Broadway Bares All for AIDS

This weekend is the annual Broadway Bares performance to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS organization. The concert series was started something like seven years ago by Jerry Mitchell. He and six friends were hosted by the Union Square bar SPLASH, one of Manhattan's most popular gay clubs. Their first show had people lined up around the block, so they ended up staying and doing two performances that night.

That was the birth of this tradition. Now the concert of strip-tease and burlesque inspired movement features over 200 Broadway actors and actresses. This year the show will have a Greek Mythology theme and feature current stars like Laura Bell Bundy and David Hyde Pierce.

To give you an idea what the concert is like, I've found a great clip for you! Last year, the theme was Sexy Superheroes. Actor Christopher Sieber and his boyfriend (also an actor) were featured in this particularly enticing act as Batman and Robin.

It's what I always dreamed the cartoons could be. And now it's in real life.
