The King’s Head Theatre‘s productions of Naked Boys Singing and F**king Men — will transfer together next month to the West End’s Arts Theatre, where they will start preview performances on July 7. Both works, which will play in repertory, are directed by Phil Willmott.

A long-running New York hit, Naked Boys Singing was first seen in London at Madame JoJo’s in Soho in 2001. This new production, which started at the King’s Head in May, has been specifically reshaped for London audiences by Willmott. The 65-minute musical comedy revue celebrating the glories of the male body features 17 songs by 13 writers performed by seven good-looking actors — in the nude. The cast includes Stephen Butler, Duncan Leighton, David Lucas, Adam Mendlesohn, Matthew Russell-Jones, Nathan Taylor, and Joe Van Haeften. The production has musical direction by Elliot Davis and choreography by Andrew Wright.

F**king Men. which is written by Joe DiPietro , focuses on 10 men searching for love, sex and intimacy. The cast includes Stewart Alexander, Stephen Billington, Scott Capurro, Matthew Clancy, Dan Ford, James Kristian, Timothy Lone, Shai Matheson, Patrick Poletti, Chris Polick, and Adam Unze.
