none!

Although, mine is more of a classy naked review. It'll be just like a cabaret show except he'll be naked. Which as we've all seen from his website is something he's not uncomfortable doing, so we might actually have a shot at this! All we really need is a theatre a sound system, a little black stool and a pump (just in case...). All else it optional. We don't even need a curtain...

plot: in the 1950's (i think that is when it'll be anyway...) a teenaged stage hand gets a shot at the big time when a featured dancer in a hit new show breaks his leg seconds before his entrance and he is shoved on stage in his place. he becomes the new broadway "it boy", and even gets his own manager (gary beach). rummors about his past start to surface when the fact that he is an orphan is made PUBLIC, especially when a slightly mad old flyman tells him that he is the son of a famous broadway couple of yester-year who died early in their career, in a terrible backstage accident. he tries to brush this aside, but he cant help thinking of one of his earliest childhood memories; being on a brightly lit stage in front of an ovationary audience. his agent introduces him to a wise old broadway legend (chita rivera) who-in true anastasia form- informs him of his ture identity. he IS indeed, the son of the "first couple of broadway". that memory he has was when they brought him onstage during a curtain cal. when all this becomes official, he becomes more than just the "it boy", he becomes a star, and he decides to continue performing, in his parents memory.
