The risque off-Broadway cult hit musical revue Naked Boys Singing! comes to DVD as naked as the day it was born: that is, 10 poster-boy handsome lads prance around onstage crooning a dozen-plus songs about gratuitous nudity, the perks of being a porn star, the horror of untimely boners, masturbation, and other male matters of concern, and they're all completely starkers. Well, sometimes hats or bandanas are involved, but the relevant bits are always on full display. The nudity is graphic but completely asexual and thoroughly un-erotic, and the show numbers are far milder than you might expect—or maybe our culture has become so overly sexualized that unless there's actual grunting and thrusting and sweating involved, even naked young men singing about their relationships with their penises seems tame. More adventurous collections will definitely want to consider adding. [Note: DVD extras include a “making-of” featurette with more wanton wangs on display. Bottom line: a small extras package for this adult musical.] (M. Johanson)
