"All of Mount Olympus will tremble at this year's edition of 'Broadway Bares' which will feature a pantheon of gods and goddesses (and a few mere mortals for them to toy with). 'Broadway Bares' will celebrate Greek mythology with the 'Broadway Bares' twist that makes the event one of the hottest of the summer. From the chiseled physiques of Narcissus and Poseidon to the deadly alluring Medusa to the debauched Bacchus and the legendary Amazons, a veritable clash of the titans will take place on stage at the Roseland Ballroom as hundreds of Broadway's hottest bodies bare it all for BC/EF," state press materials.

"Broadway Bares" is produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, executive produced by Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde, Hairspray) and directed by Denis Jones (Legally Blonde, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels).
