Regarding D. H. Tarbutton's letter ``Stop the nudity'' (April 23), I am curious which night he was present at Chrysler Hall to see ``Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.''
I had the pleasure of attending the performance on April 4. Although my seat was in the nose-bleed section of the upper balcony, there was never any doubt in my mind that the performers were fully clothed at all times. Without the use of binoculars, it was obvious during the scene of Joseph's seduction that the women were wearing nude-colored leotards. It just proves that anyone can see what they want to see.
I left the production feeling elated. I talked about it for days. Bravo! to all the performers. And by the way, I have raised three teenagers of my own who have matured to be decent, moral individuals.
