Most erotic moment? — Page 3

When Bob Cuccioli (as Henry) was painting Matt Cavenaugh (as Dorian) in "Dorian - The musical. Saw it 3 times here in Denver.

""I think a lot of you are missing the point of what an erotic scene truly is. Erotic is something that evokes a sexual feeling, or where there is an underlying feeling of sexual tension, but not something that blatantly shouts "WE'RE HAVING SEX!".""

THAT'S what I'm talkin about!!

That's why I like Dangerous Game. I saw it pre Broadway when it was soooo much better than when they changed it all for Broadway (in my opinion) The dance they do is so erotic, and though there is some "touching" it still implies much more than was going on. And when Linda Eder straddled him at the end and he flipped her up-side-down...well...still thinking about it!

I know it's not a musical, but the end of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is the hottest thing I have ever seen.

LittleFish8386, thanks for so eloquently stating the difference between graphic sexuality (i.e. "stage porn") and eroticism.

I'd like to nominate the end of "Going Places" from Grey Gardens. As the young Joe Kennedy and Little Edie sing about their future they get closer and more intimate with each other. The last line before a black out is "we're going all the way" and it's clear this has a dual meaning. This wouldn't be so interesting if the scene was set in the present day, but it's powerful stuff for 1941.

The look on Erin Davie's face at that moment is the most erotic thing I've seen on Broadway recently.

I agree with sweetestsiren about "Contact."

Anyone else feel that "I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You" from Evita is so hot? Especially in the movie. Mmmm.

I love "Look Down" from Les Mis.

I think a lot of you are missing the point of what an erotic scene truly is. Erotic is something that evokes a sexual feeling,
By that definition - Adam Pascal doing "One Night in Bangkok" from the Actor's Fund Chess Concert, I cant even lie

No. I just like Aaron Lazar on the bridge.

Well, I was kind of under the impression that we were listing songs and moments that were "erotic" due to the content rather than the performers in select productions involved (I mean, in that case, let me throw in every single time Michael Cerveris opened his mouth in Sweeney Todd), but I guess whatever floats your boat...

I'd agree with "Elaborate Lives" and also throw in "Mein Herr" from Cabaret, although I think erotic might be a bit too strong of a word for it (or a lot of these examples, really). "Sexy" seems more appropriate, I think.

i agree with whoever said it's very much in the subtlety of the lyrics or the swell of the voice and/or orchestra. for different people i think different voices and lyrical moments can stir those passionate feelings and leave them panting for more. for some of us live theatre itself is erotic!!

for me, personally, i think brian stokes mitchell's voice evokes so much passion and it always stirs me up! I love in the middle of "New Music" when he calls out for Sarah...with the orchestrations and his thunderous voice I just have to listen again and again. For me, it's the appeal of that very confident, in control character expressing his one flaw of being absolutely under the power of another human being. It's romantic and erotic all at once.

Also, i love little teasing numbers like "People Will Say We're in Love" and "Light My candle"...but "Dangerous Game" is also great because it takes you deep inside the mind into these carnal desires that you're afraid for these two characters to be having for each other. it's hot

Now, those are some erotic moments! How about the end of If I Loved You in Carousel, when Julie Jordan talks about the flowers just comin' down by theirselves...I remember when I did this scene in HS I was all hot and bothered by it.
