Le monde des musicals

'Bare, a Pop Opera' est un musical qui raconte l'histoire de deux lycéens, Peter Simonds et Jason McConnell, et leurs problèmes dans leur lycée privé catholique. Peter est un homosexuel sensible qui essaie de réconcilier sa foi et sa sexualité. Un jour, ses camarades dénoncent son homsexualité durant une messe. Mais, en fait, ce n'était qu'un cauchemard. Il est amoureux de Jason, son camarade de chambre. Jason veut que leur relation reste secrète mais Peter veut être plus ouvert …

Un musical culte, qui n'a été joué que fort peu de temps mais a son lot de fans, bien au-delà des homosexuels.
