Director Stafford Arima has carved out quite a niche for himself taking musicals once left on the shelf and dusting them off for a new audience (see: last year’s Carrie The Musical revamp). Now it’s Bare’s turn to get the Arima treatment. The rock musical that started as a “pop opera” in 2001 is now a book musical; additional tunes have been added to its pop-rock score by Damon Intrabartolo and Jon Hartmere (the additional composer is Lynne Shankel). Taylor Trensch and Jason Hite star as two teens who fall in love at a Catholic boarding school. (New World Stages, 340 W. 50th St., btwn. 8th & 9th Aves.
