the titular song from bare the musical. also know as the song to tear the audience apart.

everyone go thank cory for this.

everyone wants to play moritz, and everyone wants to play peter

but only taylor trensch can do that

thanks for the insight. i’ll edit my post!

i had actually heard rumors through the grapevine that theatrical rights worldwide was anticipating it closing. and around a year ago i was told by directly by a producer that the plan for bare was a revisal off broadway, and a spring 2013 transfer to broadway. many believed bare didn’t originally succeed off broadway was because spring awakening sort of needed to pave the way for teenage-angst rock musicals. bare closing after a short period, with no transfer or significant ticket sales, and a really disappointing review is why i sort of believed it be not a success.

the show was hugely promoted in all sorts of outlets; and in no way did i feel like it was specifically marketed as an off-broadway show. seeing the show i even felt it needed a larger space, and the production value seemed to minimal at times for me.

my last point in this weird inappropriate and likely not factual rant, is that taylor had been cast in matilda, and i don’t suppose replacing the lead (and often the strongest aspect in the show) three months into the run seemed like a optimal choice.

when you say it has succeeded more than any prior incarnation, i would argue that a production simply has never had so much backing before.
yet i’m open for discussion, and correction.

what confuses me about the transfer of peter and the starcatcher is that new world stages has 5 theatres, only four of which are currently occupied. and if any would close in the near future i would immediately look at forever dusty, which has not at all made the splash bare has. nowhere have i seen it specifically mention peter is taking bare’s spot, though we’ll know in a month or so.

i am very jealous that you are seeing it closing night, it should be a rocking performance.
thanks for the message, hope to hear from you again anon.

does that say taylor trensch or am i dreaming?

taylor trensch, of bare is going to be in matilda; and that means he has to leave bare sometime in january/february for rehearsal. the show starts previews in march.

bare is pretty much nothing without taylor trensch right now, therefore bare is probably closing in january.

this makes me sad.

to say it simply:
this show better be fucking kick ass.

i’m not excited about this cast yet.
but i can’t wait to see this show on stage.

bare: a pop opera
Are You There with Wes Taylor

when i met wes taylor i told him he should absolutely be in bare, and he was like “oh yeah i’ll just call them up…”

a boy can dream, can’t he?

there can never be too much bare on my blog.

it’s one of my favorite musicals.

everyone should go listen to it.

bare: a pop opera, off-Broadway.

i can’t wait to see this show again in november. i hope the changes they have made make it better. even if it’s not an opera anymore i’m sure this show will still be fantastic.
i hope everyone reading this understands what i’m saying.

someone recently tried to tell me that bare was “just some story about gayboys”
someone recently became my least favorite person.

”Role of a Lifetime” - Bare: a Pop Opera

i’m deeply obsessed with this show. i want to be in it, i don’t relate to it much, but the music is beautiful and the story makes me heart filled with emotion.
