Just came back from seeing Dirty Rotten Scoundrels! I didn't know Norbert spends a scene barechested and in boxer shorts!! YEAH! Had trouble concentrating on the dialogue.
The truly beautiful should be lawfully restricted from wearing clothing; and the truly butt-ugly should be lawfully mandated from going naked.
I remember the 1990 or 91 tour of "M Butterfly" with Philip Anglim, and the Asian-American actor whose name I can't remember (and it wasn't BD Wong), and during the "transformation" scene. I was like 14 or 15 at the time. My Mom leaned over to me and said, "Look at his smooth butt". (I wonder if this was foreshadowing of what was to come).
Wong's replacement in M. Butterfly was Alec Mapa. He works a lot on TV, but, unlike Wong, seems to ONLY play flamboyantly gay characters. I beleive he was the he was the houseboy who caused the breakup of Chandler Bing's parent's marriage on FRIENDS. It was a flashback on a Thanksgiving episode where they were seeing who had had the worst thanksgiving ever.
Also -- HurlyBurly that is currently playing off-broadway is three hours of near-nakedness on nearly the entire casts parts, particularly Ethan Hawke, Bobby Canavale, and the other guy who's name slips my mind at the moment.
OTHERDARYL, there was no nudity in the original Broadway production of THE RITZ. I saw it three times, it is probably my most favorite Broadway comedy ever!
But nudity? Lots of guys in towels,,,,,but there was never any nudity in that show.

I'd rather see a real body on stage than a manufactured one. I saw Norbert Leo Butz this weekend, shirtless in boxers only and he was great looking. No washboard stomach, a bit on the soft side, but cute as all heck. Would pick him over better built guys any day.

Yes, I'd agree. Of course Michael Berresse and his hard as a rock abs turn me on..but Marc K. just seems like a 'real man.' You know he sits at home and drinks beer in his undies. That's hot. Whew! Is it getting warm in here?
