Product Description Invite ten gorgeous, talented and intelligent naked men into your living room with this filmed adaptation of the hilarious and risqué Off-Broadway play Naked Boys Singing! This long-running musical review sparkles with seventeen memorable tunes and vibrant dance numbers you'll enjoy over and over again. You'll get a charge from 'Gratuitous Nudity,' 'Perky Little Porn Star' and 'The Naked Maid,' all performed entirely in the nude. Brought to you by the producers of Latter Days and Adam & Steve, this electrifying filmed performance brims with excitement, fervor and sexy boys you won't forget. .com This bawdy burlesque demonstrates the difference between naked and "naked." The musicians of Barenaked Ladies perform fully clothed. The "happy Hollywood hyphenates" of Naked Boys Singing! perform fully un-clothed. In the filmed version of Robert Schrocks enduring revue, a 10-man troupe picks up where The Full Monty left off. First, they shed their clothes as they enter LA's Hayworth Theater. Once on stage, they start the party with the The Chorus Line-like come-on, "Tonight you finally get what you paid for!" Throughout the set, the diverse array of physically fit men wax poetic on topics ranging from nude housekeeping (Kevin Stea's "Naked Maid") to cultural traditions (Joe Souza's "The Bliss of Bris"). A hint of wistfulness aside, like original cast member Vincent Zamora's "Window to Window," the vibe is lighthearted and upbeat. Most of the 16 ditties follow the show-tune template, with the exception of Jaymes Hodges's country-flavored "Nothin' but the Radio On" and Anthony Manough's disco-oriented "Muscle Addiction." (13 writers receive credit, including Bruce Vilanch). Some performances are solo; others include two or more participants, like locker room lament "Fight the Urge" and opening salvo "Gratuitous Nudity." Gay-friendly and body-positive, Naked Boys Singing! embodies truth in advertising. The show was recorded in front of a live audience and the entire repertoire--except Jason Currie's soft-shoe "Robert Mitchum"--features full-frontal nudity. Taking into account the options of "pause" and "zoom," a behind-the-scenes documentary offers an additional advantage over the in-the-flesh viewing experience. --Kathleen C.

Naked Boy watching
What can I say? I loved this video. I had heard of the play from someone I know who had seen it. If you are gay or a straight woman, you will love this. The men are great eye candy and they can also sing and dance. I particularly liked Perky Little Porn Star. That guy is young and hot and he could also sing very well. The Naked Maid was also a highlight. Who I'm kidding? I'm gay and you will get what you paid for as the opening number proclaims, if you buy this. I have watched it several times and let me boyfriend watch it. He had the same reaction I had of shock. I wish there would be a sequel. Also, I would love to see this in person, up close and personal. The music is funny and touching in places and those guys did have a lot of nerve to do this. The gay man in me wonders if any of them hooked up afterwards. If you are a straight man, you probably will not like this unless you are curious. The fight the urge number I could really identify with. If you are gay and had locker room situations in your youth, you will as well. Beat your meat number about masturbation is hilarious. Of course if you have a TV that is capable of different views and close-ups, freeze frame on DVD, you will enjoy this all the more.I highly recommend this. This should be in every gay man's video cabinet.

In many ways, as wonderful as being there in the theatre!
I saw this live in NYC about 3-4 years ago. I was so enamored with the music and singing that I very nearly forgot the singers were often stark naked! There was great risk in trying to take an excellent play and putting it on film. However, I'm happy to report that this DVD did not disappoint!All of the songs are here, and one new song. Many of the songs were slightly reworked, all for the better! Each time, the change seemed to play to the musical strength of the particular performer. Where the cameras could add depth and dimension, it did. However, the DVD version managed to remain true to to the Musical Revue genre of a Stage Show.As a music freak, I can say that some of the chorus pieces lacked some of the well-balanced, locked sound that I saw in NYC a few years ago. However, I don't think most people will notice. The solos are outstanding and many of the pieces actually have been reworked to have more harmony than before.Oh yeah, and the naked guys are pretty good, too!Buy with confidence! It's a good one.

Boring, horrible
Boring, horrible, cliche, definitely NOT sexy. Exactly what I expected before I read all the favorable reviews. I wondered how so many people could be wrong - but then lots of people voted for Trump. Trust your first instincts. Don't waste your time on this drivel. I watched the first number in entirety and then rapidly skimmed through the rest. If you're a tired queen maybe you will love it.

funny, touching, and erotic...
My reason for the four star instead of five, is because a couple songs are so powerful they almost make me cry, other than that, I love it. The guys are beautiful, the songs are good, some you could dance to, almost anyone can relate to them, unless you're ultraconservative. The film and songs are very well done, some will make you laugh, some may make you cry, it's thought provoking and heartwarming too. You don't have to be gay to enjoy it, but it does't hurt. Seeing it in this format works if you can't afford/make it to the play, this is definately owner's material.

Boring Set, Mostly Unattractive Guys, Amateurish Filming
This is okay. The lyrics were clever and it was fun to watch a bunch of naked guys singing and dancing. But, the set is boring (it’s set on a stage with occasional pans of the audience), the “cinematography” is amateur, and 90% of the guys aren’t attractive, and even are downright gross.

Clever and clean
"Naked Boys Singing" was a genuine surprise. I ordered it for the obvious reasons. However, it proves to be a delightful and extremely clever revue. Most of the singing is good, the dancing is excellent, and the performers are all attractive, although obviously not trying to compete with the Hollywood "pretty boy" image. Don't buy this DVD if you're looking for porno. After the first shock of ten good bodies appearing without clothes, the nudity seems somehow rather innocent and natural--not at all suggestive or smutty. In no way do the performers seem to by trying to "turn on" the audience. Granted some of the words are rather suggestive, but not the performers or their actions. I would recommend this DVD for anyone who had a healthy attitude toward nudity and a good sense of humor (actually a couple of the portions are very moving); strangely,if one has an open mind and carefully listens to the words, it is actually easy to almost forget about the nudity! Highly recommended for anyone who isn't afraid to view healthy nudity and has an open mind about gay emotions.
