The opening to the book Making it on Broadway,gives a small insight into what is needed to be on broadway. The book opens with Haleey, an actor that is playing the role of a stripper in a show, but is having trouble with her choreography. In the scene she's prepping for she is trying to suduce a man, so to get her into character her choreographer orders her to strip. In doing this she is in a sense transformed in the character, trying to suduce a man for a living understanding her movements and body language towards the man.
Being completely nude in front of other is kind of a taboo for many people, but when being in theater it cant be. In this business a person is literally selling themselves, what else is there. When auditioning an actor needs to basically lay it all on the table and being comfortable with the body is key. Many Broadway shows have nudity in them like Hair, Spring Awakening (Sex Scene), Full Monty, and many more. Imagine if some got casted for a role that has a nude scene but wasn't ok with nudity. They would be replaced. There is a saying "Actors dont say NO they get Replaced."
Can actors have "Limits"?
If so what can they be, in Spring Awakening there is a Sex scene?
