very thick, but like a sculpture's.

Maxwell Caulfield in Salonika... it starred Jessica Tandy.

Rudd was once considered the IT boy. He even worked with Meryl Streep.

John Wilkes Booth in Concealed Weapon.

Was Paul Rudd nude on stage?

Tangential story: In the late ‘90s I used to work out at Crunch in the Archives building on Christopher St. I walked into the lockeroom to interrupt Paul Rudd shirtless checking himself out in the mirror, he looked very embarrassed. Later that year he starred in a Lincoln Center Shakespeare production that was set around a giant pool and he needed to be shirtless a lot. I don’t think he went fully nude though.

Rudd went totally nude in The Changing Room. Richard Masur from One Day at a Time was also in it,.

Starting about the 21 minute mark Rudd enters and strips down to a purple thong like garment overwhelming Helen Hunt and then jumping in the pool.

R128 wrong Paul Rudd

Mike Brady in Doubles.

Mark Rylance did a play, later on British tv, where he was stark naked as Wiliam Blake called "In Lambeth".

During rehearsals for Gypsy, it was suggested that Merman expose her breasts at the end of "Rose's Turn", but Arthur Laurents thought it was unnecessary.

Austin Pendleton in Doubles. If only it had been Keir Dullea.

Sal Mineo & Don Johnson in Mineo's 1969 production of "Fortune and Men's Eyes."

I saw Bradley Whitford in Curse of the Starving Class in NY. In the performance I saw, he held the sheep high enough so all could be seen....btw, a pre-Cheers Woody Harrelson did the LA production. Did anybody see that?

Matt Ramsey in the stage production of Bigger the Better.

R137, I believe it was The Bigger the Better, the musical.

R138. You’re right. I stand corrected.

R97 I was on the side of the theatre where you could only see Falco. So disappointing

How many actors have appeared nude OFFstage?

R31 Andy did not get naked. Only Tom Berklund showed his big dick.

Dan Ambroyer showed his nice sized dick off Broadway a few years ago

There wasn't a planned 2019 revival of Take Me Out, it was supposed to have opened in April, 2020. But Broadway shut down in March for Covid. There had already been delays because the production was to have starred Jussie Smollet but he became, shall we say, unavailable. The show is now set to open this coming December.

Jussie should have been organizing and starring in the Chicago Federal Penitentiary production of “Take Me Out” in 2020.

Was Take Me Out a commercial success considering its large cast? I kind of doubt it. Why do it again?

Is Jesse Tyler Ferguson still attached to the Take Me Out revival? I have no particular desire to see him naked.

R147 Thankfully, his character stays dressed

R147 yeah he plays the manager of the team. Only the players get naked.

I once appeared naked on a Broadway stage. The stage manager told me to get off so they could start the show. Andrea Mcardle thought it was funny, but her mother was pissed. I told her to stop complaining, the dog was naked too.

R10 Max was big only in your dreams. Max is perfectly average. I used to take pilates class with him and saw him naked more times than I can count, incredible body but nothing to brag about downstairs.

R144, I read somewhere that the revival would not include the same amount of nudity as the OBP.

"The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told" had a naked Adam and Steve, played by the gorgeous Jay Goede and Alan Tudyk. Jesse Tyler Ferguson took over at one point, though I didn't see him.

I know TMO is sometimes done in colleges and regional theaters with the actors standing behind waist high dividers during the shower scenes.

^ And/or wearing towels in the locker room.

[quote]I know TMO is sometimes done in colleges and regional theaters with the actors standing behind waist high dividers during the shower scenes.

Towel dancing pussies.

Once word gets out that there is less or no nudity, ticket sales will plummet. They would be stupid to do that.

Brandon Ruckdashel in Ascension. The New York Times compared him to a young James Dean, but then he went on to a soft-porn career.

R157, Even though the play was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 2003?

Is there an actual storyline to Take Me Out or is it just athletes parading around naked in a locker room?

Player comes out.

R159 People are going for a P and it's not Pulitzer

I believe there are only 3 nude scenes.

[quot]I believe there are only 3 nude scenes.

In a four scene play, that's quite a lot.

Gbenga Akinnagbe looks a lot like the equally well-hung porn star Joss Lescaf.

Here's Tom Berklund in Bent as mentioned above (there's a video out there, but I'm too lazy to find it).

(Obviously it wasn't "Broadway's" Bent. I didn't write the headline.)

For those of you with a taste for the foreign....

I got to see Corey Stoll's big beefy ass in Plenty with Rachel Weisz but he kept his front side turned away much to my chagrin

R166, I have a bootleg of that Los Angeles production.

R2 It was BENT that he was in. I saw it, but he was not a known actor at the time. The play you mentioned was TAKE ME OUT, which he was not in.

[quote]During rehearsals for Gypsy, it was suggested that Merman expose her breasts at the end of "Rose's Turn", but Arthur Laurents thought it was unnecessary.

That was when Helen Lawson was still in the show before Ethel replaced her out of town and refused to do it. And it wasn't at the end. It was when Rose sang "Hold your hats and hallelujah, Mama's gonna show 'em to ya!" She dropped her top and strutted the runway jiggling her sagging breasts. Then she faced the audience and shouted "How ya like THEM eggrolls, MISTER Goldstone!"

Tim Hopper in the 90s revival of Present Laughter with Frank Langella. Didn't do much for his career as I don't think he ever appeared on Broadway again.

I went to see The Changing Room in an off off Broadway production. It was clear that every member of the cast had never been naked in a locker room in his life.

Barry Tubb in " Sweet Sue," a play with MTM and Lynn Redgrave.

Paul Nolan in " Slave Play," and in younger years at Stratford, "West Side Story" and " The Grapes of Wrath."

r168 DL fave Steve Grand is on that page, and he's the only one who doesn't show the goods.

I've seen many nude scenes in plays in "the legitimate theater" in NYC, but the highlights are:

'Take Me Out,' Public Theatre and on Broadway,

Maxwell Caulfield's enchanting prone butt in 'Salonika,'

John Wesley Shipp in the Armory's multiple-scened whodunit 'Tamara,' - I'd been clued in by a friend who noted that moving to an upstairs set at the opening of Act II revealed a fully dripping wet nude Shipp emerging from a bathtub; just a glimpse of cock,and a generous viewing of his amazing ass.

But the most entertaining moment was Alec Baldwin's repeated strips to silk boxer shorts in Circle Rep's "Prelude to a Kiss." The moment he flops down to lay on a bed (or chair?) his package visibly bounced!

[quote]Tim Hopper in the 90s revival of Present Laughter with Frank Langella.

What would require someone to be nude in Present Laughter? Onstage nudity wasn't Coward's style.

[quote] What would require someone to be nude in Present Laughter?

The employment of would-be provocateur Scott Elliot to direct it, that’s what.

Carol Channing in Hello Dolly. But you had to look really quick.

Fortunately it was Tim Hopper who was nude in that production and not Nathan Lane in the previous production in the same role. The director had Hopper, who played a overzealous fan/writer, in a trenchcoat which he removed at one point, revealing himself to be totally naked. It's not in the script -- it's something the director put in. It kind of worked, for a bit of shock value. Langella was pretty great as the lead, much better than Kevin Kline.

Tom Berklund

Tom Berklund

Tom Berklund

And finally, hairy Tom Berklund...with chest hair, treasure trail, all shaved smooth.

I never knew of Tom Berklund before this thread. Now I don't think I'll ever forget him..

Tom Berklund in spoof workout video: Click and scroll down til you come to the YouTube video.

But where has Tom Berklund trod the boards? Has he ever tested his mettle in a Shakespearean production?

[quote] I have a bootleg of that Los Angeles production.

Why would you ever want to see that POS production more than once?

R190, For the first 10 minutes.

The Present Laughter nude scene though gratuitous and came out of nowhere and you were like what?! then paid off in a subsequent very big laugh with another dressed actress. Langella's reactions were very funny. It's as if you can keep it in because it was a good piece of business.

Tim Hopper was at the door as I was leaving holding a basket for AIDS contributions. The woman in front of me as we were leaving said to him you've got a very cute butt. He turned crimson immediately which I thought was pretty funny. As if you can see a man naked on stage but it's impolite to mention it.

Scott Campbell in Pericles at the Public. Pericles comes out of the ocean nude. My friend turned to me and said that ocean must have been very cold. He could have used some fluffing but he was average and it was nothing to be ashamed of. Of course he was quite beautiful nude.

Do you mean Campbell Scott, R193?

R194, He ran nude INTO the ocean in "Longtime Companion".

Is that Jon Hamm swinging his meat in OP's video?

Can we have a thread about actors who took it up the bum on stage?

R194 Sorry yes. I always immediately think of Scott as a first name.

Sir, R198, I am greatly offended!

As am I R198!

George C. (for Campbell) Scott.

R197 There have been several DL threads on the Hustlaball circuit in places like Las Vegas, Berlin, San Francisco, etc.

R202 The LEGITIMATE stage darling, only the LEGITIMATE stage!

How did Campbell come out so much better looking than his father? Or maybe George got his nose smashed in during a drunken brawl.

Colleen Dewhurst was always a very handsome woman, he obviously took after her.

R198 Campbell Scott is hot. You're pretty lucky to have seen that.

Matt Bomer. yumm.

There was a cute guy I used to work with at a bookstore in Santa Monica who invited several co-workers, including myself, to see a play he was in. I didn't go for whatever reason, but completely regret it. Turns out, according to those who went, he walked out on stage completely nude in one scene and had a big dick.

I had a chance to see a guy I was interested in nude on stage. It turned out to be a huge turn-off, although he had a very nice body. The character he was playing was so abrasive I didn't care by that the time he stripped off. And he turned out to be closer to that character in real life than not.

Believe it or not I saw Jude Law in the play Indiscretions and when he got up nude from a bathtub and a murmur filled the house there was a woman's head in front of me and I couldn't see him. Off course I could have slightly shifted my head and looked but Law did so little for me I couldn't be bothered. Now Roger Rees's bare feet had me fascinated. Why hadn't he been in the bathtub?

Many years ago, I saw a play called THE ELOCUTION OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, which opened with corpulent middle-aged actor Gordon Chater completely naked, I always thought that was incredibly brave of him.

In 2010, the York Theater produced a show called YANK! a musical about a gay relationship between two American servicemen during World War II. I love the music of that era so I couldn't wait to see it and was thrilled when hunky Ivan Hernandez got naked during a barracks scene in which, if I recall correctly, he came out of the shower, dropped the towel and got dressed.

I enjoyed the show so much that I went back to see it again, but this time, Ivan dropped the towel and got dressed without facing the audience. Though the rear view was still quite lovely, I was somewhat puzzled, so when the director was being interviewed on the Frank DeCaro radio show shortly thereafter, I emailed a question asking why the change in staging. Apparently, Hernandez was, shall we say, taking liberties with the staging the first time I saw it, and one can presume that he was told to face the other way during the scene from then on.

R210, Didn't Indiscretions star Kathleen Turner?

Simon Callow entered starkers when he was in "The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B" in London years ago. He was very funny and quite cute for a non-skinny twink body (which seems to be the DL ideal). Nice to actually see a more regular kind of guy totally nude on stage. Of course, he's on view as Mr. Beebe in the classic film "A Room with A View". Billy Connolly took over for him afterwards. There's a video of Campbell baring all running around Piccadilly Circus on some British Comic Relief special. Very cute and very naked. Apparently Malcolm McDowell was going to do he role on Broadway, but it closed out of town in Boston I believe. Anyone see it --- and him?

Telenovela actor, Joaquin Ferreira, semi-hard and flopping around on stage in "23 Centimeters."

Yeah, that looks like it could grow to 9+ inches .. lol.

^^^ And you can see more from that production here ....

Has anyone mentioned Daniel Radcliffe?

IIRC, the first commercial Broadway show to have full frontal male nudity was a late 1960s comedy called You Know I Can't Hear You You When the Water's Running. It was an evening of four one act plays with a common theme but in one of them there is a wife talking to her offstage husband while he is brushing his teeth. He finally comes out of the bathroom totally starkers and facing the audience while still brushing his teeth, saying you know I can't hear you, etc.

The evening got good reviews and had a long run. The nudity has always been assumed to have been a successful publicity stunt and in most later productions, the husband comes out of the bathroom in his boxers

r218 Wasn't that Martin Balsam?

Did Martin Balsam actually do that staging? I remember reading the plays, or certainly that particular 1 act years ago. It's about producer and writer writing a nude scene where someone is supposed to come in nude at one point and say the titular "You Know I Can't Hear You When the Water's Running" to be all current with the then new openess and nudity on Broadway. Balsam's character shows up as a desperate actor willing to do anything, but I seem to recall he may have flashed the other actors out of sight of the audience. But I just read the play. Maybe someone here actually saw the staging.

[quote] Intrepid theatergoer

Thank you for your service, R212.

R219, George Clooney's former father-in-law.

French actor, Robin Causse, in a production of "Hamlet."

I concur.

German actor, Aleksandar Radenlovic, in "Kabale und Liebe" (Intrigue and Love).

^^^ btw - he's a regular on the German television series, crime drama, "Letzte Spur Berlin."

Harry Hamlin did Equus

This thread is useless without his nipples R226

R227, Double Stuffed Oreos

Alan Rachins of "L.A. Law" and"Dharma and Greg" was also in the original cast of "Oh! Calcutta!" and though he was wearing a toup back then, looked like Louis Jourdan with it. Gorgeous and the only hairy guy in the cast.

Rachins was on the Arsenio Hall show and discussed it. He said his dad came and told him "They might call it a hit, but I'd spell it with an s".

A shame that his dad basically shamed him. He was hot-- apparently during the filming of "L.A. Law" one time he brought in his wig and put it on, and got a completely different vibe from the cast because it made him look younger and ultra-hot still.

The link at R95 is quite tiny, so here's a better look at Mike Doyle.

Wasn't Mike Doyle dating Andrew Rannells? And isn't he dating some professional gay now?

Not nude, but TCM is showing "The Spain Main" tonight (and available presumably on its app) which has Paul Henreid and his beautiful hairy chest in color on display, one of the few hairy chests not forced to be shaved for the camera during Hollywood's Golden Age. Talkin' about a "Now, Voyager!" Yum at about 6' 3" too.

Yes, thanks!

R233 Doyle and Rannells were together about six years. The DL thread shows it came to an end in ca. 2017. Don't know about MD's current status.

R215/R216 now that is a beautiful man.

Several guys who have performed with NY GIlbert & Sullivan Players in recent years have done a stint in "Naked Boys Singing". Some have it on their bio/resume, others don't.

I recall Jonny Orsini was naked in THE NANCE, but the angle my partner and I were at the night we saw it meant we saw ass, not cock. But friends said it was big and hairy. Beautiful kid and a lovely performance.

The only guy I desperately would have loved to see in NAKED BOYS SINGING was Juan Esteban Guerrero, who was a bartender at Boxers in Hells Kitchen, too, I think. He is just the most beautiful man I've ever seen.

And I did see PARTY in Los Angeles in the early 90s, and got to see Vince Gatton naked, which gave me masturbatory material for, well, about 30 years or so?

Cliff Gorman in Lenny.

Robert Gomes in Two Boys...

[quote]The two plays where Maxwell Caulfield was nude were "Entertaining Mr. Sloane" and "Salonika" back in the 1980's.

And later, I believe, he was nude again Off-Broadway in MY NIGHT WITH REG.

P.S. I don't have time right now to find the time stamp, but somewhere in Act II of the Lincoln Center TWELFTH NIGHT video that's linked to above, there is semi-nudity from one of the most beautiful actors I've ever seen on stage (or screen), a guy named Rick Stear. He plays Sebastian, Helen Hunt's twin. He really was gorgeous and a good actor, As far as I can tell, he's still with us, but his last credits per imdb were in 2007. Not sure what happened to him.

The thread is pretty hot. There's something brave and vulnerable about an actor being fully nude on stage with his dick hanging out before a live audience.

The video of The Nance cuts out Orsini's nudity by shooting him from the waist up.

By the way, for those of you who haven't noticed, Jonny Orsini has changed his professional name to Jon Orsini. On the one hand, I don't think it's a bad change, but on the other hand, if you're going to do something like that, you should ideally do it BEFORE you make a splash in a high profile project.

R245, Katie Couric was Katherine Couric as an NBC reporter.

She became Katie Couric when she got the TODAY Show co-hosting job.

I remember reading that Richard Kline from "Three's Company" did a nude scene fairly early in his career at Lincoln Center that he recounted on some tv talk show where he had to emerge naked from some water at one point with its special kind of implications. Always thought he was kind of cute and probably nicely hairy.

James Farrentino also supposedly had a full-frontal in a Lincoln Center production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" as Stanley.

Catherine Middleton became The Duchess of Cambridge and the tabloids still call her Kate, which no one ever did.

I'd forgotten about the James Farrentino. I was on the side where you could only see his butt though I'm not sure how much you could see if you were on the other side it was so quick and dark. You saw Stella's breasts quite clearly. Kind of pointless simply because they weren't very attractive.

Peter Evans was nude in Streamers but you only saw his back unfortunately. It was very beautiful though with his alabaster skin and his Renaissance sculpted form. A friend saw it on the extreme side and could see quite a bit of him and was impressed.

Jon Orsini was the film The Assistant which came out a year or so ago. Small role. It's too bad the distribution company didn't know what was coming down the pike with Rudin, because the film's plot is very much about that in a non-specific way, and they could have gotten a lot of heat on it if it had come out a year later.

I don't remember any of the actors names, but there was some spectacular nudity in Mark Taper Forum's production of "Blade to the Heat". An onstage shower and some simulated sex made for a great evening. I think they even had a boxing ring descending from the ceiling.

R252 I use to get Mark Taper forum tickets occasionally but somehow missed this one. I would have liked to have seen it. I found this review online.

R253, it was a huge hit and sellout, especially when the content became known. It was said Madonna wanted to bring it to the screen and that obviously didn't happen but she saw all that uncut Latin cock and went crazy.

R253, Wayne Brady is listed among the cast. Was he working in 1996?

R255, it was about Latino boxers so I seriously doubt it was THE Wayne Brady.

"[R255], it was about Latino boxers so I seriously doubt it was THE Wayne Brady."

Maybe the producer was " woke."

According to Time Out: "Will Dagger is full-frontally nude in the key scene."

R249 I imagine his ass being quite hairy.

R256, From Wayne Brady's IMDB page . . .

Brady moved to Las Vegas and then to Los Angeles in 1996, where he began working in theater and television. He performed at the prestigious Mark Taper Forum in its production of "Blade to the Heat".

Thanks, R260. Another know-it-all humbled :-)

Wayne Brady in "Blade to the Heat."

Those are two of the tiniest nipples I've ever seen.

Fred Weller and Shane Jacobsen had the lowest hanging balls I've ever seen on an actor on stage.

R260, aha, interesting. Only a few guys in the play got naked and I hope I would have remembered Wayne. He was probably super cute at that age.

Here is Wayne in the show. I'm sure the boxer got naked several times.

r266 Seriously?

Andrew McCarthy in Boys of Winter

That had quite a cast - Wesley Snipes, Ving Rhames, D.W. Moffett, Matt Dillon, Rob Morrow (as McCarthy's understudy), but a one-week flop!

Deservedly so, r269. Matt Dillion was flayed alive (offstage, though we heard his screams), and McCarthy showered nude. The water he bathed in turned to blood.

"Take Me Out" is coming back when theater comes back to NY! Lots of penises in that one.

But will anyone have the stunning beauty of Fred Weller and Kohl Sudduth's low hanging ball sacs?

"You could see Nathan Lane’s ass in L!V!C!"

But why would you want to do that?

What was that play about the gay boys at Harvard in the 1930s that was at Classic Stage? With Nick Westrate? There was a gratuitous frontal nude shower scene from an incredibly hot, fit, hung, Latin (or Italian) guy. Everyone gasped. The show was a mess, though, I thought, though it got great reviews.

I love that moment in the theater when the audience gasps upon seeing a penis.

Years ago, I saw a production of "The Birds" at the Stratford Festival in Canada. The audience was told that there would be nudity in the show, but no one could have anticipated what it really was. It was a large cast with plenty of young men in the Greek Chorus. At a certain point of the play, the entire male chorus came out totally naked. It was a small arena stage, so everyone could be plainly seen. I was in the first row, so I sat there, erecting in the middle of Aristophanes. I truly believe that the director was a perv who cast the hottest young men and then had them prance around naked for about seven minutes. There were a few who really attracted me, so I spent the entire time staring at their dicks bouncing around and their tight little asses. I couldn't tell you anything about the play, but I really enjoyed it.

[quote]R132 During rehearsals for Gypsy, it was suggested that Merman expose her breasts at the end of "Rose's Turn", but Arthur Laurents thought it was unnecessary.

Lucy was going to do the same in MAME.

But, you know...

Sally Kirkland (who else) is usually sited as the first actress to give a nude theater performance in NYC, in SWEET EROS (1968)

HAIR had opened months earlier, but that contained just one nude number. Kirkland did a whole 1-act play starkers.

Helen Lawson too, r277. In her case, it was the fumes from Helenesque that made her woozy and, well, she just fell out of her bra.

Does Puppetry of the Penis count? I saw that. Very strange experience.

"Puppetry of the Penis" is bizarre. What appears to be a cute gimmick turns out to be embarrassing that you're even sitting there watching it.

R136 I saw the 2019 production of Curse of The Starving Class at the Signature Theater in NY. I'm a big fan of Sam Shepard plays, but had forgotten that there is a nude scene where Gilles Geary who plays son Wesley comes out nude carrying a live lamb (the photo shows him clothed). Photos of Gilles don't do him justice he's incandescent in person and has a lovely body. Sam Shepard initially write the play with the scene partially dressed but decided to make the son totally nude in early iterations of the scene.

"Curse of the Starving Class" also includes a scene with the older brother pissing on his little sister's 4H paper project on the floor. Various productions have chosen him pissing upstage, back turned, with a hidden small water bottle, or, as with a college production I saw, the actor whipping out his dick and pissing facing front. I met the (cute) actor later and asked how he could piss on cue. "I had a beer before curtain every night!" Yes, we later had sex.

Ah, the theatre arts!

(link is a reference; not the production I saw.)

[quote]I love that moment in the theater when the audience gasps upon seeing a penis.

That's my kind of coup de theatre!

R283 I’d be very disappointed if watersports weren’t included in the tumble in the hay.

The luscious meatiness of dat azz. Why isn't he a bigger star?

[quote]I couldn't tell you anything about the play, but I really enjoyed it.

Often the case when the costumes are on, too.

David Eigenberg (Steve on "Sex and the City') was naked in both "Six Degrees of Separation" and "Take Me Out" on Broadwy.

I saw him both shows R288 hot as fuck.

Plenty of guys in productions of "The Full Monty" for a few seconds, and "Naked Boys Singing", for almost the entire show.

David Burtka in "The Play About the Baby" (pre being with NPH)

Venessa Redgrave "Orpheus Descending"

Toni Collette "The Wild Party" (really only topless)

Jonathan Groff's butt in "Spring Awakening"

R291 Wait, don’t you mean the actor in Orpheus Descending? I saw that and recall him being dragged off stage, hands tied, maybe nude. He was the one in that Sleeping With the Enemy movie who courts Julia Robert’s in her new life.

R115 is so right. Gbenga Akinnagbe in the Flea Theater's production of FULFILLMENT in 2015 was stunning. Huge, huge cock. And it was out for a long while. And Juan Castano in the Public Theater's OEDIPUS EL REY was also truly breathtaking. Both of these shows were in small OB houses, so everyone was so close. Castano was just a few feet away, and his cock was at my eye level.

Those are the two most impressive ones I've seen on stage. I did see porn star Rex Chandler in MAKING PORN in the WV, and he of course is impressive when he takes his clothes off. David Burtka displayed a nice piece in the Albee play, and Lee Pace was so beautiful and sexy in the CREDEAUX CANVAS at PH.

Other notables: Daniel Craig in ANGELS IN AMERICA at the National, everyone in TAKE ME OUT, and David Anzuelo who had to have a full erection in INTIMACY. And did. (And it was allowed by Equity.)

But the most exciting nudity and sex I've ever seen on stage? A production of OUR LADY OF THE FLOWERS in Melbourne set in an actual prison. Those men. Those cocks. Have never seen anything that comes close to that.

I had a play Off-Broadway that had lots of male frontal nudity and a beautiful actor doing it. No one's mentioned it yet, or him, which means all you bitches missed out when you missed my show!

R288 and R289 - David Eigenberg really did have an amazing body when appearing on "Sex and the City," I wish I had seen him naked on stage or (anywhere else).

Completely unrelated, how does he continue to work on that God-awful "Chicago Fire" program? Jesus that show is terrible and his character is insufferable. What does Dick Wolf have that keeps David in the cast? Can the pay be that good?

Aaaand, we're back. A revival of LILIES, which features male nudity, has started performances. Better hurry, closes June 6. I'm still undecided about the wisdom of sitting in a cramped Off-Broadway theater, but it appears they're social-distancing, FWIW.

[quote]Completely unrelated, how does he (David Eisenberg) continue to work on that God-awful "Chicago Fire" program? Jesus that show is terrible and his character is insufferable. What does Dick Wolf have that keeps David in the cast? Can the pay be that good?

I'm guessing it's the pay.

I actually don't mind Dick Wolf's other two Chicago shows. Nick Gehlfuss in Med and Patrick Flueger in P.D. make the shows interesting enough visually, and I enjoy both of their characters' struggles. Chicago Fire doesn't really have anyone I like a lot, and I can't stand looking at the fire parts.

[quote]who courts Julia Robert’s

Oh, dear.

[quote]I had a play Off-Broadway that had lots of male frontal nudity and a beautiful actor doing it. No one's mentioned it yet, or him, which means all you bitches missed out when you missed my show!

So, you won't name the play because you fear that would give away your own identity? If that's the case, you could have named the play but not indicated that you were involved with it.

In a related issue, what NY actor hasn't been inside Andrew Rannells?

R299, Harvey Fierstein

There was also that "Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side" where one of the guys enters with a very large erection, as least in the original. Did the revival feature that stage direction/tradition?

R301 smaller but still hard.

[quote]Completely unrelated, how does he (David Eisenberg)

EIGENBERG.

I saw a play where this beautiful actor woke up naked on stage as the lights came up, his ass to us, rolled over, and had a condom that he pulled off his half-stiff prick, then he got to his feet and peed in front of the audience. Amazing. Can't remember the play, had a strange one-word title.

I keep thinking it was Afterglow but it wasn't. Something like that.

Afterclap.

All y'all posting like you've never seen a wiener before.

"All y'all"

Thanks, Jethro.

Zoe Kazan and her full bush in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

Tucci's cock (cut) was lovely but his ass was breathtaking. Two Ivory Orbs.

^^Disappointed to read Tucci is mutilated. I always thought he'd be intact.

I love a cut dick. Just like I love an unuct dick.

I was nude in our 3rd grade production of the littlest tree but it was because I had to pee and could not leave the stage. The littlest tree, peed.

I saw Demi Moore's puss in a forgettable off-Broadway thing on 7th Ave South. Play was good, the puss was forgettable.

r314 You had to be nude to pee?

John Slattery in THE LISBON TRAVIATA

Not nude on stage, but I did see Frank Wood's cut cock as he peed in the urinal at some downtown theatre. He later went on to win a Tony.

Was Frank Wood handsome 40 years ago?

I asked back a ways, but didn’t get any answer I think. At the end of Orpheus Descending isn’t Kevin Anderson dragged away in the nude with his hands bound? Isn’t implied that they’re going to castrate him or cut off his dick?

I saw The Paris Letter. Neil Patrick Harris had a blond bush and a long-ish peen.

A long list of guys from "Naked Boys Singing" and "Party", many of whom now sing mainly Gilbert & Sullivan (though never nude, alas) or sell real estate.

David Pevsner was nude in Party.

Pvesner has not worn clothes in 40 years.

Well, there's less money in it.

[quote] I saw The Paris Letter. Neil Patrick Harris had a blond bush and a long-ish peen.

A friend of mine went to see it and said NPH started to get hard during that scene. Said it was awkward as he nearly flubbed his lines.

Alex Hurt was delicious looking in "Dada Woof Papa Hot" at the Newhouse. Nice, perfect dick.

R326 I wonder if actors ever worry about that happening.

[quote][R326] I wonder if actors ever worry about that happening.

Oh hell yes.

Had a friend who was nude onstage for a grad school show, and said he was thinking entirely about baseball while on stage.

I wouldn’t mind seeing some erections on stage.

Well, "Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side" had a guy enter with a big boner, and David Anzuelo had Equity's permission to play with himself and show a boner in "Intimacy" when that show was off-Broadway.

I saw the Harry Hamline version of Equus.

Do tell us about Harry back then!

[quote] how does he continue to work on that God-awful "Chicago Fire" program? Jesus that show is terrible and his character is insufferable. What does Dick Wolf have that keeps David in the cast?

The rarity of a job not in LA

A run in one of those shows pays for insurance etc for a long, LONG time.

R329 For some of us that would makes us hard.

Yes, R319. I also think he flashed cock and ass but it was so long ago I don't recall in what.

[quote]David Anzuelo had Equity's permission to play with himself and show a boner in "Intimacy" when that show was off-Broadway.

Yes, and that will be on his tombstone as his only significant accomplishment.

Robert Gomes was nude in Two Boys in a Bed on a Cold Winter's Night.

Anybody see Jerker from many years ago? Guys were nice looking.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but I'm pretty sure Adam Driver was briefly nude in his off-Broadway debut role in SLIPPING at the Rattlestick Theater in 2009. Anyone remember more clearly than me?

I don’t remember, does Louis drop trou when getting fucked in the Rambles, because Driver might have flashed then too?

Frank Wood has been around for 20 years, not 40, R319.

Did any of the notable huge hung Broadway actors appear on stage nude?

Howard McGillin? Roger Bart? Who was that director/actor who's enormous?

R331 Wait, doesn’t someone from the Fluffers’ Union have to do that?

[quote] Well, "Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side" had a guy enter with a big boner

I'm available! Any time! Anywhere! In a parking lot of a Duane Reade in Albany? I'll be right there!

Wasn't Michael Cerveris nude at the end of a play about a doctor a few years ago? I don't know if he was full-frontal though.

IIRC, the dude from "Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side" talked about a private space they reserved for him offstage, lube and (straight) porn at hand, to prepare for his entrance. Old trick from the Gaiety days.

Daniel Reichard was the most well hung of the original Jersey Boys.

Judith Light was brillaint and went full frontal in "W:t" Off-Broadway and on tour as a cancer patient. SPOILER....as she dies, she gets out of bed and takes off her hospital gown as the light grow brighter and brighter. Grant Show played her doctor.

Grant Show has a beautiful curved cock.

Prove it.

Peter Gallagher in "Hair"

Yes, Cerveris was naked at the end of "The Vibrator Play" by Sarah Ruhl. Small, hairy cock.

And I forgot about Ben Whishaw, who was nude in "The Pride" at the Lucille Lortel. Huge, pendulous dong on that boy. Those skinny boys, I swear.

[quote]Wasn't Michael Cerveris nude at the end of a play about a doctor a few years ago? I don't know if he was full-frontal though.

It was In The Next Room, Or The Vibrator Play. Cerveris was nude, r345. Despite what r352 said, Cerveris wasn't "small". Hairy, unquestionably, but not "small". If he is a grower, it would have been respectable. I believe that his character gave Laura Benanti's character an orgasm.

I was there for all 91 performances.

Cerveris appeared small the night I saw it, but then, I was in the mezzanine. Sorry to offend you so, R353. And I'm sorry you had a bad experience on the show, I quite liked the play!

Aw, r354, you're so sweet. I was joking. My experience was grand. I would have been happier had the show run longer.

Both Cerveris and Benanti were darlings.

R352 Was Whishaw aroused? Because he looks pretty average in the 2005 film "Stoned."

R345, He bared his ass in Passion.

R356 All celebrities have two peni, the real one and the one the fantasy queens see which was '6' soft.

BRUNO from Below Deck....

Frank Wood played the William Holden role in a Wooster Group workshop production of Born Yesterday in which Willem Dafoe played the Broderick Crawford role and at one point, in true Wooster Group fashion, they pulled out their dicks to prove who had the bigger dick, the intellectual or the gangster. Dafoe won. I think that moment prevented it from being produced because the Garson Kanin estate pulled the rights.

Frank "Wood." I think he was putting his wood into Edie Falco at the time.

The blond guy in Stoned seems quite sizeable.

Had Kanin been alive he would have written it into the play and ordered all future productions to include it.

Cerveris, back before he started shaving his body hair, was a hot, hung, hairy handful in "Total Eclipse" at the Westside Arts Center. He replaced a shy-dicked Peter Gallagher.

Hot, hung and hairy?

*pinches nipples* Say that again.....

R363, And he would have conducted the auditions personally.

[quote]And he would have conducted the auditions personally.

Is that so wrong?

I remember reading in one of the, I think, Lehman Engel (Broadway conductor) books on musical theater, someone once made mistake of singing in an audition in front of Joshua Logan, a song called "Have You Met Miss Logan" and apparently Josh Logan got apoplectic and screamed at the auditionee, who meant no personal comment on his auditioner.

^^ You are conflating the songs "Have You Met Miss Jones" and "I'm in Love with Miss Logan."

R368, You are conflating the songs "Have You Met Miss Jones" and "I'm in Love with Miss Logan."

"Have You Met Miss Jones" was Al's and my song.

Then it was the latter song which was used in that anecdote about the audition.

Don't you mean "Miss Logan Regrets She's Unable to Lunch Today?"

Miss Otis Regrets was sung as an audition piece in front of Otis Redding and he went ballistic on the singer.

Whishaw wasn't aroused on stage that I could tell. He has a huge bush in that clip from "Stoned" so it could be he trimmed for stage to make it look bigger.

Agree the blonde in the clip is very nicely hung. Love seeing a cock like that.

I once heard Peter Gallagher yawling at someone about Total Eclipse. "All Tillinger wanted was to see my cock"!

R356 MY EYES!!!!

This is sad. Going left to right (except numbers 3 & 5), all micro dicks. Still entertaining though!

As reminded in another threat.

Tom Everett Scott on Broadway, the Little Dog laughed.

R379, and -- far more impressively -- Johnny Galecki!

Yes R380 Galecki is bringing the appropriate amount of meat to the sausage party!

Jeremy Jordan appeared in a production of The Little Dog Laughed in Hartford, CT in 2008 in the Johnny Galecki role.

R382, yes. Sorry, I somehow forgot to mention that!!!!!!

R383, But, did Jeremy perform the scene nude as Johnny did on Broadway?

Jeremy refused to do the naked bathtub scene in Bonnie and Clyde that Stark Sands had done in previews in Florida.

Jeremy Jordan is so cute. If he did it actually nude I wish there were photos out there.

R384, no. Staged so you could only see his ass. Little Jeremy did not show up in Hartford.

blah blah blah DANIEL RADCLIFFE blah blah blah

Just you wait.

r382, Chad Allen was in that too. Unfortunately, I had my eyes on Chad for the nude scene (it must have been cold on stage) and didn't see Jeremy.

R389, I saw Little Dog Laughed in Hartford too. I don't remember seeing Jeremy or Chad's dick, but do remember they were nude.

Here's what I do remember... Chad Allen had hideous tattoos.

I looked up Chad Allen. Handsome. Sorry to hear about the tattoos.

Chad (Allen) Lazarri appears shirtless on his IG now and again, and he only appears to have one, relatively modest tattoo on his upper left arm. Nothing on his chest or legs. I believe I've seen one on his lower back.

Well that's pretty modest. He looks very sexy there. OK so where are the nudes from his stage appearance?

Never herd of him but thought of this thread when I saw it online.

Weren’t some of the horses in War Horse naked and well hung?

R395, what version was this?

[quote] Never herd of him

Oh. Deer?

[quote]I saw the Harry Hamline version of Equus.

R332, did you see Harry Hamlin's cock?

R398, Not as big as Aaron Phypers.

R399 Denise Richards is not lying. You can see Aaron Phypers' huge trouser snake through his clothes! She's lucky!

How were Harry Hamlin's pubes and other body hair?

He looka like a man.

Daniel Sunjata, Dominic Fumusa, Kohl Sudduth, Fred Weller, Neil Huff, David Eigenberg, Robert Jimenez.......WTF, did Joe Mantello audition them all in the nude?? So much perfection!

One would think that this topic would be exhausted at some point with every production accounted for and cataloged with multiple viewpoint pictures.

[quote]WTF, did Joe Mantello audition them all in the nude?? So much perfection!

Isn't there an Equity rule you have to cast sight unseen and can't have the actor disrobe until hired and in rehearsals?

No, Equity has initial casting either monologues or reading from script, clothed. In callbacks, people auditioning must be told they will be required to disrobe, but a member of Equity in some monitoring position to make sure rules are followed (no hanky panky, etc.) and at least one person with casting authority for show must be in room.

Or singing a song at musical auditions, clothed for stuff like "Naked Boys Singing". Callbacks can be nude if they are aware there's nudity in show, and rules like above are followed.

Imagine the humiliation of not passing the nude audition?

I've read "Take Me Out" is in the works as a movie. Which Hollywood stars would be willing to go full-frontal for the lengthy shower scenes, excluding the actors who've already gone full-on in a movie or tv show?

I'd like to be working on that production.

r406, are you saying that Equity actually allows directors to request actors audition in the nude in a call-back (2nd audition) situation?

I think not.

[quote]I've read "Take Me Out" is in the works as a movie. Which Hollywood stars would be willing to go full-frontal for the lengthy shower scenes, excluding the actors who've already gone full-on in a movie or tv show?

Boy do you live in a fantasy world.

I saw this in Florida and experienced for the first time male frontal nudity, and to this day recall the beautiful dicks of Haskell King and Sebastian LaCause, both of whom were frequently full frontal later in other NYC productions, but Matthew Montelongo possessed by far the greatest cock of any Take Me Out actor.

R410, I'm not R406 but technically yes, Equity will allow that. It's done with a lot of provisions.

[quote](3) Nudity at Auditions (Principal and/or Chorus Auditions) shall not be permitted except with the express written permission of Actors' Equity and shall be subject to the following guidelines:

[quote](a) Actor shall not disrobe, in whole or in part, until after the Actor has been auditioned as a Principal Actor or Chorus Singer and/or Chorus Dancer; and,

[quote](b) A Stage Manager or an official Equity representative must be present; and,

[quote](c) The direct professional and artistic capacity of all persons present must be attested to by the Producer in writing to Equity at the time the written permission is requested (i.e., Producer, Director, Choreographer).

See the catch is, Equity has to agree to allow it.

On the other hand, SAG/AFTRA for film/tv etc.

[quote]A performer may not be fully nude or perform simulated sex acts in any audition. If nudity is required for a role, it is permissible for a producer to request to view a performer’s partially exposed body during the audition process in a “modesty garment audition”

And (as a summary) beyond that, only essential casting people may see it, you can always bring a friend or anyone else you want (pretty much) with you to make you feel more comfortable, you can only photograph it with an actual camera if the person gives permission (Etc.) and it has to be the FINAL audition.

All of this goes out the window if the role is actually just being naked (like a body double.)

[quote]I've read "Take Me Out" is in the works as a movie.

It's been "in the works" for about 18-ish years and nothing has come of it. At one point Ben Affleck was trying to get the rights. If the play is a hit this go-round then it's more likely to happen thanks to streaming services, BUT as for frontal nudity by the actors -- they'd do it -- with prosthetics or something else. I seriously doubt any actor big enough to book it for a film would agree to showing their junk unless everyone is played by Chris Messina at which point he'd probably insist on it.

Interesting, r413!

Thank you.

It's hard to avoid the full frontal on stage. Even if they raise a wall to waist height the balcony could probably still see. The movie won't have to show anything.

David Pevsner would volunteer as well.

A few stage actors who work did the movie version of "Naked Boys Singing". One danced with Madonna and at least one still did stage work in NY and regionals after the film came out.

R415 There might be that kind of editing that kept folks from seeing Mandy Patinkin's junk in 'Yentl". Did John Shea (WEHT?) go full-frontal in the Tovah Feldshuh Broadway production as "Avigdor, Wait!"?

Colin Morgan ("Merlin") had a full frontal in "A Prayer For My Daughter" at the Young Vic Theatre (UK) in 2008.

There aren't any full frontal photos, but the guys at FM Forums who saw it said he has a good-sized uncut cock.

John Shea, who was GORGEOUS when young, did go full-frontal briefly in YENTL onstage. WEHT?

As theater is gearing up to reopen, what plays are being planned that will feature nudity?

Beyond take me out and beyond Broadway...

They're reviving that naked Camp Morning Wood musical this month I think.

R420 I saw a small East Village production of Yentl maybe 10 to 12 years ago where Avigdor got naked, which was a pleasant surprise.

That's the whole point of the scene, Yentl can't get undressed as the guys did.

R424 But it just felt like such a mid America synagogue basement community theater production that I wasn’t expecting it to go there. Especially as it was in a room that looked like a basement with chairs around the edge and theater in the round and that scene took place right in front of me and I could easily have reached out and given him a hand job.

If there is nudity required in the show they WILL ABSOLUTELY have you strip down. They have to make sure you don't have some hideous mark or deformity. For artistic reasons they can do this.

Yes, Equity will allow nudity at callbacks. SAG-AFTRA has all sorts of rules. They now have special people hired, named intimacy coordinators (or counselors) to try to make things easier for the nude actors, sometimes even choreographing moves, discussing where you can touch in bedroom scenes, etc.

R412, can you tell me more about Haskell King's cock? I have seen him around at auditions and readings and think he's really mysterious and sexy.

R428, his cock was beautiful. I saw him in Take Me Out. But did you see him in this downtown one-man play called Afterclap? It took place in this tiny theater and the play started with him with his ass to the audience, waking up, turning over and revealing a condom on his wilting erection. He pulled the condom off (with effort), then he walked into the audience to pee offstage. The cock passed me and it was mesmerizing--large, with a big cut head. His body was beautiful. He peed and walked past us again and the thing still had some stiffness.

JFC now I have to go beat off. Thanks, R412!

Nudity on stage never did anything for me. It takes a certain amount of arrogance to get up and do that. That alone would turn me off.

Jeremy Sisto was in a nude shower scene in one production of Take Me Out. I would have flown across the country to see that.

R15 Yuck.

Daniel Radcliffe had a beautiful body at the time he displayed it in EQUUS.

Very cute Alan Tudyk and really gorgeous Jay Goede (WEHT?) in "The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told" as Adam and Steve.

Back in college (Syracuse, 1980s), the theater department staged 'Equus.' The small actor who played Alan Strang was cute enough, but the director decided to darken the stage lighting during the nude scenes.

But what truly fascinated me was the strikingly handsome and tall guy portraying the main horse (a few had been recruited from the athletics dept.). The wire head-pieces were enough of a fetish, but the costume designer had all the horse/men shirtless in various-tinted form-fitting brown corduroy pants with flared cuffs to resemble hooves (high metal-framed boots).

At one point after the main 'horse' gets 'ridden' by Alan, I noticed a more pronounced bulge in the 'horse's pants. I didn't see him get hard on a repeat viewing closing night, but attended the cast party, where my flirtations got him into my (thankfully single) dorm room, where he proved his size and ride-ability.

After our terrific sex, I asked him about his possible onstage erection; he confirmed it. "Not every night," he added.

My pseudo-equine romance continued for months.

(photo is an example, not the production I described.)

R436, What precisely did your "flirtations" include?

R437: sophomoric pontifications about the play, theater, his athletic endeavors, horses, etc. Also, "I have beer."

I like your style, LPG!

R432, he has a strange little dent in one of his butt cheeks. Not off putting; endearing.

Saw it in Brentwood in la.

Did Sisto have a big bush?

R440 Don’t we usually refer to those as dimples, or was this something all together different?

I wish the original production in NY had someone as cute as Sisto. The cutest guy was Fumusa and I still want to know why he refused to transfer to Broadway. The only member of the cast who did not go. He didn't want to be seen naked on Broadway? His replacement to be charitable was poor.

Has anyone said the guy who played Harry Potter? What about Paul Rudd? How about the play Take Me Out?

R443, Daniel Sunjata was no slouch.

R19 no it's in 1999, and Kidman was not naked, her costar Iain Glen was, he even did a cartwheel.

Is it true that Jeremy Sisto is uncut?

It was Kidman who did the cartwheel.

R442, more like a little vaccination mark.

"The Changing Room" back in the 1970s -- John Lithgow got a Tony and was naked, along with a lot of the cast, including George Hearn , John Tillinger (before he went into directing), Paul Rudd, Rex Robbins (Angela Lansbury's Herbie in "Gypsy") and Richard Masur ("Hold me, David" from original "One Day at a Time"). I saw a revival at a theater school in NY a few years ago, where most of the guys were turned upstage during their scenes so not to be seen full-frontal. It's an interesting show, but lots of words not recognizable to Americans about rugby. Anyone see the original and remembrances of the cast?

[quote]he has a strange little dent in one of his butt cheeks. Not off putting; endearing. Saw it in Brentwood in la.

Maybe he got shot in the ass in the war.

How was Paul Rudd in a play in the 70s?

It was the original Paul Rudd, Rose.

A friend saw it in the 70s. He said an old woman gasped and ran out of the theater.

Penthouse put out a mag to go against Playgirl called VIVA, from '73 to '80. They did do a layout with the cast as a promo for the show. Never seen posted online anywhere.

I never knew there was another actor by that name. I thought the union made you take a unique name.

Cliff Gorman in Lenny. There also was a young nude couple in a scene.

The original Paul Rudd stopped acting and must have withdrawn from Equity before he passed away about 10 years ago. He was a very good actor and good-looking as well. I saw him as the Gentleman Caller in the "Glass Menagerie" with Maureen Stapleton and Rip Torn.

There's also another Doris Day. But probably never nude. (But she was in "The Women" on Broadway.)

I saw THE CHANGING ROOM on Broadway. Long time ago and I don't remember much except it was all fairly unintelligible what with the heavy northern England accents, slang and rugby rules. The actors were mostly unappealing character actors and the nudity, when it happened, was as non-sexual as can be imagined. The actors' bodies were all extremely muddy, bruised and bloody. I don't specifically remember John Lithgow or Paul Rudd, though I eventually became fans of both.

I think this show was before I saw Lithgow in the wonderfully funny MY FAT FRIEND with George Rose and Lynn Redgrave and Rudd in a few shows at Circle in the Square, including the upthread mentioned THE GLASS MENAGERIE and ROMEO AND JULIET. Rudd was a very handsome and ubiquitous young leading man on the NY stages in the 1970s and I remember him also playing one of the leads in a short-lived NY-filmed TV series called BEACON HILL, an unsuccessful rip-off of UPSTAIRS/DOWNSTAIRS. I wonder why he left show business? I believe he lived a quiet married life in Connecticut as a husband, father and teacher.

I saw him in the good revival of Ah, Wilderness! at Circle in the Square with the very cute Richard Bachus who I thought was going on to a Keir Dullea career but kind of disappeared.

Some character actors are quite cute actually and wouldn't mind seeing some of them nekid.

"The Changing Room" issue

r462 has an Abe Vigoda fetish.

More like Judge Reinhold, a cute character actor, who did full-frontal.

R465, I was a leading man, bitch!

Not when you're playing second fiddle to Eddie Murphy.

r450, meet r111, r117, r127...

No, R464, R462 is completely right--there are plenty of hot character actors and they don't look like Abe Vigoda.

Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman and Al Pacino were/are leading charactor actors, among others. Not a typical Golden Age or Hollywood or Golden Age of Broadway look. And yes De Niro and Hoffman did on-screen nudity.

David Eigenberg, very cute character actor, naked in "Six Degrees of Separation" and "Take Me Out".

The Viva spread (click forward for the subsequent pages)

I saw Scott Bakula nude many times. Not on stage - we shared a dressing room. (He had a supporting role to my lead, so there. It was a big cast and I suggested he could share with me.) His muscular butt and average but-eager-looking cock were on display. A dressing room was like a locker room to him. I remember that he was average but the head was especially attractive, for some reason. Cut. Nice, hairy chest. Mesomorph. Claims 6'. Well, maybe. Or not.

One woman he was fucking stood in the wings once downstage right when he was onstage and opened her dressing gown to him, wearing nothing underneath. I was upstage and saw her. He stumbled a bit. Not a bad guy, just completely ambition-focused and impersonal. If he was bright he didn't bother to show it.

Wow, my friends and I found that copy of Viva in the woods when I was a kid and I was fascinated and turned on by the Ben Murphy spread. It’s possibly the first male oriented nude pictures I saw and the first of a sexual nature. It must have imprinted on me as his looks basically became my physical ideal of attractiveness for men. I knew the magazine wasn’t Playboy or Hustler, but until now I didn’t know the name or have I seen the spread since the 70s, so thanks to who ever posted it and solved the mystery. I thought it was maybe a magazine I recall being named After Hours, but I think that was the only copy I had ever see.

Most actors are exhibitionists. Some of them mind stripping off but most don't.

^ Especially if it means losing a part. Actors want to be seen.

Something like that, R475 but theater is thought of in a different way than film/tv.

You're more likely to see a name actor nude on stage than on the screen. With film and television that frontal will live on forever when it's screen-capped and placed around the internet. That opens the actor up to a whole new level of judgment (especially since it will always be attached to them in searches) and most of them don't want that.

Of course every now and then some crafty person may record something but even then it's rarely as clear as it would be if it were captured on film in an environment where it's designed to be captured.

I don't know where you got all your misinformation R446, but Nicole Kidman was definitely nude in THE BLUE ROOM. As I recall, it was a brief moment in dim lighting, and she certainly wasn't facing full front, but she was nude on stage.

I am r111 and r460. This thread has gone on so long that I now see that I've posted twice on it about seeing THE CHANGING ROOM in my youth. And believe me, I love character actor hot daddies, but there were none in this cast in this production that turned me on, nude or not. I used to even have a bit of a crush on Joey Tillinger when I worked with him as he was morphing from character actor to director but he made no impression on me in THE CHANGING ROOM. It was an UNSEXY play, unjustly sold on male nudity, believe me.

"eager-looking cock"

I like that.

Speaking of which, what about DL fave Will Swenson and the "timid cock" he displayed in the HAIR revival?

Alas Nicole Kidman was in fact a nudie, both in London and then NY.

So now we've got the eager looking cock and the timid cock. How about an arrogant cock or a self-effacing cock?

R473, interesting remembrance about Bakula. I like that he treated the dressing room as a locker room, causally nude. But the reflection that there wasn't much there personality-wise is disappointing.

I've enjoyed Scott's work on TV and just today, my CD for the musical Romance/Romance arrived (starring Bakula nd Alison Fraser)... yes, the CD. I used to love the show, had it on cassette rec'd an email from a record label for musicals recently, R/R was included.

R483, I prefer an indifferent cock.

Domineering one for me please and thank you.

Did Ace Young go full-frontal in "Hair"? The women loved him on American Idol. He was gorgeous.

Forty-seven? Ha! Try 54.

[quote] my CD for the musical Romance/Romance arrived (starring Bakula nd Alison Fraser)... yes, the CD. I

I still buy the occasional CD of shows and movies that hard to find. I download them then donate them to the library will they will either put them on the shelf or sell in the used bookstore for funds.

R488. Nice, openly gay, and I think uncut...the pics were blurry.

Irish/Italian Catholic of his generation would be cut.

For God's sake, the uncut troll strikes again. I saw the show; I saw his dick; he was gloriously circumcised.

The Doyle shots were blurry because they were screenshots from the video (which can be found on LPSG). The image posted at r232 is clearer than the ones at r488. (We really are just talking about the same ones again now, aren't we?)

Let’s get Skylar Astin back on Broadway and nude, he did a movie awhile ago where all he wore was a sock on his junk and he still looks to be in great shape!

All the information abut Doyle you find on the internet manages to on it his date of birth. He's had so much facial work done, I'm surprised he can still smile. 57? Try 62.

"manages to omit his date of birth"

Doyle is still in his 40s.

He was born in '73. His date was on the internet at one time. If it is no longer there that is odd.

Wikipedia says he was born in 1972, but he was actually born in 1968.

Regardless, I think Mike Doyle is hot… very cute

I do remember '73 so does that mean he shaved 5 years off his age?

Clearly there is some confusion. Is '68 really correct?

R502, Let's ask Andrew Rannells.

Mike probably kept it from Rannells.

About the only thing he kept from Rannells, including the fact that Mike was a whore. When I saw him in the Rudnick play at LCT, a gaggle of old queens behind me wouldn't stop praising his agility at orgies they had attended.

R505, someone who has consensual sex at orgies is not a "whore" unless they charge money for it. Please get your terminology straight, you turd.

Oh Mike's a nice guy and a good lay. Get over it.

I gotta say that the nudity displayed by Doyle in that Paul Rudnick play was truly gratuitous. WEHT Rudnick's sense of humor? His Twitter zingers are sophomoric at best. Has he had any plays or screenplays produced in recent years or is he still just hired to dust up others' jokes?

Mike naked anywhere is not gratuitous. He's a work of art.

R508, the whole point of the gratuitous nudity in that Paul Rudnick play with Mike Doyle was that it was completely, totally gratuitous. That was the joke, and in my opinion, it was a funny joke that also gave us the golden opportunity to see Mike naked. A win-win situation, one might say.

Speaking of Mike Doyle and nudity (but not his own in this case), in 2002 he appeared in an Off-Broadway play called BURNING BLUE with a beautiful actor named Bill Dawes, who was fully nude in it. Bill got a lot of very positive reaction for his performance and his gorgeous, naked body. The New York Post ran an article by Michael Riedel about some backstage drama at the show. It mentioned Dawes' ample endowment, and after that article appeared, Mike said -- not with malice at all, but with humor -- "Now everybody wants to hire Bill Dawes!"

I was going to link to the article, but I don't want to give the Post any traffic, so here is the first part of it, and I'll post the second part momentarily.

-------

NAKED AGGRESSION – ‘BURNING’ GOES DOWN IN FLAMES

There was plenty of drama at “Burning Blue,” D.M.W. Greer’s off-Broadway play about the hot-button issue of gays in the military.

Unfortunately for the critics and audiences who found its take on the don’t-ask-don’t-tell policy rather tiresome, most of the drama took place off-stage.

During the short but volatile run of “Burning Blue,” which closed this weekend, the actors clashed bitterly with the director (in one instance, over the size of an actor’s penis), stage managers yelled at actors for not sticking to the script – and one performer was dismissed for punching a hole in his dressing room wall.

One actor pins the blame for the “toxic” backstage environment on director John Hickok and an “inexperienced” producer, George De Marco.

“We were a ship without a captain,” says the actor.

De Marco declined comment, but Hickok says if anyone is at fault, it’s the actors.

“They changed the script and the blocking during the run, which is prohibited by Actors Equity,” he says. “They experimented with stuff on stage, and they ignored the stage managers when they were told to stop.”

The director butted heads with several cast members, especially Bill Dawes, an up-and-coming young actor who was widely praised for his performance as Air Force pilot Charlie Trumbo.

Dawes appeared naked on stage, and as nightly gasping from the audience attested, he is amply endowed.

On at least one occasion, he came on stage even more endowed than usual.

Hickok accused him of “fluffing” himself before the show and told him not to do it again.

Says Dawes, “I hate to break it to him, but I never fluffed. Given the comments he made in rehearsal, maybe he has penis envy.”

The actor says Hickok regularly made fun of his God-given attributes, calling him “Big Charlie” and snickering, “Why don’t you put a harness on that thing?”

Part two of article referenced above:

Two sources support Dawes’ account, one saying, “I suppose it’s better to be on the receiving end of big-penis comments than small-penis comments, but it made Bill feel self-conscious and it was awkward for the rest of us.”

Hickok insists he never made such remarks. “The only thing I ever did was give him a note about his flaccidity,” he says. “Actors like to make the most of their assets – but in this case, it was inappropriate.”

Another point of contention was Dawes’ underwear.

He was directed to wear Happy Face underwear, but sometimes came on stage wearing American flag underwear because it got a bigger laugh.

One night, a stage manager chewed him out during the performance for the costume change.

Dawes yelled back and, in a huff, threw Ricola mints at the stage manager. According to Hickok, he also punched “a basketball-sized hole in the dressing room wall.”

Dawes was dismissed the next day, but several of the actors, led by the show’s star, Chad Lowe, rallied to his defense, and he was allowed to perform this past weekend.

“I did not throw any mints,” says Dawes, adding that the damage to the wall was minimal.

Said one of his fellow actors: “A lot of things led up to the altercation, and we felt Bill was not really at fault. He’s a consummate professional and a very talented actor, and we didn’t want to lose him.”

This actor says the cast “felt Hickok and the management were blaming us for the bad reviews.”

Hickok regrets that “Burning Blue” was an unhappy experience for the cast and says he’d like to “take them out for a beer and put it all behind us.”

[quote] Wikipedia says he was born in 1972, but he was actually born in 1968.

I think is R499 is more than likely correct, because a couple of articles about Mike mention that before going to Julliard in 1994, he had obtained a B.S. degree in economics from Georgetown University. And there's a candid photo of him in Georgetown's 1990 annual with the notation "CAS '90" - which means "College of Arts & Sciences Class of 1990." .. And since most people graduate from college at age 21-22, that would correlate to having been born in 1968.

But regardless of his real age, I think Mike looks great. It just makes him a hot daddy.

Mike you've been holding out on me! But yes you are a hot daddy.

I saw Burning Blue and Dawes did have a long completely unabashed nude scene and was as impressive as everyone says and is a really good actor.

Mike

R508, if you had seen the play, the nude scene was a spoof of gratutious male nudity. In fact, when Mike comes out, the other actor, playing the queen Mr. Charles of Palm Springs, proclaims, "And now...gratuitous male nudity!" It was MEANT to be gratuitous. And it was also very funny.

I’m not R508, but I saw the play and I thought the nudity was unfunny and actually embarrassing. And I say this as someone who usually loves nudity onstage.

r508, Rudnick has a new book out, jumping onboard the gay romance novel train.

Well, R518, that wasn't true for a lot of the older women in the audience, I noticed, who got a big kick out of the nude scene. And they're supposed to be the pearl clutchers, not gay men.

Did B.D. Wong show the wang in "M. Butterfly"? I know he did a nude scene. If he did that would be him, Mike Doyle, & Daniel Sujata all regulars on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit "all nude on stage.

Wong showed his ass only--that is, to the audience. He showed his dick to his co-star John Lithgow only.

Well it still counts a nudity.

Yes, R523. I was just answering R522's question of whether Wong showed wang.

Sorry, that was the question posed by R521.

I felt bad for Doyle when they wrote him out of SVU. They did a good, splashy job of it but those recurring Dick Wolf paychecks often meant the difference as to whether an an actor could afford to live in Manhattan or had to move to Staten Island or New Jersey.

What do you mean they did "a good splashy job of it"? They killed him off?

Mike Doyle is a recurring character on NEW AMSTERDAM.

Yes, it was during a season finale, his character got stabbed in the heart and he got a lot publicity for it. But I bet he would have rather had the regular paycheck.

"Dick Wolf paychecks often meant the difference as to whether an an actor could afford to live in Manhattan or had to move to Staten Island"

Please, Mary, R526. No actor moves to Staten Island.

Have your ever been an actor, r530? Desperation knows no bounds.

Not when it comes to Staten Island. There are too many other places to live.

Staten Island is also very Republican, almost like being in many parts of upstate NY. Quite a lot of actors don't want to deal with that as well, plus possibly a train or bus ride to the ferry, then a subway ride to midtown where most theaters are.

[quote] actors don't want to deal with that as well

Yes, actors are very intolerant.

R523, OP's post specifies actors who have gone "completely nude" on stage. So it presumably means those who have done full frontal and not just ass.

Did anyone see the notorious 1999 CORPUS CHRISTI by Terrence McNally at Manhattan Theatre Club? IIRC young Anson Mount as Jesus and Josh Lucas as Judas were both seen briefly nude. Has it been mentioned upthread?

Bless Terrence, he often gave us lovely nude scenes.

Anson Mount is a name that makes me blush even if wearing a full set of clothes, I can’t imagine what it would be like with him naked.

Jesse Williams recently confirmed on tv "Take Me Out" is coming to Broadway soon and he'll be naked in it. Very good lookin guy -- hope no more tattoos besides those on his legs. Why tamper with an already smokin' bod?

[quote]Anson Mount

It took a minute to figure out he was the guy who gave Charlotte crabs on SATC.

Wow he aged badly.

The cast for Take me out may change again...scheduling conflicts.

I hope none of them shave their junk, I would ask for a refund.

Jesse Williams is the star and cleared his schedule and left his show for it, and seems like the only attractive one anyway.

Williams holds no appeal to me.

I like the latin guy.

I thought Robert M. Jimenez, playing one of the two Latino guys, was one of the hottest in the shower scene in "Take Me Out" who isn't usually mentioned here.

The guys in Take Me Out need to be circumcised. If I were at the final nude auditions I would eliminate anybody who's intact. It's not right to inflict uncircumcised penises on audiences. Nobody wants to see that.

Oh, leave something for everybody. Focus on your favorite flavor!

Oh fuck off, and fuck you, R544.

There should be signs in the theater lobbies warning if there are uncircumcised penises to be seen in the performance.

I wouldn't mind seeing uncircumcised penises in a production. I never see them where I live.

Uncircumcised is gross! Ewww! Animal cock!

I know right? Like on a dog.

Where do you live, R548?

Some real freaks with baby-girl tastes in here.

REAL gay men love uncut cocks as much as cut cocks. Because they're awesome.

Still another thread devolves.

R552- You sound like a bottom.

Generally, a thread ages badly after the 400th post.

Speaking of which, how is David Pevsner?

Pevsner must be 68 by now and still doing pornographic shoots and strip dancing at nursing homes when they are not showing reruns of the Merv Griffin show.

R557, Arthur Treacher had a strong fan base.

There was an off-Broadway play many years ago set in a summer camp for men in which every cast member got naked. There was one guy who could have thrown that peen over his shoulder on Halloween and go as a gas pump.

R559 was this the play?

My theatre fantasy: I would like to see Take Me Out with an entire cast of intact cocks.

The problem would be there would be no audience.

R560, that show was produced very recently, not "many years ago," as the poster specified.

Nobody’s gonna go see the fugs at R560’s link.

R564 Right? We only wanna see celebrities naked, or at least EXTREMELY good looking nobodies! Otherwise, why bother?

R560-No. Years before that. in the 80/s.

The cast that did "Camp Morning Wood" originally a couple of years ago was much cuter. One or two of the holdovers are pretty cute.

When is Theatre coming back to various cities?

Naked actors matter.

Theater is back! By the fall it should be in full swing nationwide... assuming the Delta Burke doesn't send us back into lockdown.

Hey, I met Delta Burke at the Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS Annual Flea Market when she was appearing in "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and was not only charming, she was absolutely gorgeous in person.

Correction: Assuming politicians do not send us back into lockdown.

This country was never truly in lockdown. People bitched as if they were but they weren't. Now, can we go back to talking about nude actors?

R572 We were on lockdown and not because of politicians but because we didn't wanna fucking die!

Now we can get back to nude actors on stage. Haven't y'all discussed all of them by now? We are at 573!

All that's left now are the unimpressive tiny-dicked whores not worth mentioning.

Richard Kline from "Three's Company" apparently did a nude scene early in his career at Lincoln Center, which involved him getting out of the water, and apparently sometimes involved, from his describing it on a tv show, as what was later referred to on "Seinfeld" as "shrinkage". He was very cute and hairy (at least shirtless from "Three's Company).

We have mentioned tiny dicked whores R573...have you forgotten Daniel Radcliffe?

Kevin Kline (I don't think any relation to Richard Kline), apparently appeared nude in "Loose Ends" in a beach scene at the beginning when the show played pre-Broadway in Washington D.C., but appeared in a bathing suit on Broadway. Did they think the sight of Kevin's short and curlies would traumatize NYers? Did anyone see him in DC?

R575 Touche'!!!

Unless you're good looking, with a huge schlong, keep your fucking clothes on! Nobody wants to see that shit.

I would much rather see Kevin Kline nude than Richard Kline.

It looks like you missed your opportunity to see them both, unfortunately.

Kline's tush in on display in that film he made with Tracey Ullman years ago though.

Anthony Perkins and later his replacement Keith Michell (who liked to receive backstage visitors when he was nude) both showed their tushes in "Romantic Comedy" on Broadway.

Keith Michell actually showed his front as well on stage in "Abelard and Heloise" opposite also nude Diana Rigg, years before "Hair". It may have been fairly dimly lit though.

Michell, ma belle ---- (ok, beau) was very hot back then.

R579, I agree.

Hopefully the guys in "Take Me Out" don't have too many tattoos. Jesse Williams i think has one or more on his legs -- hopefully none higher up, as he looks pretty hot as it is.

If it is a shaved pube and tragic tattoo fest it will flop.

R586 Agreed. Nobody wants to see that, plus it would be inauthentic since shaved bodies and multiple tats is a modern phenom. This is a period piece addresses subject matter (extreme homophobia due to no "out" pro athletes) that necessarily makes it NOT modern.

If you’re going to be nude in public, be natural, no manscaping. The grooming draws attention to itself. I don’t want to be distracted from the storyline.

Hey, if I'm asked to believe a female Julius Caesar or a black Macbeth, I will certainly believe a shaved or tatted baseball player in 2002. I would be staring at his dick and ass anyway.

I won't even look at the dick if he is all inked and ugly.

Doubt if he would be on the stage.

The bootleg of the 2003 OBP in circulation is rather grainy.

Bootlegs of the upcoming revival will surely be much clearer.

If there even will be a bootleg.

What's OBP, R592?

Ah yes, Off-Broadway production. Lovely still images from that as well.

R594, No, Original Broadway Production.

Ah. Because the images that I saw predominately came from the Off-Broadway production.

[quote] Bootlegs of the upcoming revival will surely be much clearer.

Tiny theatre, house people will be on alert.

R598, Not to worry, fans of the play will know when the Act I shower scene occurs and cell phones are easy to obscure.

The ushers cannot be everywhere at once.

The theatre isn't that tiny, R598. It has wide rows and it's a steep rise. Your neighbor in the next seat would know you were recording easier than an usher. But then, considering the audience will be 90 percent gay men, I'm sure we'll have competing bootleg versions.
