Saw this show in Chicago twice and had to have this disc. After several months of waiting I finally was able to purchase this LA Cast recording. The wait was worth it. These guys are really fine singers and convey the electricity of the show superbly. The musical numbers range from solos to chorus pieces and are accompanied by a fabulous piano player. The variety of songs is great too; they are funny, raunchy and touching. If you saw the show you can actually visualize the action that took place. Recording quality is clear and upfront. Would love to see Naked Boys Singing! make it to video and DVD, woof!!. Highly recommended. Warning: Explicit language.

For a change, this disk bettered in many ways the performance of NBS! I saw in the Village in NYC. Perhaps without the visual distractions, one can concentrate on / appreciate the wry humor and pointed insights that abound in the lyrics. Every song on this disk diplays a strong performance, much talent, good to excellent singing and excellent sound engineering at the recording studio. In fact, given the scattershot review style of NBS!, one can certainly enjoy and appreciate this disk without ever having seen the show. Get a copy soon!

The LA cast of this show was recruited when a gay theatre found itself in dire financial straits, The Celebration. They figured musicals sell well and so does nudity, so why not a naked musical? Well, the show does nicely on CD...despite the absence of any nudity it makes for a very catchy listenable collection of songs...And you get to hear the guys perform songs that were written for them, so you get the best performances of these songs to date! Grab a copy of this one! It's the musical that you'll wish you could see! And if you have seen it...then it will keep the show running through your head.
This is a show that holds up well (no pun there) on CD. It's a testament to clever songwriting, solid musical direction, and a cast that is up to the challenge of bringing the material to life.
