This marks the first time in the 15-year history of the event that Broadway Bares will not perform at its longtime home, Roseland Ballroom. As previously reported, Roseland will shut its doors in April.
The 9:30 PM and midnight shows at the Hammerstein Ballroom will be directed by Nick Kenkel (Catch Me If You Can, Peepshow, Legally Blonde). A theme for the annual sold-out event has not been announced.
Last year's Broadway Bares 23: United Strips of America raised a record-breaking $1,430,241, the highest total of any edition of Bares.
