"Money shot" onstage during The Performers?

Just read the play "The Performers" and it calls for an onstage "money shot" [[edited by BWW staff]] in the stage directions? How on Earth did they stage this?

After reading this, I wish I had seen this one.

I saw it. It was fun. Don't remember the money shot but it could have happened!

^ Same.

I remember that when i saw the show, i laughed harder than i had in a VERY long time and was honestly shocked that the show flopped, the way it did. Updated On: 7/27/21 at 08:24 AM

Part of it was opening right in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy with little promotion. I remember enjoying myself a lot but I don’t remember there being any sort of “money shot” on stage.

I laughed a ton but there was no Money shot or even anything that racy. Updated On: 7/27/21 at 10:42 AM

I only recall being disappointed that despite the photo outside the theater, Henry Winkler did NOT at any time appear dressed as a construction worker in tiny daisy dukes. 

That, and everyone seemed to be in a different play.

I misread as "The Producers," and was trying to remember when THAT took place.

As others have mentioned, I saw the show, have fleeting memories of mildly enjoying it, but remember nothing about it. I don’t recall it being very good. Not surprising it flopped. Everyone did seem to be in a different show, directed by a different director and I recall no one other than Winkler seemed to be having any fun. Jackson seemed very tense and out of his element.

I don't remember the show in that much detail, either, but the show was not graphic at all.  IIRC, no nudity, no sex scenes, no "money shot."  There was some racy talk, but that was all.

I saw this show when I was stranded in NYC after Sandy before I moved here and it was hilarious to me at the time, and I have absolutely no memory of it beyond that. LOL

Would've liked to see this, if only to have the opportunity to see Henry Winkler and Alicia Silverstone onstage. Have they done anything onstage since? I wasn't in NY when it was playing, but I remember being aware of the show, and its sudden closure.

It seems like the days of "1-week of performances" flops like this are behind us. Nowadays, it seems like most producers would rather stick it out for a bit, even with disastrous grosses - either to avoid the shame, or because they have some deluded hope of numbers turning around.
