* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The musical tends to get overhyped for featuring "real on-stage frontal nudity!" As if there'd be an entire song and dance number with everyone completely naked. But all we see is one guy pulls his pants down and we can see the side of his ass, and the girl unbuttons the top of her dress. Plus they're in the missionary position so we can't really get a good look at any naughty bits anyways, so it's sort of ridiculous.
** Hanschen does turn around and pull his shorts down in the revival during Totally Fucked, though.
