Synopsis
A contemporary rock musical, Bare follows a group of teens wrestling with issues of identity, sexuality, and religion at a co-ed Catholic boarding school. Bare examines the consequences of baring a soul-or hiding it from those who matter most.

We all know how these sorts of shows go. Teen angst musical – check. Stereotypical characters – check. Cliché and lack lustre performances? Absolutely not.
Despite this story not being terribly unique and certainly not being the best written musical, director Paul Taylor-Mills has turned this potentially 2D show into a production which is definitely worth seeing.

Martin - 2 May 2013:
Saw this last night and absolutely loved it. Having been a fan of the american recording i was worried this wouldn't live up to my expectations but i was completely blown away. Like the review said, the whole cast put their all into the emotion that the piece deserves which really helped bring it to life. The vocals are outstanding, especially from the three male leads who have some pretty tough songs to belt out. Although the focus is on Peter and Jason i think Dale Evans as Matt stole it for me. I loved the intimate feel of the theatre but I would love to see this production go further just to see how it would hold up on a larger stage! Go see it! ...
