Two nights only! The world-renown Naked Boys Singing returns
to Madison, proudly presented by StageQ and Bailiwick Repertory Theatre.
Audiences around the world are enjoying the music and frolic of Naked
Boys Singing . Performances in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and
London are sold out. The Daily News said, “It's bound to be a hit with
gays, straights - and everyone in between.
Naked Boys Singing is a traditional musical revue, in the
vein of Vaudeville and high-camp American musical theater. Its only point
is to celebrate the splendors of male nudity in comedy, song and dance.
Musical numbers range from the screamingly funny (like the sassy opening
number "Gratuitous Nudity" or the circumcision-based "Bliss of a Bris") to
poignant and moving numbers (such as "Kris Look What You've Missed" and
"Window to Window"). There are 16 songs in Naked Boys Singing -
making this 90-minute tribute to the human male, fly by in a rage of
laughter and nudity!
The Chicago cast of Naked Boys Singing includes former
Madisonian Scott Thomas. Scott grew up in and around Madison and Oregon
and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree (Voice Performance) from UW
Madison in 2001. Scott moved to Chicago four years ago to be in the cast
of Naked Boys Singing. Asked what it’s like to perform in Naked
Boys Singing , Scott said, “I think it's wonderful!! I’ve never had
any reservations about it. I think the treat for me is the audience. At
first you see a lot of surprised faces...but it's great to watch the
audience become more comfortable and regain their composure as the show
drives forward. They come to realize that aside from the nudity, which is
an added bonus to some, the eight guys on stage are very talented and the
eyes and voices become the main attraction.”
Performance runs July 25 and 26, 2005, 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. each
night. Performances are in the upstairs Drury Theater of The Bartell
Theater, 113 East Mifflin Street, Madison, Wisconsin.
