Take Me Out - embarrassing moments?#0
Posted: 6/11/03 at 4:30pmWith all the male nudity - I am wondering if there have been any embarrassing moments (on or off Broadway) for any of the actors. Also wondering if they have 'fall back" plans just in case... If an actor felt things were headed in that direction, do they have an "escape plan." This must be considered in any show with male nudity and maybe some of you more seasoned people can shed some light. Also, does anyone know why one of the actors was replaced when the show moved to Broadway? Thanks.

the embarrassing moments are when they step on stage nude night after night. lol, no i dunno havent' seen it. i guess you're asking if any little men stould at salute when they weren't supposed to?

I have yet to see it -- I will be seeing it soon though.. but Daniel Sunjata (be still my heart!
) gets naked onstage and takes a shower. I am told that 99% of the show takes place in the locker room with the guys showering. Now that is MY kind of show! lol

HA -- this lady does.
As a matter of fact, this lady was damn near drooling over Daniel Sunjata during Stars in the Alley last week, and all he did was get up to present... fully clothed... lol

Posted: 6/11/03 at 4:58pmMost of the play does indeed take place in a locker room and 99% of the cast does take showers during the course of the action. If the question here is whether these men have unplanned erections, I doubt that it ever happens. When you have a theater full of people watching you and you are concentrating on your character, I don't think there would be any unexpected activity in the nether region. If it did happen, then so what? It happens to men all the time.

instead of embarrassing, shouldn't this thread be caled 'exciting'.
Most guys try to fix the problem by masturbating before they go on stage. I know in a ninterview, a former cast member of Naked Boys Singing said that most of them do that before perfoming. MOSt guys do have the tendency to not be able to get it up for a little while after they... you know. Most. Not all, but most.

the closest I "came" to onstage nudity was modeling for drawing classes in undergrad. And there were very attractive people in the classes (and as fellow models), but nothing ever happened "down south"; and I certainly didn't masturbate to insure that. The most unusual thing was one day an artist showed me their portfolio of my modeling and not only was my muscalature enhanced (like some kind of comic book hero), there were drawings of the member in question also enlarged, and a few of it standing for attention. I asked about it and was told by the artist that was the way I was seen in their imagination. Food for thought...wish I had those drawings now as the facial likeness was good enough for ID purposes!
I also caught TAKE ME OUT and the males were wonderful to look at as well as good actors. The nudity is central to the theme of the play as well. And from what I heard, the actor replaced wanted to pursue other projects and the parting was amiable. I only saw it at the Pubic (pun intended) and not on Broadway, so I don't know how his replacement looks or fares in the role.
