Naked Boys Singing 2009 is a perfectly proportioned, 65 minute review featuring seven good-looking and talented male actors celebrating the glories of the naked male body through a series of catchy, pithy cabaret numbers both funny and poignant.
Naked Boys Singing has become a worldwide phenomenon with productions in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Ft. Lauderdale, Houston, Portland, Provincetown, Philadelphia, Boston, Vancouver, New Orleans, Washington D.C., Sao Paulo, Rome, Sydney, Oslo and Cape Town!
The long running New York production of Naked Boys Singing is equally popular with gay and straight audiences and its famous fans include Ricki Lake, Harvey Fierstein, Molly Ringwald, Deborah Gibson, Betty Buckley, Bernadette Peters and 55 members of the NYPD.
Between them, the cast of Naked Boys Singing 2009 range from National Theatre veterans to performers with national tour experience and Duncan Leighton, who makes his professional debut in this production.
