Bare: A Pop Opera

[3] On July 6, 2017, Bare made its premiere in Brighton, an established LGBTQ destination nicknamed the "unofficial gay capital of the UK".

[4] Produced by Brief Hiatus, this production was directed by Conor Baum with choreography by Sarah-Leanne Humphreys, receiving critical acclaim.

Community organizations focusing on LGBTQ+ support and suicide prevention were in attendance each performance to provide statistics and education to the audience prior to each show.

At St. Cecilia's Boarding School, Peter dozes off during Mass and has a nightmare in which he is outed as gay and condemned by everyone ("Epiphany").

Lucas, the school's party boy, organizes a trip to a rave, bringing ecstasy and other drugs ("Wonderland").

At rehearsal, Matt abandons the script and tackles Jason, calling him a homophobic slur ("Reputation Stain'd").

While Peter and Matt pine for their respective loves and Nadia wishes to be noticed, Jason sleeps with Ivy, hoping it is the right thing to do ("One").

Later, class ranks are posted and Jason has achieved the valedictorian spot, once again besting Matt ("In the Hallway").

Claire hangs up, shaken at the confirmation of her fears, but eventually recognizes that her love for him is stronger than her religious objections ("Warning").

She later finds Jason practicing his graduation speech and tells him that she is pregnant and still hopes he might learn to love her back.

Backstage before the play, Lucas passes out drug orders to students, including Jason.

Peter confronts the priest about Jason's last visit, accusing him of failing to show compassion ("Absolution").

† Cut from the 2004 Off-Broadway production and replaced with "Love, Dad" ‡ Replaced "Mother Love" from the 2000 Los Angeles production[15][8] An 11-song CD sampler featuring the 2004 New York cast was offered to every ticket buyer during the final performances of the Off-Broadway run.

The full studio album from Bare, produced by Deborah Lurie and Casey Stone, was released on October 30, 2007, as a three-disc CD + DVD set.

[16] This, however, did not occur due to the quick closing of the revival amid poor reviews and public response.

On January 2, 2018, it was announced that Bare would be made into a motion picture, directed by Kristin Hanggi and produced by Hillary Butorac Weaver and Janet Billig Rich.
