I saw it on Sat night at 6. It started at 6:05 and was over at 7:12.
By the way, they are now in Dodger Stage Theater #4. The same one as the Altar Boyz.
That was quite a mess. When we got tickets at the box office, we were told it was open seating because of the change of theaters. Their system was not updated and was giving out tickets with the old seats (since altar boyz theater has seats 101 -120 in the center and theater 5 (old only used 1 -20, this was problem. So, open seating it was. Until you got into the theater and the ushers were trying to seat you where they were told to seat you. Well all hell was breaking loose. Finally the house manager came in a said they did not tell you that at the box office. Well a lot of people told him otherwise, and it became open seating.
My BF highly enjoyed the show, I thought it was good.

Bundles, you can buy a rush ticket for around $20 or so a couple hours before the show. I've also seen discount tickets. the show is about an hour. they have no set, so moving into stage 4 overnight was not difficult, except for the seating. it's not the house manager's fault that the Box Office did not print out new tickets. He and the ushers did the best they can.
The audiences are made up of about half gay men and half large parties of bachelorettes (usually quite loud). Occasionally there is a straight couple.
No comment on the show.

Posted: 2/6/06 at 8:17pmI did an interview with several cast members for BWW. It's called "Naked Boys Chatting" and is archived here at the site.

Actually, I do blame the house manager and the usher. First of all the usher was very unfriendly and basically told us we were lying, as did the house manager. They did not even for a moment consider that the box office was selling the tickets as open seating. Once they talked to the box office and made it open seating, they did not even offer an applogy. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I saw the show a few years ago when it was in the Village. I enjoyed it. The nudity was nudity, so what. Most of the cast were gay males but one was straight. After the show the gay cast hung around out in front of the theatre but the straight male took off in a flash. I don't think he was as comfortable with his own nudity as the others.
I remember a touching love song in it; I think it's sung in a bathrobe. And there's a good song and dance opening number; might be something like "Gratuitous Nudity." Frankly, men running around with their clothes off is not a big deal. It's been my experience that men are always wanting to toss off their clothes at the slightest excuse, even when you'd much prefer they keep them on.

It's definitely a fun show and audiences have a great time. "Kris, Look What You Missed" is the only number that really has no place in the show and grinds the momentum to a screeching halt, but it recovers quickly.
Where's my fellow Naked Boy, Bobby? I know he would recommend it as well.
