I just remembered another good one - Jay Corcoran in Jerker over at the good ole Sanford Meisner theatre, home for many years of lots of naked gay theatre.

Mr. Corcoran, as I recall, was so asymmetrical down there, when he climbed out of bed and walked downstage, there was a gasp and much whispering.

His co-star, John Finch, although less buff, also looked good.

I thought this thread should come back for Burning, if nothing else.

I saw Jon Groff and Lea Michele in Spring Awakening, and then I saw The Great American Trailer Park Musical locally and Pippi was topless so... technically that counts too, right?

I was at the Seminar matinee this afternoon and I didn't expect there to be nudity. So when Hettiene Park randomly lifted her shirt up within the first five minutes, that really caught me off guard.

After this weekend, add Hunter Foster and most of the cast of Burning at the New Group. Now there was some hilarious nudity; and the simulated sex really was little more than soft-core porn. (Except for Foster's sex scene, which was so obviously not happening.)

It's not often such an awful play can be so diverting.

Neil Patrick Harris in The Paris Letter. He walked out totally nude near the beginning of the play.

Pfft. More interesting question:

Who on this board has BEEN naked on the stage?

Years ago I saw Paul Rudnick's The Naked Eye at A.R.T. The naked man on stage had...how shall I put this...a nakedness that played to the last row of the balcony. I became obsessed with it. I remember 90 minutes of "Is it real? It can't be real? But it looks so...Omigod, it is real." I wonder what the play was about.

I think the only full nudity I've seen on stage has been in various college productions I was either in or saw. Ah, youth...

Did anyone see The Amoralists' 'The Pied Piepers of the Lower East Side' - apparently there was some unsimulated full-mast male nudity in that show. I don't know how an actor could do that night after night, but kudos whoever you are.

I will probably get in trouble but it was the most wonderful and talented Sally Murphy. The show was the Wild Party and I'll never forget I sat there in silent amazement and awe.

Are we talking Full frontel? As in for a women: seeing both top AND Bottom and for a Man: seeing Their fireman. Or just topless or butt action?

*raises hand* I actually played the hustler character, Alex, in The Little Dog Laughed a year ago. Was nude for a minute or so, felt like an eternity. Scary initially, but was actually a really liberating experience.

22 year old Brit actor Richard Allen did full frontal nudity along with James Devlin in a brutal rape scene in our critically acclaimed production of Mysterious Skin in Manchester UK

Wait... Benjamin Walker was nude in Les Liaisons Dangereuses?? Can anyone explain?

[CATSNYrevival]

^The way it was explained to me, he made his entrance from underneath a period skirt and he was totally naked. I'm sooo mad that there seems to be no bootlegs of this production as I missed it.

Wow! He went full frontal? I had no idea...

Oddly, this thread hasn't gotten the tiniest bit less creepy with time...

But thankfully no one has added a ruler and a numeric ranking system. Yet.

C'mon... you can't measure talent with a ruler.

Or creepiness.

I have a funny story about doing the nude scene in CURSE OF THE STARVING CLASS, but it's better in person because, of course, it involves a live sheep.

I'd totally forgotten about Tony Perkins in ROMANTIC COMEDY, and willed myself to forget Brian Charles Rooney in THREEPENNY OPERA and just about everything about BURNING. Saw the usual suspects (Radcliffe, Groff, Michele, Galecki, Orsini, etc.), but perhaps the most unexpected nudity was in the person of Michael Cerveris in IN THE NEXT ROOM OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY. Not at all gratuitous, either. It served the tender, emotionally satisfying conclusion of the play very well.
