Broadway Cares Lesli Margherita, Bonnie Milligan, and More Join Broadway Bares: XXX

The annual charity strip show is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

This year's upcoming Broadway Bares: XXX, set to coincide with New York City's Pride Parade June 26, has revealed its first slate of guest performers.

Scheduled to appear at the benefit burlesque event are the queens of Broadway’s SIX: The Musical, Nathan Lee Graham (Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Zoolander), Lesli Margherita (Matilda the Musical, The Many Saints of Newark), Bonnie Milligan (Kimberly Akimbo, Head Over Heels) and Maulik Pancholy (30 Rock, To My Girls). Additional special guests will be announced soon.

Produced by and benefitting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Broadway Bares: XXX is inspired by the first three decades of Bares themes, reviving favorite performances and reinterpretating beloved themes for a new era of excellence.

As previously announced, the evening will be directed by Laya Barak, who led the last live edition, Broadway Bares: Take Off, in 2019. This production marks Barak’s third time directing Broadway Bares. Jonathan Lee will serve as associate director. Founder Jerry Mitchell and Nick Kenkel, a longtime Bares director and performer, will act as executive producers.

The production feature choreography by Barak, Kenkel, Lee, Al Blackstone, Jessica Castro, Chloe Davis, Armando Farfan, Richard J. Hinds, Stephanie Klemons, Sekou McMiller, Michael Lee Scott, Gabby Sorrentino, Kellen Stancil and Andrew Turteltaub.

Broadway Bares was created in 1992 by Mitchell as a way to raise awareness and money for those living with HIV/AIDS. While working as a dancer on Broadway, Mitchell and six of his friends raised $8,000 with the first iteration. The last two editions were COVID-safe virtual presentations in 2020 and 2021. Since 1988, Broadway Bares has raised more than $21 million for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Tickets to Broadway Bares: XXX, which start at $75, are available at BroadwayCares.org.
