Thirteen different writers contribute to the production, a celebration of being gay and sexually inclined. While amusing enough on its own terms, the show goes a little limp in the second act. The novelty of the nudity wears thin, and the songs become repetitive. The one serious number, "Window to Window," seems out of place the first time, let alone reprised. Still, the show hovers happily above the merely exploitative, even in a song with the hummable chorus "I beat my meat!"
Trance Thompson and Daniel C. Levine, by the way, win the play's unspoken big-dick contest—both seem to have the largest cast members. Tickets are $45, with up-close seats going for a Broadway-ish $65. It should be noted, however, that none of the actors' penises reach the second row.
