“Grab your favorite piece (Dog? Ship? Boot? Thimble?), roll the dice, and get ready to put money into the community chest to help Broadway Bares XX: Strip-opoly reach their $1 million fundraising goal to benefit BC/EFA,” according to press notes. “This year’s [fundraiser] will bring a whole new definition to the phrase ‘game night’ when over 200 of Broadwayâ€s sexiest dancers come together for the hottest burlesque show this side of Park Place.”

Broadway Bares is produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and executive produced by Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell.

A little Bares history: Nearly 20 years ago, Tony winner Mitchell, who once danced nearly naked on a drum in The Will Rogers Follies, found himself inspired to take it all off to raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and Broadway Bares was born. The first year, he and seven other Broadway dancers raised $8,000 for the charitable organization. Since that time, the fundraisers have brought in over $5.5 million for BC/EFA.

Director Rhodes has performed in the Broadway productions of Urban Cowboy, Bells Are Ringing, Fosse and Chicago.

The Roseland Ballroom is located in New York City at 239 West 52nd Street. Tickets can be purchased online at www.BroadwayCares.org or by calling (212) 840-0770 x 268.
