Former child star, OnlyFans “model,” and constant source of tabloid fodder Aaron Carter has announced his next major project. The singer will headline the cast of Naked Boys Singing when the show returns to Las Vegas later this year.
Naked Boys Singing returns to the Jewel Box Theatre in Las Vegas on September 8. Carter will join the cast of four other men that appear totally naked on stage for the 60-minute show, which combines music and comedy into a campy vaudeville-type performance. It remains Las Vegas’ only fully-naked show.
“I suffer from body dysmorphia, but I’ve never felt more comfortable with my body than I do now,” Carter told Broadway World of his joining the cast. “I’m so excited to enter the theater world again in Naked Boys Singing! I look forward to having a great time and being a part of Vegas reopening.”

Naked Boys Singing originally debuted in 1998 as a show aimed at gay men. In the more than 20 years since, the show has become an international sensation, attracting a diverse audience of all genders and sexualities. Carter will headline a 12-week run beginning September 8 thru November 28.
The show marks the latest naked endeavor of Aaron Carter, who joined OnlyFans last year. The singer originally shot to fame at the tender age of 13 with the release of his sophomore album Aaron’s Party. The album sold 3 million copies upon release in 2000 and spawned two hit singles in the US. It also propelled Carter to fame with the Nickelodeon pre-teen crowd; the singer would go on to tour with Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys (of which his older brother, Nick, is a member).
By the mid-2000s, Carter’s career hit the skids as he eschewed music for reality television, appearing on the reality series House of Carters and Dancing With The Stars. He also faced arrests in 2008 and 2017 for marijuana possession and declared bankruptcy in 2013. After coming out as bisexual in 2017 (a label that remains somewhat dubious), Carter joined the adult content site OnlyFans in 2020.
As naked endeavors go, we hope Carter’s reception in Naked Boys Singing goes better than his unveiling in OnlyFans.

Well that will make for some pretty amusing vomit-inducing shows.

Aaron’s Party (Come Get It) reached #35 on the chart. To date, it is his one and only top 40 “hit”… if u consider that a hit.

Sorry but he’s past his prime.

There is no place in America that is as large a s***hole as the Music Box.
I really feel sorry for him

Ain’t nobody got time for what he’s selling.

This show is at the Jewel Box Theater, a 150-seat venue at the Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas. It’s near the Fashion Show mall…and the Trump International hotel.
I’m planning a Vegas visit in October. Oh, no, not for this show ..but it could be fun. I enjoyed the original in New York long ago.

The Erotic Heritage museum is a pretty neat space though. The lady who runs it is really chill, and they have some pretty neat exhibits, even though the space still feels very incomplete.
I went there for a Puppetry of the Penis show on a night when 2/3 of the audience apparently did not get the memo and refused to laugh. It’s a juvenile act, and it’s 100% in the same of the show. I don’t know what these uptight people thought they were going to be watching!

I might consider it for some of the other performers depending on who they are, but wouldn’t waste a dime on him.

Queerty, please stop covering this man. You’re only enabling his delusions of fame.
He came out with some children’s market hits when he was 12 or 13, but the Hollywood machine used him, abused him, and cast him aside. His own brother has a restraining order against him, and he’s turning to more and more desperate tactics to carve out a niche for himself in gay media while continuing to backpedal on his bisexuality/heteroflexibility PR stunt.

I have little doubt that he’s probably in the “queer spectrum”, as is probably around 50% of the entertainment industry. And he might have contended with some experimentation, fluidity, contradictions, confusions as far as the gender, sexual, romantic, affection, emotional investment, commitment spectrum. But there’s also little doubt that he tried to use “coming out” and use guys who are unabashedly into guys to boost his “career” and bank account.
I do find Aaron a bit less offensive and calculated than Tyler Posey. And it’s apparent that he has dealt with some severe drug and mental health issues. So, I don’t think continuing to write snide articles about him are in anyone’s best interests.

I’ve never been crazy about him either way, but he did seem like a genuine person at one point in time, and I do feel like he’s having a mental crisis right now….I think he should stop lowering himself to this, and just write a memoir about all that happened with his fame and downfall, people eat that up, and he can make enough to get himself back on track and at least survive for a while longer and maybe do some good in the world.

Saw him once, totally by happenstance, at the Oregon State Fair after he became “famous”. Apparently the sound crew didn’t have auto-tune available. Because, YIKES was he bad! Sat long enough to eat my dinner and left.

Lovely, just lovely.

His life is one big mess.if he wasn’t so screwed up he could get a decent comeback record but his antics , the crap he says. You just can’t take him seriously..I know he doesn’t want to get a “,real ” job because in his head he’s still a famous 13 yr old
