Boys in the Buff
Words and Music by Chris Burgess
Golden Goose Theatre 10 Dec 2025 – 10 Jan 2026
“A riotous evening of fun, flesh and fabulous song.”
Have you ever felt judged for not having the right body shape? Too fat? Too thin?
Never exercise? Our photo-shopped world is not always kind. Diana and her boys
sing, dance and tell stories about self-confidence, body image, and society’s
unreasonably high expectations on our appearance, sharing personal stories and
daring each other to reveal more and more of themselves. As they explore their
bodies they discover 101 ways to look fabulous.
With a strong cast who act, sing and dance, Boys in the Buff explores body
image and how we interact in modern society. An inspirational evening of musical
comedy celebrating bodies of all shapes and sizes!
