Dennis is joined via Zoom from Puerta Vallarta, Mexico by writer-director-producer Robert Schrock to talk about Naked Boys Singing, the hit musical review he conceived, directed and co-wrote that is celebrating it’s 25th anniversary this year. Robert talks about how he got the original idea, what it was like to cast the show, how soon it would get the cast naked during the rehearsal process and why it was important to feature songs that dealt with serious topics like AIDS and romantic longing in addition to the light-hearted ditties. He also talks about how the show nearly got shut down in Provincetown, Minneapolis and Atlanta and actually did get shut down in Puerto Rico. He also recalls his own naked stint onstage, performing in the New York sensation The Dirtiest Show In Town. Other topics include: the pros and cons of bachelorette party audiences, moving to Mexico after Trump got elected, the onstage beam that had to be incorporated into every show at the Celebration Theater, meeting the original Stonewall protestor Christina Hayworth, taking tap class from Tommy Tune and the Australian Prince Albert that nearly stole the whole show.
