Don't know if this theatre is the same as what is portrayed in the Rita Hayworth film Tonight and Every Night ('45), where the theatre also never closed, and performances continued through bombings in WW2. They have in common that a performer was upset, went across the street for a beverage and got killed by a bomb.
The nudity was during tableaus, so the nude models were completely still, as though they were paintings.
The c.track by the director was quite sparse and uninformative. He sounds dour and uninvolved with the production, like he's the hired hand. So skip the c.track.
