More than 150 of the hottest male and female dancers in New York City will take the stage of the Hammerstein Ballroom on June 19 for the 26th edition of Broadway Bares. In anticipation, Playbill principal photographer Joseph Marzullo has dug into his archives and shares these sizzling backstage shots from 2004-2007. The 25 editions of Broadway Bares have raised more than $14.3 million for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
Broadway Bares: Top Bottoms of Burlesque, inspired by the Golden Age of Broadway, "will feature a cast of colorful characters for every desire and fantasy. Broadway’s iconic personalities--from devilish divas to charismatic casting directors, luscious lyricists to studly stagehands--will combine the naughtiness of burlesque with the razzle-dazzle of Broadway," according to BC/EFA. This year, Broadway Bares welcomes back to the director’s chair its Tony Award-winning founder and executive producer, Jerry Mitchell. Broadway Bares: Top Bottoms of Burlesque will be co-directed by Nick Kenkel.
"A lot of things can happen in 25 years, but who would've thought that seven guys dancing on a bar could grow into an annual event that has raised so much to help people living with HIV and AIDS," Mitchell said. "Broadway Bares has done that. And this year we're going full out, maybe even with a top hat and our version of tails, ’cause if, baby, you're a bottom, you're the top."
Tickets start at $50 and can be purchased online at broadwaycares.org. VIP tickets include open bar and reserved table seats from special viewing areas. Also available are the exclusive "Stripper Spectacular" package, which includes a reserved table seat at either show, admission to a private cocktail party with Mitchell, a backstage tour and more; and the "Producers' Circle," which includes the "Stripper Spectacular" offerings plus unprecedented access all weekend long.
