I saw him (and others) nude at the foundry when they did All-Male Peep Show last season. The nudity did not disappoint!!! I read this upcoming play, and unless they stray from the script, the nudity will be super brief. Definitely go see it though. All of the shows are outstanding! I have my ticket already!
I saw this show at Lincoln Center in 2008. Linda Lavin was in the cast. Mike Doyle from Law and Order played Shane. He was fully nude in that production.
