Broadway's undressing room

Interview,  Sept, 2007  by Roxanne Lowit

Strippers meet tippers when the Great White Way's dancers perform at Broadway Bares, an annual event that benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. On this steamy evening, Roseland Ballroom in midtown Manhattan becomes a bacchanal of bodily assets--and patrons, for a cash contribution, can make the acquaintance of the scantily clad dancers as they work the stage in bump-and-grind fashion. Before that point the dancers perform in burlesque-like numbers, which for the latest edition featured the theme Myth-Behavior.

Many classic Greek gods were evoked, while a few new Broadway Bares gods-with-bods were created. A total of $743,787 was raised, of which $115,000 was contributed by the MAC AIDS Fund, and $32,501 came from the cash crammed into G-strings.
