And they said this thread would never last!
It's the only thread with any significant meaning.
Don't forget all the boys (and girls) at Broadway Bares!

I apologize for bringing this thread back, but I'm curious: has anyone won a Tony for a role where he or she appears naked on stage?
Also, maybe off-topic, but what about an Oscar?
Oscar is easy-- Kate Winslet for The Reader.
Also Charlize Theron for Monster, Halle Berry for Monster's Ball, Hillary Swank for Boys Don't Cry. The list goes on.
Thanks. I guess that's because female nudity is not uncommon in films.
Jennifer Ehle in THE COAST OF UTOPIA.
Maxwell Caulfield in ENTERTAINING MR. SLOANE
I don't remember Richard Gere taking his clothes off in BENT, as someone posted.
In addition to Jennifer Ehle, Stephen Spinella also was naked in his Tony-winning role.
Tony nominees who did not win include Toni Collette in The Wild Party, Daniel Sunjata in Take Me Out, and Ben Daniels in Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
Did Nathan Lane win for Love Valour Compassion?
Nathan wasn't even nominated for that one, but the only nudity he did was a flash of derriére, and the group skinny dip behind a scrim in very dim light at the very end. I don't call that nudity.
Just saw Naked Boys Singing 2 weeks ago.

In the Elephant Man revival, Kate Burton displayed surprisingly perky boobs for a woman of her age.
In most productions (including the original), the scene is done with the actress' back to the audience.
I've seen naked on stage...
Johnny Galecki
Daniel Radcliff
Edie Falco
Stanley Tucci
Jennifer Tilly
Marin Mazzie, Vanessa Redgrave, and the Take Me Out and Love, Valour boys (most memorably, Daniel Sunjata and Justin Kirk, but for quite different reasons)

I have quite a long list... Though Stanley Tucci is the one that always comes to mind for me. Stan's the man!!!
Quite a few Spring Awakening boobs and butts.
Original 'Hair' cast from the recent revival.
And quite a few too many Princetons and Kate Monsters.

It was the London production I saw and Will Swenson had left by then. I presume he would've though.
A lot of the ones mentioned here already, but also, Euan Morton.

Re Swenson, yes he did, at least in London.

In the New York production, Will Swenson did bare all at the end of the first act. However, he was standing at the rear of the stage and under very dim lighting. So, you really didn't get to see much (RATS!!!!).
Michael Urie in Angels in America.
