"There's nudity in King Lear?!"

I think Shakespeare's direction is simply that Lear "Begins to disrobe," but I know Ian Holm in the National Theatre production got totally nekked. (I only saw him from the bum side from where I was sitting). It's done during the storm scene where Lear encounters 'Poor Tom'/Edgar, the "unaccomodated man."

From what I can remember;

Hunter Foster in The Full Monty.

Good times.

Well, I was *in* a production of LVC, so... the rest of my cast. I'd add myself to the list, but I see that all the time.

I could have sworn that Elisabeth Withers-Mendes was wearing a G-string in The Color Purple rather than a body suit. It was kind of dark, though.

"Ian McKellen- King Lear (he has the biggest...I've ever seen)"

My mom saw King Lear a week before me. All she could talk about was that scene (and the size of his . . .). She was right.

Besides that, the cast of a touring production of Hair; one of the characters in the Steppenwolf's Broadway transfer of The Grapes of Wrath; Julie Walters in Frankie & Johnny in the West End; and David Haig in Dead Funny also in the West End. (For the last one, I thought the people next to me would die when he took off his pants. We were in the front row and he walked right up in front of them before sitting down stage center.)

I dont know about when you guys saw Spring Awakening, but NOONE was naked in that show. All you saw was Lea Michelles breasts (which would be considered partial nudity) and Groffs butt(which is not considered nudity at all.


Naked Boys Singing... Equus.... Hair... THOSE have nudity....

I'm considering any usually unexposed body part to be nudity. If breasts and butts aren't nudity then the only thing left would be the other stuff and that is simply not all that nudity entails. True, though, that if Spring Awakening were a movie it would probably only warrant a brief nudity warning at the start of the film.

That's what I figured. I've just never seen a production that went the full monty. Kevin Kline's Lear had sort of a diaper on! It definitely makes sense dramatically and to me would be even more disturbing and heart-breaking to see the character so degraded.

and Groffs butt(which is not considered nudity at all.

Last time I checked, a bare asS is considered nudity by every human being in the world, except for you apparently. Partial nudity, but (haha, butt) nudity none the less.

true true... but people mention the "cast of spring awakening" and im not sure i consider one set of breasts and one butt to be seeing the cast nude. but yea, i guess its still exposing something that is normally covered.

I mean, if Jon Groff wanted to go by your defition of nude, who am I to stop him?

A lot of these were occupational hazards...

Johnny Galecki, Neal Huff and Tom Everett Scott in Little Dog Laughed
Kelly AuCoin and Romain Frugé in Some Men (I never got tired of Romain's behind)
Tony Schaloub's butt in The Scene
Tony Goldwyn in Water's Edge
Daniel Eric Gold in Suburbia, (during previews before the subscribers complained)
Various rear ends of Maureen
Kate Monster in Avenue Q

God, I've got a bunch of naked men, a few female butts, and a puppet. There might be more, but all the repeated viewings kind of cloud right over those.

Carla Gugino in "After ther Fall". And the two lead actors in "Bugs" - names escape me - who must have been nude for fully a third of the play.

I've seen so many actors naked on stage - but my favorite is still one of my firsts. Peter Firth in Equus proved he not only worshipped horses, he was also hung like one.

Kate Levering's boobs in Thou Shalt Not
I forget who in The Wild Party
The cast of The Full Monty four different times
Many butts in Cabaret
The entire team and their bats in Take Me Out.

Probably the one that surprised me most was when Jennifer Tilly flashed her vajayjay in front of the Pepsi kid in "The Women."
