This past Sunday, at midnight I went to the twentieth annual performance of Broadway Bares. Each year Broadway and off-Broadway performers, celebrities, and a countless number of volunteers come together and offer up their time, talent and energy to produce a steamy burlesque performance that attracts thousands of spectators. The best part: all the proceeds go towards the fight against AIDS! This year’s show was entitled “Strip-opoly,” and it was AMAZING. A few big-name stars of the show included Vanessa Williams, Kristin Chenoweth, Lucy Liu, Jane Krakowski, Katie Finneran, Alan Cumming, Christopher Sieber and Reichen Lehmkuhl. Not to mention the long list of major sponsors that made this event possible. Not only was the show wildly compelling and entertaining, it was dangerously hot and sexy. Some of the strip-tease moments even made me blush!
It’s so inspiring to see the number of individuals that unite for this cause. Together, the amazing cast, directors, choreographers, volunteers, sponsors and audience members raised over a million dollars (the most ever raised in the 20-year history of the event)! I am so proud to support this cause; and honestly, I had such an incredible time watching the show, that there’s really no reason not to!
