There's been in previous productions, would anyone care to reveal who/ what is shown and for how long?

My mother gets rather antsy when nudity happens without her prior knowledge, nearly killed me while seeing South Pacific.

Yes, I'd like to know who is naked as well, for how long and when exactly this happens and also what the lighting is like in those scenes. My........Grandmother doesn't like it. Yes, that's it. My Grandmother needs to know. She's very particular about this.

You get to see all of Bill Heck in Part 2. It's for several moments, then he is covered with a coat. But it's all there, in plain sight.

I hope no one's gettin' naked. I don't want to see Christian Borle's pee-pee.

Will anyone be suspicious if I wear a very long raincoat to Angels in America?

I, um, don't want to get wet.

My grandmother would hate to see every inch of Zachary Quinto naked and engaging in audience interaction.

If someone gets sexually aroused by the nudity in Angels in America they need to seek psychiatric help.

I haven't seen the Sig. production yet, but I do recall a memorable moment in the miniseries where Mary Louise Parker pulled the whole jungle out as Harper partway through Pt. 1.

^ I work in an archive center at my school, and just last week I was filing away Mary Louise Parker's things, and among them was the hair piece she glued down there. Good times.

Seriously? What archive is this?! Wow- can we BWW field trip there???

What's more, will Zoe Kazan's be put there as well? idk if she uses one. I grew up with Mormons and I didn't ever meet one with a landing strip.

Bill Heck and Christian Borle both get naked. Zachary Quinto drops his pants in the park sex scene, but no full frontal. And I can't believe I actually typed this up...

Zoe Kazan doesn't have a nude scene like Mary Louis Parker did in the miniseries. For that moment, she is simply in her underwear.

Part 1 gets Borle nude
Part 2 gets Heck nude

Can someone who also so the original Broadway production confirm something for me.

I saw PERESTROIKA twice. Once with David Marshall Grant as Joe and once with Jay Goedde (sp?). During the 'winter Atlantic' scene, Joe stripped down to his Mormon undies and was kept from taking it all off by Louis.

This recollection is correct...right? I didn't actually miss the nudity, did I? And has doing full nudity in that scene been something that's been done since the tv movie?

In the script, it specifies that Joe should be naked in that scene; but David Marshall Grant, for the usual reason (as very popular rumor has it), doesn't do full frontal. So in the original production, Joe kept his 2nd skin on.

Also in the original, Joe Mantello, as Louis, kept his underwear on in a scene that (I believe) was specified as nude.

What is the "usual reason"?
Oh you mean the lack of acting technique?

Millenium Approaches (Act 3, Scene 2):
EMILY: Only six. That's good. Pants.
(He drops his pants. He's naked. She examines.)

Perestroika (Act 3, Scene 4):
(Joe pushes Louis away, Louis falls, and Joe removes most of the rest of his clothing, tearing the temple garment off. He's almost naked.)

Officially, only Prior is required to be naked by written standards. However, the stage directions only coincide with the original production's blocking. Joe may or may not be naked. In this production, he is. So, as we've all just read, Prior and Joe get naked, Harper is in her underwear, and Louis drops his pants with no nudity.

Random interjection. Over the course of reading 19 posts on this thread, the television aired two back-to-back commercials for "Foaming Pipe Snake".

The inner 10 year old is giggling. Something like that just can't be planned.

BTW: I got Christian Borle and Christian Hoff confused; was wondering how someone wouldn't want to see that, then realized my mistake.

I'd rather see Borle than Hoff anyday.
