Broadway Bares, the unrivaled evening of sexy striptease that benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, will return for its 26th edition on Sunday, June 19 (9:30 pm & Midnight) at the Hammerstein Ballroom (311 West 34th Street, NYC).

This always sold-out annual event combines the eye-popping burlesque with the glamour and razzle-dazzle of Broadway. More than 200 of the hottest male and fema dancers in New York City take to the stage for two sensational shows at 9:30 pm and midnight.

For the fourth year in a row, the show will be directed by Nick Kenkel. This year's theme and special guests will be announced in the spring.

Prices for Broadway Bares range from $50-$3,000. VIP tickets include unlimited specialty cocktails and special viewing areas. The exclusive "Stripper Spectacular" package includes a premium reserved table seat at either show with specialty cocktails, admission to a private cocktail party with Broadway Bares creator and executive producer Jerry Mitchell and a backstage tour. New this year is the "Barest Backstage Insider Experience," which includes a premium reserved table seat at the midnight show with speciality cocktails, a pre-show, behind-the-scenes backstage tour and access to the final "undressed" rehearsal the evening of the show. You must be at least 21 years old to attend Broadway Bares.

Broadway Bares was created in 1992 by Mitchell, who directed and choreographed the Tony-winning Best Musical Kinky Boots and this season's hit On Your Feet!. It is produced by and benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The first Broadway Bares featured seven dancers stripping on a bar and raised $8,000. To date, the 25 editions of Broadway Bares have raised more than $14.3 million for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

The presenting sponsor of Broadway Bares is M•A•C VIVA Glam, with generous support from BC/EFA corporate partner United Airlines.
