Braxton, who's powerhouse performance in Smokey Joe's Cafe earned her a 1995 Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical, joins the cast of this stimulating and irreverent, adult's-only variety series, showcasing Broadway's brightest talent. She holds the record of performing the role of Velma Kelly more than any other actress in the Broadway production of Chicago. Braxton has also appeared on Broadway in such shows as Jelly's Last Jam, Cats, Legs Diamond and Dreamgirls.

Featuring a new cast and creative team at select performances, the hottest and most exciting talent on Broadway will offer their own unique interpretation of the genre featuring an erotically-charged evening of dance, slinky love songs, risqué stand-up comedy, steamy story telling...and well, who knows what else?
