BROADWAY BARES executive producer
Jerry Mitchell said in a statement, "After the success of the first SOLO STRIPS, we knew we had to get back to Splash for a second edition. And just like the second edition of BROADWAY BARES in 1993, I knew we had to invite some of the sexy ladies of Broadway to help us out. I can't wait to see what my good friend
Rachelle Rak brings to the stage on April 11 and after my long stay in London, I'm fully expecting to see every single one of my BROADWAY BARES friends at Splash: cocktail in one hand and wads of dollar bills in the other as we get one step closer to our $1 million fundraising goal."
