I never thought there'd be a day that I said this, but it looks like there is a stage adaptation of A Clockwork Orange on Broadway in New York City, and it's most likely going to be full of boner-inducing chiseled bodies. I know. I'm surprised, too. The all-male cast seems to have one major goal in mind: to leave us scared, confused (in several places on our bodies), yet overall entertained at the end of it all.

The play, which is based on the book by Anthony Burgess and the 1971 movie adaptation of the same name, takes us through a whirlwind of drug use, some murder, prison time, and more - all while the actors show off more than their acting chops and singing voices. Jonno Davies, who played the sacrificial Lee in 2014's Kingsman: The Secret Service, plays the lead role of Alex De-Large.
The cast is seen throughout the play in various states of undress, which leads the audience down a path of skin-to-skin, sweaty adventures. The show is already receiving rave reviews from critics, but it doesn't change the fact that no one saw this coming. Maybe that's part of its charm?
