The boys are back in town

in the arts
from November 2007

From the producers of the hit European tour, Naked Boys Singing, comes the brand-new musical sensation Get Naked! The Boys Are Back In Town, sending pulses racing and setting stages alight on a 19-date tour across the UK, from October.

Literally comprising a clothes-free chorus-line, this all-new two-hour show swings along from start to finish with music, comedy and (in)decent exposure, as eight naked men take the audience on a journey of exploration of the male body, men’s sense of pride and shame and the way society in general views the masculine physical form.

Producer Mark Vijn says: ‘Generally we hear and read much about the female body. There is much written in popular media about women’s bodies and what it is like to be a woman and indeed there are many theatre shows featuring naked female bodies. What we wanted to do is bring a show to life that centres on the male body and what it is like to be a man. This is not a Chippendales show. Get Naked! is very much about the ordinary, average Joe, his relationship with his body and how that is perceived in wider culture.

‘It’s very much a humorous show, with moments of drama and love, and we fully expect the show to touch a chord with male audience members… hopefully female audiences will leave with a clearer understanding of man’s relationship with his body too”.

Phone: Box Office on 01723 374500
