A few years ago, I was in P-Town with my partner and we had heard of a controversial show playing at the Crown and Anchor called Naked Boys Singing. Well, with a name like that, I insisted we go see it while it was still running. The town was trying to shut the show down calling it an "pornographic show" when in reality it was no different than any other art form that may have nudity. I was glad we got a chance to see it. The very first song, Gratuitous Nudity set the stage for what was an amazing show. During that first number, they pretty much tell you to look, gawk, stare, whatever you need to do, and get it out of the way because the nudity was not the main attraction. I didn't believe that because I was there to GAWK! These guys were all hot and all in a different way. From the thin little twink to the hairy daddyish type, there was something for everyone.
By the second number, I was losing my focus on the hot men and being taken in by the incredible singing! By the time the third song had started, I had forgotten they were naked altogether and you will too.
We are fortunate to have Naked Boys Singing on its way to Key West. I had a chance to interview the producer Adam Weinstock via e-mail and this is what he tells P&E about the show.


Tell ma a little about Naked Boys Singing.

Well they are actually Naked and Yes they actually Sing. This show is very charming but can be viewed otherwise to a lot of people. They don't know what to expect. They expect the worst, so they stay away if they are not educated as to the true nature of the show. It is a delightful celebration of humanity.

What better way to celebrate anything than with nudity! What was the inspiration for Naked Boys?

...to sell tickets and entertain people? But I really see it as a light hearted musical response to the Vagina Monologues phenomenon. Naked Boys Singing has great appeal to both men and women. My mother and my married brother both loved it.

If my mother was still around she would INSIST I take her to it! When was the first time Naked Boys were seen singing (not including all the queens singing I Will Survive in the shower.)

Los Angeles March 19th 1998 and since then it has played all over the world.


Has there ever been an "embarrassing moment" on stage?
The show is strictly legitimate and the performers all professional. It is a Musical Comedy review. It does celebrate nudity , but it is not sexual. There are no "embarrassing moments" on stage. Maybe in the dressing room.  


How do I get access to the dressing room?
What the audiences get to see is a beautifully constructed world-wide appreciated top notch show. The shows creator Robert Schrock will be directing in Key West and he insists on nothing less.

Explain to our readers about the controversy in Provincetown and what the outcome was.

In Provincetown some people wanted to make things tough for the venue "The Crown and Anchor." They started an avalanche which could not be stopped. No one is sure who "complained." Certainly not the sold out audiences.  We had to have a town hearing.  I suppose it was on the artistic merit of the show. Quite ridiculous for Provincetown where there was nudity in a play performed in Town Hall just a year prior. The Crown and Anchor and all the performers in town were incredibly supportive. Provincetown had to rewrite some very old bylaws. Nicole Kidman was nude on Broadway that same season. Since my production, the Provincetown Community theater was able to do its production of the musical HAIR.
Sounds like Provincetown and Key West are very similar with their over-controlling town government. Tell us what we can expect to see at the show.

17 beautifully staged musical numbers sung by some very professional and hunky men. The voices will be supreme and the show will be Off-Broadway quality. There are even some of the NYC members in the Key West cast, plus a straight man . I'll never tell which. Oh and of course there will be Gratuitous Nudity...which is incidentally the name of the first song.
I sure love Gratuitous Nudity... and the song too! When and where is the show paying?


Naked Boys Singing is playing at the Waterfront Playhouse. The show opens on March 8th and runs through April 1st. More information and ticket sales information can be found at www.waterfrontplayhouse.com
Fortunately, I already bought my tickets. Right up front of course! Now for the most important question. How do I get to interview each boy individually and in private?

Well they are performers and I am sure they would all be willing to perform. If their union allows them to do solo work.   Just let me know which one you fall in love with, and I'll set up an interview...in return for a glowing review.

That can be arranged! It's cheaper than a private dance at any of our local bars! And the odds are better I will find a gay one!


By the way...I can be requested as well



As long as you aren't the straight one.... Call me!
