Broadway Bares, the sizzling annual event that features some of Broadway’s hottest performers strutting their stuff to raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, has announced that this year’s show will be held on June 15.

Broadway Bares 13: Back to Burlesque will offer a post-modern take on the early burlesque houses where such performers as Blaze Starr and Gypsy Rose Lee reigned supreme. The benefit will feature more than 150 performers from some of Broadway’s biggest shows. As always, it will be directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell (Gypsy, Hairspray).

Broadway Bares 13: Back to Burlesque will be performed on Sunday, June 15, at 9:30pm and again at midnight, at the Roseland Ballroom (239 West 52nd Street). For information, call BC/EFA at 212-840-0770, ext. 268 or visit the website www.BroadwayCares.org.
