Camp Morning Wood
Reviewed by Dan Dinero
BOTTOM LINE: Just in time for Pride, this new musical manages to have both a ton of naked men AND a plot, not to mention an important message about celebrating one’s body, no matter the size.
Oh, how the gays love their pound (or more) of flesh. It's a well-known trope that any self-respecting gay play will have its share of eye candy...The new musical Camp Morning Wood is meant to be Naked Boys Singing with a plot. But if you’re expecting a deep dive into the contemporary gay milieu, well, read that title again...
