Hotness: A Chorus (Line) Boy

I know that I've been ragging on Broadway queers a lot lately and it probably sounds like I have a hatred for all things theater, but that's really not the case. I have a very deep respect for anyone with talent and therefore nothing but love for the people that are up on stage performing. What annoys me is the overabundance of mediocrity in terms of stage talent that haunts the bars and clubs of this our fair city. I've always believed that anyone who wishes to pursue any form of artistic career needs to get real with themselves about the level of their talent at a certain point in their formative years. Anyway, this isn't supposed to be a rant, so I'll move on.

What I AM here to do is show my appreciation for a couple Broadway-related items, so let's get moving, shall we?.

Firstly, this is Nick Adams:

Yeah.

Oh my Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all the Saints.

How come I never see this one at all the "trendy" bars?

Nick is currently playing Larry in A Chorus Line on Broadway. He's also the new face of uber-gay underwear brand 2(x)ist, a gig which was supposedly going to go to his co-star Mario Lopez before the company changed their minds and went with Nick instead. Major burn for Mario, but that guy's kind of a douchebag anyway. He'll take off his clothes for anyone (and he does) if it'll help keep is sinking career afloat for a little longer. Mario is reportedly such a diva that he's trying to get Nick's costume changed so that his arms and shoulders are covered so that he can't upstage him. Fuck that. You go Nick!

2(x)ist's creative director had this to say about the situation: "Nick's very masculine, sexy, modern. It's totally all about his body. Mario is a good-looking guy, but Nick had it. He's up and coming, the new face of sexy. He's original. He's hot."

Yeah. I mean Mario Lopez is hot and all, but if I had to choose between him and Nick I'd push Mario down a flight of stairs and take a running leap at Nick. I kid you not. At least we know this one definitely plays for our team.

Here's Nick getting his udder milked (literally) at last year's Broadway Bares:




Item number 2 is this fun little video that Cheyenne Jackson and the boys of Xanadu made with Nathan Lane in order to demonstrate that their musical isn't too gay to win the Tony. It's as funny as it is delicious. Enjoy.



Cheers Queers,
