Get ready to scream like it's 1999! Boyband in the Buff is the ultimate throwback concert - starring pop heartthrob Gareth Gates and a cast of ripped and ridiculously talented performers. With nothing but harmonies, dance moves, and a whole lot of skin, the boys belt out the biggest hits of the '90s and '00s-from Backstreet Boys to NSYNC, Blue to Take That. A mix of nostalgic and naughty, it's the ultimate celebration of pop, passion, and pecs. Warning: Contains tight harmonies and tighter pants. (At least, for the first few numbers.)
