Here’s a preview:

First Look: Skintight!

First Look: Skintight!

ET has exclusively released a first look at the key art for Idina Menzel’s upcoming off-Broadway play, Skintight!

Skintight, which begins previews on May 31, is described as a scorching examination of beauty, youth and sex. Reeling from her ex-husband’s engagement to a much younger woman, Jodi Isaac (Idina) turns to her famous fashion-designer dad for support. Instead, she finds him wrapped up in his West Village townhouse with Trey. Who’s 20. And not necessarily gay. But probably an adult film star. At least, according to Jodi’s son. Who’s also 20. And definitely gay. Skintight assays the nature of love, the power of attraction, and the ways in which a superficial culture persists in teaching its children that all that matters is what’s on the inside.

Skintight will run until August 26. Tickets are on sale now.
