Naked Boys Singing! Reviews
Chicago Reader- Somewhat Recommended
"...Book writer Robert Schrock's risque camp and commentary on LGBT culture feel firmly planted in 1998, when the revue first appeared off-Broadway, and the cast's voices work better as an ensemble than individually, but jokes like Danny Bradley's "Perky Little Porn Star" and some more vulnerable numbers from Wesley Dean Tucker hold up as good, wholesome, R-rated fun."
Windy City Times- Highly Recommended
"...The Eclectic Theatre Company, though not precisely a gay-focused troupe, demonstrated its embrace of the short-arms-inspection aesthetic in its 2014 production of Richard Greenberg's Take Me Out. Under the direction of David Belew, with continuity assistance provided by Jessica Lauren Fisher's compact choreography and Ty Miles' agile piano bridges, the ensemble currently occupying the front studio at Theater Wit ( next door to About Face's Bright Half Life, coincidentally ) display warmth and congeniality in quantities sufficiently abundant to put us at our ease immediately and keep us there."
Chicago Theatre Review- Recommended
"...David Belew and his creative team have done an excellent job of making this musical revue as entertaining as possible. It's a titillating show, cast with talented singer/dancers. Belew moves his production along at a comfortable pace, never allowing his cast to wallow in salaciousness but making sure that patrons hear and process every naughty joke and double-entendre. Micky York has guided the boys to hit all the right notes, while Jessica Lauren Fisher keeps the guys' choreography challenging, yet never beyond their ability. The result is a harmlessly risque Vaudeville-style revue, that just happens to be performed totally in the nude. It's an agreeable, alluring evening of adult entertainment that doesn't take itself seriously. This show won't change the world, but it's a tantalizing Summer entertainment for audiences eager for something raw and a little bit naughty."

"...The show leaves the audience wishing and hoping that the entire cast will end up at a local bar talking and laughing and hoping they could join them. It is an engaging and enthralling evening of theatre that keeps the audience captivated."
