Ashley Brown, Laura Bell Bundy, Harvey Fierstein, Deidre Goodwin, Capathia Jenkins, Leslie Kritzer, Bebe Neuwirth, David Hyde Pierce, and Daphne Rubin-Vega will make guest appearances at Broadway Bares XVII — Myth Behavior, this year’s edition of the annual benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. It will be held for two performances at 9:30pm and midnight on Sunday, June 17 at Roseland (239 West 52nd Street).

Created by Tony Award-winning choreographer Jerry Mitchell, Broadway Bares features the hottest male and female dancers on Broadway performing sexy but tasteful strip routines. Since its inception, the event has grossed more than $4 million for BC/EFA.

Directing the show for a third time will be Denis Jones; Mitchell will return to Bares this year as executive director. The script will be written by Jeffrey Lane (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and Altar Boyz‘ Gary Adler will write the opening number, which will be sung by Kritzer.
