The show opened
off-Broadway at the
Actors' Playhouse on July 22, 1999, with book and direction by
Robert Schrock, musical direction by
Stephen Bates, and choreography by
Jeffry Denman, originally produced by
Jamie Cesa,
Jennifer Dumas,
Hugh Hayes,
Tom Smedes, and
Carl D. White. The show transferred to Theatre Four in March 2004, and gained attention when producers offered discounts to those attending the
2004 Republican National Convention. Productions of
Naked Boys Singing! have been performed throughout the United States, with international shows in Norway, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Japan, Italy, South Africa, and Australia. Shortly after the original off-Broadway production closed, Producer/Directors Tom and Michael D'Angora decided to transfer their Provincetown adaption of
Naked Boys Singing! to the off-Broadway stage, with a revival at
Theatre Row's Kirk Theatre on April 5, 2012. A production at the
Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas opened in September 2021. ==Synopsis==
