Tonight I have the pleasure of going to Broadway Bares . It’s a yearly benefit for Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS in which all the stars and ensemble members of Broadway shows get together and put on a strip show. Each number is costumed by a different Broadway designer or associate designer and at the end of the evening they have the Rotation where the audience gets to stuff dollar bills into whatever the performers are wearing or not wearing. All the performers and designers work for fee and every cent goes to charity. It should be a lot of fun.
Apparently, two years ago, when John Stamos was in Cabaret, the theme was superheroes and he came out wearing nothing but a comic book over his naughty bits. (Way to go Uncle Jessie!) Last years theme was “Burlesque is Back” and Jane Krakowski, who was in Nine, did a number wearing a white corset. Part of her number entailed her hanging upside down from a white sheet, gravity took over and her tits fell out. Oops!!!
Anyway, I can’t wait to report back on all the naughtiness.
