Scorching Studs of Broadway Bares XXI: Masterpiece Raise a Record $1,103,072 for BC/EFA

The sexiest fundraiser on Broadway has outdone itself yet again. Broadway Bares, the annual burlesque shows featuring the hottest bods on the boards stripping for a good cause, were held on June 19 at Roseland Ballroom. This year's show, Broadway Bares XXI: Masterpiece, was an art auction-themed extravaganza, and raised a record-breaking $1,103,072 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The previous record, set in 2010, was $1,015,985.

The 2011 incarnation of Broadway Bares was a star-studded event, start to finish. Tony winner Beth Leavel (Baby It's You) kicked off the night with an original number, "Going, Going, Gone," written by Chad Beguelin and Matthew Sklar, and Tony nominee Patina Miller (Sister Act) wrapped up the evening performing “The Final Masterpiece.” The evening’s other famous faces included Tony nominees Rory O'Malley (The Book of Mormon) and Judith Light (Lombardi), Emmy winner Jim Parsons (The Normal Heart), Tony and Emmy winner David Hyde Pierce (La Béte) and Tony nominee Christopher Sieber (La Cage aux Folles).

Broadway Bares XXI: Masterpiece was executive produced by event founder and Tony-winning choreographer Jerry Mitchell (Catch Me If You Can, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) and directed by Josh Rhodes. To see our photos of the steamy evening, click here!
