We won’t see “bare” in Cincinnati till April, when Know promises the regional preem, but at least you can give a listen.

All about "the pains and pleasures of five high school seniors at a co-ed Catholic boarding school as they struggle to grow up in these complicated, conflicted, contemporary times" (that's from press materials) the three-disc cast album is released Oct. 30 after many delays.

 

"The mostly sung-through show seemed to come out of nowhere….Its collaborators were twentysomethings new to the American musical theater scene. The original show they created in "bare" might be thought of as a merging of "Rent" and "Dead Poets Society" but set in a Catholic boarding school." (That's from Playbill Online.)

 

The three-disc set includes two of the recording and the third is a “making of” DVD. The singers on the studio recording include CCM grad Kiarran Giovanni. All info is at www.barethealbum.com.
