NAKED BOYS SINGING! to Heat Up Rochester This Winter

Downstairs Cabaret Theatre has announce a limited, three-week-only engagement of: Naked Boys Singing!, January 27 - February 14. The American Vaudeville-style review premiered in 1998 and has been "thrilling" audiences both in New York and around the globe ever since.

The six-member cast sings such "cheeky" numbers as "Gratuitous Nudity," "The Bliss of a Bris," "Fight the Urge" and "Perky Little Porn Star." The show is popular with both straight and LGBT audiences alike, as well as "naturists."

This show has a local connection, as the tour is being produced and directed by Honeoye-native Tim Evanicki, a Juilliard alum who now resides in Orlando, FL and runs Tim Evanicki Productions.

"Obviously, the nudity hooks curious audiences into purchasing tickets," he says, "but, after the first song, audiences become so charmed by the show and the songs, they quickly seem to forget the cast is performing naked." Evanicki is no stranger to the Downstairs Cabaret Theatre stage, and has performed in several productions there.

"I'm always excited when I can bring one of my projects home to Rochester," he adds.

Prior to Rochester, the tour enjoyed a completely sold-out run for 5 weeks in Fort Lauderdale, and enjoyed sold-out houses in Atlanta, GA as well.

The touring cast includes Kable Barnhart, Danny Burgos, Tim Garnham, Anthony Massarotto, Stephen Millett and Charles Walljasper Robinson.
