When we did Naked Boys Singing! at Theatre Rhino in 2000, Arturo - TopicsExpress



          

When we did Naked Boys Singing! at Theatre Rhino in 2000, Arturo Galster had the odd task of performing a reverse striptease, getting dressed to the somewhat maudlin Kris, Look What You Missed, and making the audience cry every single night (after an opening number that promised no AIDS drama). One night there was an audible gasp for breath and then a pronounced sob at the end where someone lost it on the final notes. I had the next number and the challenge of bringing the audience back with more wakka wakka wakka were naked singing Showtunes! schtick. I always marveled at his ability to rise above the mediocre material and still give a devastating performance. When given good material, stand back. He had no equal.
