...not on stage but in Playboy ages ago...our very own Karen Ziemba topless!!!!
STACY KEACH! King Lear...
I think about it all the time. HAHAH
Lea Michele's boobs & Jonathan Groff's butt (of course)
Ian McKellen - King Lear (I was also shocked by the size!)
Hunter Foster - The Full Monty (and the rest of the Ogunquit cast, but I don't remember any names)
Tony Shalhoub's butt - The Scene
Gaby Hoffman's butt - SubUrbia (sort of)
many, many Maureen butts
A few others that were so long ago, I don't remember the names.
Well I'm in NAKED BOYS so i see a lot of naked boys each week!

Quite a few since the late '60s.
Edie Falco and Stanley Tucci in Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune; Jude Law in Indiscretions; Peter Firth in Equus; quite a few others.

Does it count if I was picturing Cheyenne naked while watching him on stage?
What's really interesting to me is I just wrote a paper for my Sexuality class about the objectification of the nude in the theatre.
Really? What was your ... position?
I pretty much thought that some people objectify these performers by going to see a show for the sight of oggoling their bits. But i personally felt that reviewers and the media make it out to be more then it actually was. For instance they made it sound like Kathleen Turner did a striptease in the graduate and just walk around naked for like an hour were as it was only like 2 minutes of her standing naked in dim lighting.
I got an A on it.
The thread on Maxwell Caulfield reminded me of this.
He was stunning in Salonika, but some other greats in decades of theatre-going include:
Alan Tudyk and Juan Carlos Hernandez in Most Fabulous Story Ever Told
Jonathan Groff in The Singing Forest
Jake Weber and Jeanne Tripplehorne in The Big Funk
Rob Campbell in King Lear
The original casts of Love Valour Compassion, Take Me Out, and Naked Boys Singing
Bradley Whitford in Curse of the Starving Class
Sean O'Bryan in The Lisbon Traviata
Dylan Kussman in Missing Persons
Mike Doyle in The New Century
Matthew Pilieci in The Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side
Scott Barrow in Valhalla
Jude Law in Indiscretions
Aaron Wimmer in Sleeping With Straight Men
Daniel Radcliffe in Equus
Jonathan Cake in Cymbeline
Benjamin Walker in Les Liaisons Dangereuses
And now I'm tired, although there are many more.
How could I forget, I saw Richard Gere in "BENT".

I saw lots of naked men on stage at the Gaity Theater above the Howard Johnson's in Times Square in its day. First they'd come out and dance and remove what little they had on and then they'd go backstage, get fluffed and come back out, how should I say this, pointing to the sky in most cases.
I had lots of good experiences there. Wish there was a place in NY like that now. Curse Guliani for cleaning up the city!
Edie Falco and Stanley Tucci in Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, Patrick Wilson in Full Monty, Jude Law in Indiscretions; a gorgeous young German in Bent, Daniel Radcliff in Equus; the original casts of Love, Valor, Compassion, Party, Hair, BD Wong in M Butterfly, Take Me Out, Naked Boys Singing and Angels in America, Kathleen Turner in The Graduate and most recently the young man in HIGH. And lets not forget about Oh, Calcutta...though it was the most forgetable musical I've ever seen!
CHICKFILA- Perhaps you saw me dancing on that Gaiety stage as well in 1978!

PRIVATES ON PARADE at the Roundabout (when they were located in Union Square) in the late 1980's:
Full frontal: Donna Murphy and the late John Curry (olympic figure skater)
Rear: Edward Hibbert and Greg Jabara (his frist "bare ass in the shower" scene - which he'd later repeat in Damn Yankees)
Plus Jim Dale in drag and in tiny black silk briefs.

Once A Month - send me a pic and I will tell you if I saw you. Perhaps I gave you a $1?

Daniel Gerroll in "Plenty"
Bill Pullman in "Curse of the Starving Class"
The usual "Spring Awakening," "Full Monty, "Equus," " Hair" and "Naked Boys Singing" suspects.
Can't remember his name, but a scene involving nudity in "Metamorphoses" brought me to tears.
- The cast of HAIR.
- Evan Jonigkeit (as Cody) in HIGH...(Not a bad sight from the front row)
Me...in Strip! Barely Legal at the Hudson Backstage Theatre.
End-of-show audience participation included amateur strip contest. I lost to a tubby dude who actually danced during his routine, making his belly jiggle like jelly. I don't recall seeing his junk. Maybe it was obscured by all the jelly? (btw, no offense to tubbies. Lord knows I haven't always been slim myself but it's my way of poking fun of and dealing with something I've occasionally waddled through.)
It wasn't something perverted. It was all in good fun. A great end to a raunchy, high-energy show. And that Madame Dish was quite a character!

Since she's an almost big name now...
Jackie Weaver.
What is the nudity in High? Thinking about going with family.

It lasts about three minutes.
*SPOILER* It occurs during a scene where Cody has lapsed and is high on meth. He strips off his clothes and attempts to rape Sister Jamison.
TAKE ME OUT of course (Gene Gabriel and Kohl Sudduth where are you??? The three of us are DESTINED to be each others boy toys!)
Francis Jue in M. BUTTERFLY
Darren Pettie in MILK TRAIN...
Oddly enough, I don't remember a whole lot of others.
Carla Gugino in After the Fall
Emma Williams in Zorro
In both cases facing upstage.
