On Sunday night, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS presented its popular fundraiser, Broadway Bares 18: Wonderland, at Roseland, which raised a record-breaking $874,372. The sexy participants included actor/model Vincent De Paul, South Pacific's Matthew Morrison, and A Chorus Line's Nick Adams.

Mary Birdsong -- last seen on Broadway in Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me -- played the role of Alice in Wonderland.

The Little Mermaid's Tituss Burgess was a naughty White Rabbit.

Step It Up and Dance contestant Michelle Mochi Camaya showed off more than her dancing skills.

Here's actress Michelle Dowdy, another scantily-clad participant in the bawdy event.

Some of the evening's special guests included Nathan Lane, who is wrapping up his Broadway run in November, and Andrea Martin, currently appearing in Young Frankenstein, who appeared as the Cheshire Cat and his lovely wife.

Christopher Sieber and Jennifer Cody -- who will both be seen later this season in Shrek the Musical -- posed with Broadway Bares founder and executive producer Jerry Mitchell.

Finally, the fabulous Julie White -- who portrayed the "Mock Turtle" -- gets into the spirit of things with dancer Ben Ryan by showing a little leg.
