Broadway Bares Solo Strips (#bwaybares) brings all the sizzling sexiness of Broadway Bares to a more intimate venue. This exclusive evening gives fans of Broadway Bares a behind-the-scenes look at the Bares' infamous men with solo, choreographed stripteases by 10 of Broadway's sexiest male dancers taking it off to raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

This year's lineup of Broadway Bares Solo Strips performers features Lawrence Alexander (The Lion King), Yurel Echezarreta (Aladdin), Josh Green (Wicked), Mark MacKillop (West Side Story international tour), Jaysin McCollum (The Lion King), Christopher Messina (Jersey Boys), Jamal Story (Motown: The Musical), Kit Treece (Radio City's New York Spring Spectacular), Kei Tsuruharatani (The King and I) and Ryan Worsing (Chicago).

Matilda The Musical's Lesli Margherita will wrangle the men as host, bringing the comedic stylings of her popular one-woman show, All Hail the Queen, to the evening's festivities. Broadway Bares Solo Strips will once again be directed by Tony Spinosa (La Cage aux Folles).

Solo Strips pays tribute to the first edition of Broadway Bares, which began in 1992 when Jerry Mitchell, then a performer in The Will Rogers Follies, organized a benefit burlesque show featuring himself and six friends performing original strips at a bar for a donation. Mitchell, now a Tony Award-winning director and choreographer, is executive producer of Broadway Bares, which is produced by and benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
