Today, a movie performed in the nude.

Actually, a long running stage show refitted for the DVD. With very little embellishment. Get it? Little embellishment.

What I mean is that it is the show and the show and the performers from the show which has been done live in many cities for many years by many many male singer/dancers and as far as I know it is still running in off the main road places. But I doubt it. I think that it has had to run its course by now.

Wait!

Stop the press!

It is still running off Broadway in NYC at the Kirk Theater.

This is a show based on the standard musical review format. Nothing new there. The talent is quite good at singing and dancing. Nothing new there. They are quite good looking. Not new either. And we get to see all of them! New. Definitely new.

Some of the tunes and lyrics are so good that they will bring tears. While the audience is quite mixed in age and gender it is obviously a gay show from the very start. Men hug, kiss, admire each others' anatomy. All of it.

But it goes down quite smoothly I think (!?) because the show is funny, wise, pointed and topical.

It moves. Not a single moment lags.

And finally, the men while attractive are quite "normal". That is, the bodies while athletic, they are dancers, are not extraordinary and the male equipment ranges in size and conformity across a wide range. No man should feel inadequate watching this. There is one set of genitals in their somewhere that are just like yours.

The usual seems to occur, just an expert observation. The littlest and skinniest guys have the biggest dicks. Why is that?

One thing I like about this show is that it confronts its main criticism straight on. The first number is called Gratuitous Nudity which this obviously is and those of us who wish to say it get called out right away.

And, there are many scenes with the bodies clothed, wisely observing the fact that continuous nudity is boring and not very interesting. It is at its best when it is shown a little at a time. Gypsy Rose Lee (look it up) knew this and kept a career as a stripper going for many years after her prime.

She sold it, bit by bit.
