The incomparable sass, class and full-out dance of Broadway Bares will once again kick off Pride week in New York City with two sizzling performances featuring more than 150 of the city’s most delectable dancers. Shows at 9:30 PM and midnight will feature stunning, modern-day burlesque production numbers with heart-pounding choreography and scrumptious striptease.
Broadway Bares was created in 1992 by Jerry Mitchell during his time as a Broadway dancer. Looking for a way to raise awareness and money for those living with HIV/AIDS, Mitchell and six of his friends danced atop a New York City bar and raised $8,000 in Broadway Bares‘ first iteration. Last year’s standing-room-only 30th anniversary edition filled Hammerstein with an abundance of “community, unity and nudity” and raised $1.9 million, bringing its lifetime total to more than $21 million for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
