"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!

I honestly don’t remember anything from that show.

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

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.

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.
