OK.
I am not generally one to get aerated about a show before I have seen it, and have no in principle objection to people of any age seeing bodies without clothes on stage. And disclaimer, I have had some small former dealings with this company.
These are the things that make me feel that I need more convincing that this company know what they are doing:
There is lots of jolly 're-assurance' on the website - but the first 'ask more' that I clicked on, the pre-info document for parents - wasn't ready. t's the bit that this thread focuses on: nakedness n the show. So FGS why wasn't this ready in time for the marketing and publicity being launched? Have the company prioritised this...or not?
There is much earnest but fake referencing - they don't say this has the approval of the NSPCC but they like to make it sound as if it is somehow affiliated (they don't actually say that of course).
They trumpet the work of the School of Sexuality Education and say it is based on their curriculum, but that organisation's support for the RSHE curriculum starts at KS3 so not sure how this gives any credibility to a show for 5 year olds?
One of the FAQs is 'Is It Theatre n Education?'. Their answer to this shows that actually they have no idea what genuine TIE is - good TIE is exactly what they aspire to be. Which makes them sound like over-eager but somewhat arrogant know it alls.
The glossary is somewhat eyebrow raising for a family show...I hope that it is not a list of terms that crop up in the show - I very much doubt it. But if it ISN'T show specific, why pick on a random list of, let's say, kink-friendly terms, rather than others. For e.g Including Dildo but not vibrator, Pegging but not Dogging ...I mean if you don't need specific words for the show, why pick random words...when dictionaries and google exist. The glossary, by the way, is compiled form glossaries from Mermaids, Stonewall and Purple Rain . So all specifically LBGTQ orientated organisations. Of course any approach to sex and sexuality for young people must be properly inclusive and non-discriminatory, but to be exclusively from that angle suggests an agenda. Which they may or may not have.
The company is a small young company, with a good 'theatre' reputation. Maybe the show is great. Maybe it isn't. But they haven't got the right professionals and experience in the team to create the credibility they need to create the security for families to take 5 year olds to a show like this.
IMO.
