Anyone nude in THE NORMAL HEART?

I'm taking my mother for Mother's Day and she is fine with profanity, simulated sex, and gay content, but only offended by nudity. So please tell me who, for how long and where to sit to best see so it we go we can sit far away from it-even though I, rather we, won't go there are nudes.

I want to protect my mother's sensibilities.

Nope, no nudity. If I remember correctly, Joe Mantello gets down to his underwear right at the beginning to be checked out by the doctor, but it's not really nudity.

Mantello strips down to his underwear for a doctors exam in one scene, but he's not nude.

Reasonably sure that BettyBoy is joking.

It was so unprompted it seemed sincere!

Is your mom offended by underwear?

Well now she is. I told her no one is nude and she lost interest but then she remembered Ellen Barkin was nude a lot in the 90s and might want to see her act with clothes on.

She said when actors are in underwear she feels they are being inauthentic because people get nude at the doctors and she cant suspend her disbelief like that.

Best. Thread. Ever.

That makes sense, Betty. Did your mom want to see the show nude?

[Bettyboy72]

Posted: 4/30/11 at 12:38am

No. She wears a housecoat and heels. She sneaks her own snack in too.

Her muffin?

[Bettyboy72]

No. A cheese tray and Snapples.

Damn, your Mom must have some folds on her if she can hide all that. Good for her, though.

Twizzlers, clearly, with a nice, icy-cold beverage. They make much more noise than muffins.

While being incredibly moist, Betty's Mom's muffin is also incredibly noisy when It's being eaten.

She has a large satchel. She's very petite. Anyhow, she was hoping for more stars. She is now upset Kate Jackson isnt in it.

She's in the running to do the tour. It's between her and Dinah Manoff.

She's hoping Daniel Radcliffe tours in How To SuckSeed.

No, that's Aaron Tveit's role. Didn't you read here that he came out the other day? Your Mom really needs to get her facts straight.

[Bettyboy72]

She doesnt know who Aaron Tight is. She only reads In Touch Weekly.

On some nights, when he feels the need for a little more attention, Larry Kramer stands outside the theater and hands out his old mimeographed fliers in the nude.

But not when it's raining.
