STAGE

“Oh! Calcutta!” will be baring all for the last time. Broadway’s long-running nude revue will close Aug. 6 after a run of 5,959 performances, executive producer Maria Di Dia has announced. The current edition, which opened Sept. 24, 1976, at the Edison Theater, was the second major incarnation for the revue, which originally premiered in 1969 at off-Broadway’s Eden Theater, moved in 1971 to Broadway’s Belasco Theater and ran there until the following year. Among the more than 1,400 performers who appeared in various productions of the revue are Bill Macy, formerly of “Maude,” and Alan Rachins of “L.A. Law.”

“Oh! Calcutta!” was first put together in 1969 by British critic Kenneth Tynan, who wanted to stage a musical revue about “the pursuit of happiness through sex.” The show has been seen by more than 85 million people in 18 countries, according to Di Dia, and has grossed more than $350 million.
