"The Full Monty" was an entertaining movie, and I'm sure the play is entertaining too, but we're not exactly talking about Shakespeare here. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;What's funny is the idea of people  prancing around naked on stage in Reston. That's something you don't see in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" or your typical community theater fare. More power to them for taking a creative risk -- but if they're going to show some skin, they need to get thicker skin.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6412900754136064810/3899119095643182251/comments/default/8507771904395781355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6412900754136064810/3899119095643182251/comments/default/8507771904395781355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.restonian.org/2009/03/restons-vibrant-cultural-scene-nekkid.html?showComment=1237215120000#c8507771904395781355' title=''/><author><name>Crazy Like a Fox Mill</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.restonian.org/2009/03/restons-vibrant-cultural-scene-nekkid.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-3899119095643182251' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6412900754136064810/posts/default/3899119095643182251' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-392221929'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-3739637879286596453</id><published>2009-03-16T10:46:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-16T10:46:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>All I can say is VA is a blue state now.

See the movie or listen to the music or learn something about it before you dismiss it out of hand.  Barbershop quartets are also cool -- in fact, The Full Monty and barbershop quartets share a similar male musical-bonding spirit.
