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 Schrock’s 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. Fennessy

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly entertaining and original, November 2, 2007

By	Michael - See all my reviews

I viewed this film today at the Out Takes Dallas Film Festival this evening at the Magnolia Theater. The movie was very entertaining and received a big applause from the audience at the end. The cinematography was well-done and also tastefully done. It was truly an amazing experience to view this film and I recommend it to others who would enjoy a film version of an off-Broadway production with attractive and talented naked young men. I'm hoping an HD-DVD version will be available soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars In many ways, as wonderful as being there in the theatre!, December 5, 2007

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ten Naked Cuties, November 27, 2007

My partner and I saw this show off-Broadway and rolled with EXCITEMENT at all the characters and songs. It's very entertaining to hear a beautiful song by a beautiful actor and then you look down and realize he forgot his pants. Now that is where the extra entertainment comes in. But seriously, it was a great show to see and now that it's coming on DVD we are going to buy it and we recommend it to all. It became a big hit for Bachelorette Parties where all the real girls would go and see it. I knew it would be a hit even though my boyfriend was shy seeing his first nude play. He showed me yesterday and said you were right, "let's order it!" Order today at the low price and soon you'll be sitting back enjoying your own private bare broadway boys.
