American Idol contestant David Hernandez, who starred in the Las Vegas production of Naked Boys Singing!, will return to the musical revue that celebrates male nudity when it reopens Off-Broadway starting March 18 at the AMT Theater. It plays Saturdays only.
Additional casting for the musical will be announced at a later date.
Hernandez gained national attention when he was eliminated from the seventh season of American Idol when his past as a stripper came to light. He subsequently released the hit single “Beautiful,” and his latest recording is titled Don’t @ Me.
The original Off-Broadway production, which opened July 22, 1999, at the Actors Playhouse, played a total of 3,069 performances at various venues around the city, including New World Stages, Theatre 4, The John Houseman Theater, the 47th Street Theatre, and the Julia Miles Theatre.

I just saw an add for Waiting In The Wings off bway and thought it was a photo from Naked Boys. Anyone hear anything about it?
The ad states brief rear nudity.
Saw this evening…….meh, don’t waste your money. Glad I had a discount ticket from TDF. First of all, David Hernandez is no longer in this production – if he ever was???? This production is about as pared down as it can get and still charge admission. Reminded me of the plays I did in the backyard as kid and used a sheet as a curtain. When I first saw this play decades ago there were 8 naked boys – one my favorite scenes was when an audience “plant” was taken from his seat and stipped on stage. The last NYC production had, I think, 6 boys. This show had 4. Less than an hour and zero props. Theater still filled with giddy girls.
David Hernandez was in the show but only until April 29th, when I saw it a few weeks ago there were five guys on stage, I guess they are downsizing even more. Soon it will be Naked Boy Singing lol
