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

Rating: - Just Completely Fantastic
This was a fantastic video! It was very entertaining. Had very nice looking guys, good setting. Nicely done. Unfortunately there were no erections and of course no ejaculation. It was very clean soft porn but very much worth watching. The behind the scenes were VERY DISAPPOINTING, there was no nudity and when they did show nudity it was blotted out! So expect nudity only in the main video and that is all. Don't expect anything special after that. I am always disappointed in videos that refuse to show any erections.
Rating:  - Even better than I expected
In theatre those who can act, sing and dance are caled "triple threats" and often find work when others can not. These "Naked Boys Singing" are "Quadruple Threats" because although we see little of their acting, they can certainly sing, dance and look great doing it!
The voices are all strong (as are the bodies) and the songs are well written and witty, plus a couple that are poignant, and anyone who appreciates musical theatre and the beauty of the male form will certainly enjoy this film. I highly recommend watching the included extra features and learning more about the history of the show, how it was made and all the very talented men who made it possible both on camera and off.
This is one DVD that I will watch over and over and over.
Rating:  - Nothing to see
Their gimmick is that they're naked. That's it. The songs are lame too. Ok, the song "Nothing but the Radio on" is clever, but that's only a couple of minutes in an entire show. Really not worth buying or even renting.
Rating: - Nake fun
Not your typical musical... Jason Currie definitely carries this one. After the first three numbers, you don't even think about the actors being naked.
Rating:  - Well, I don't TOTALLY regret buying this...
This film does indeed deliver what its' title says. It is an amalgam of men (not the off-putting "boys") singing mostly clever songs in mostly adequate voices. The guys are cute and unself-conscious, but lack a certain genuine connection at many points of the show. Some were misused in certain numbers. Attractive guy+ Good voice doesn't automatically = a good casting fit. I liked this DVD overall, and recommend it ...ultimately.
