Everyone knows that nudity is only natural, and as an impressive cast of actors, singers, and dancers including Kevin Stea, Jason Currie, Phong Truong, Joseph Keane, Andrew Blake, Anthony Manough, and original cast member Vincent Zamora drop their drawers to perform such sings as "Fight the Urge," "Nothin' But the Radio On," and "Robert Mitchum," home viewers can finally find out firsthand what all the fuss and fun is about. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Without the nakedness it wouldn't be as entertaining. The numbers were good, loved the simple plot, but I think the nakedness is unnecessary. HOWEVER, the biggest downfall of this... musical is the vulgar humour that is not very funny at all.

    If there every was a time when I said "There's 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back" it was after watching Naked Boys Singing. The description here says that it was nominated for Best Musical by a couple of places I had never heard of, but it is quite obvious where the rev... read moreiewers' minds were. They certainly were not paying attention to the music (it was ok), dancing (white boys can't dance) and singing (dreadful!)
    It should be re-named Narcissism On Stage. The only reason these men were cast is their own need to show it all. Having been in vocal music since junior high, I know very well what NOT to do, and these guys did it all.
    Nearly all the songs dealt with nudity and what gay men like to do when they are naked (the list is quite limited).
    One song, "Muscle Audition", was an painfully poor stab at recreating The Village People's "YMCA" and "Macho Man".
    Other songs were full of double entendres, specifically to put the viewers' minds in the gutter. "Beat My Meat"? The butcher blocks, with mallets and stage prop steaks at the very end of the song were unbearable.
    One number over used the term "dick-tionary" and a good portion of it was a round of all the different synonyms for the word 'penis'.
    Very junior high level humor and not very funny. Bad singing.
    Paying money to see "Naked Boys Singing" on stage is a way for people who want to watch a strip show, but want to justify it by saying "It's art!"

    Very entertaining even if it didn't have the nakedness! Worth renting and I don't know if it is worth buying yet.

    granted there was gratuitous nudity ( a couple of the guys were hot) i was not too impressed with this show. don't get me wrong, i liked it but was not that crazy about it. the song beat my meat was pretty good and there were a few others...but, don't get your hopes up on this on... read moree...it will leave you soft

    I would have rather seen a flick about naked boys in sports. Entertainig little film - some of the songs seemed dated to me. Had to give it another half star because of the tight butts. Phong is a sweety.

    Put your cursor on the poster to see the "plot". It's not really about being naked as much as personal acceptance of who you are. Some fun, some good music, some eye candy (obviously), and only one "borderline" song (still fun). Good addition to our collection. You might like it ... read moretoo.

Naked Boys live are a hoot. Frozen on celluloid, they're tacky. Full Review

The songs generally are quite fun, with the contributing stamp of famed comedy writer Bruce Vilanch quite evident. And the strong-voiced performers deliver them in engaging fashion.

It's obviously not for all tastes, but there's going to be an appreciative audience for any musical whose opening number is 'Gratuitous Nudity.' Full Review

In Naked Boys Singing! 10 grown men (including one natural redhead) go full monty while belting out show tunes and high-kicking like muscular Rockettes.

the whole exercise can't help but feel a bit zoological, as if we're watching exotic specimens on display. Full Review

Few of the songs, which range from gleefully raunchy to gratingly sentimental, are truly memorable. Full Review

Naked Boys Singing! is the biggest waste of d**k since Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain. Full Review

A restaged version of the long-running Off-Broadway revue of the same title, Naked Boys Singing delivers exactly what it promises. Full Review

Brian Orndorf, eFilmCritic.com

It's an unexpectedly boisterous, giddy show kicking down the taboo of the male body with a collection of toe-tappin' songs and enough full frontal to power 300 consecutive bachelorette parties. Full Review

Handled matter-of-factly, the ubiquitous nudity becomes the norm ... and the music takes the spotlight ... it's here where the show becomes a matter of taste. Full Review
