The Threepenny Nudity
re: The Threepenny Nudity#25
Posted: 3/15/06 at 11:32pmIs it simply the nudity that's making everybody wiggy, or is it that it's allegedly male nudity?

What's making ME wiggy is the possible Alan Cumming nudity. I still have nightmares about his perfume ad.
re: The Threepenny Nudity#27
Posted: 3/15/06 at 11:44pmI've never understood the appeal of Alan Cumming.
re: The Threepenny Nudity#28
Posted: 3/15/06 at 11:46pmI like him. I think he's a fine performer, and I'm actually looking forward to his take on the role. I just don't want his penis anywhere near me.

Posted: 3/15/06 at 11:51pmWhy are you so afraid of his penis?

lol I'm not afraid of it.
Ok, maybe a little...
Not really, I'm exaggerating. I just really don't want to see Alan Cumming naked. I can't be the only person who feels this way. Right?

Posted: 3/15/06 at 11:58pmIf there was ONE performer I would not want to see naked, it would probably be Alan Cumming...or maybe Carol Channing...
re: The Threepenny Nudity#32
Posted: 3/15/06 at 11:59pmHe'd probably be disappointed to hear that. I get the feeling he thinks everyone wants to see his penis.

"I get the feeling he thinks everyone wants to see his penis."
which is exactly what makes the prospect of nudity in this show so terrifying.
Now, Carol Channing I wouldn't mind seeing naked. Just cause it would be oh so wrong.

Posted: 3/16/06 at 12:07amCarol does have a smokin' bod.

This is hands down the funniest thread I've read. A classic for the Broadway World archives. Thanks.
Count me on the side of looking (not staring) at Alan Cumming. I find him oddly compelling.
re: The Threepenny Nudity#37
Posted: 3/16/06 at 1:04amI find Alan Cumming sexy
re: The Threepenny Nudity#38
Posted: 3/16/06 at 1:11amMaybe it'll be like the streaker who ran across the stage at the 1974 Oscars.

Considering half of this play takes place in the underbelly of London (ie...WHORES GALORE!) I am sure even Brecht and Weill would have had nudity in the original production if it were legal.
As for the box office notice, it is called CYA. They must tell people there is a possibility there might be nudity so that after the fact people can't ask for a refund if they were not warned. I think the final decision on the nudity hasn't been made, but they need to tell people that they may see a dick or a tit.

Maybe it's like the ensemble boys?
We all saw plenty of Alan Cumming in Caberet...NO MORE.

Posted: 3/16/06 at 2:44amI just love the idea of a guy who's last name is "Cumming" doing a full frontal scene
re: The Threepenny Nudity#44
Posted: 3/16/06 at 2:45amI don't understand why people don't think Alan is sexy... i would do anything to A see him naked or B be his boy toy!

re: The Threepenny Nudity#46
Posted: 3/16/06 at 3:33amI'm on BwayBaby's side, I hope the nudity is Alan Cumming. I wouldn't mind seeing him naked.
re: The Threepenny Nudity#47
Posted: 3/16/06 at 11:00amI really don't think it is going to be Jim Dale! I don't really see a point in the story where his character would even be naked. It will probably be Cumming, as we have all surmised, or it could be Brian Charles Rooney who is playing Lucy Brown.
re: The Threepenny Nudity#48
Posted: 3/16/06 at 11:08amwho says "full frontal" means a man? i dont really care, but i do not want to see alan cumming naked, ever, he is oddly thin and pale and oogy.
re: The Threepenny Nudity#49
Posted: 3/16/06 at 1:30pmI'll put a vote in for Brian Charles Rooney. Clearly this Macheath is going to be ambisextrous... Of course it could be Carlos Leon (Lourdes' daddy)...
