Broadway Bares is an annual raunchy dance spectacular performed by Broadway dancers and actors to raise money for HIV causes in the US. Started in 1992 by choreographer and director Jerry Mitchell, whose theatre credits include **La Cage aux Folles, The Full Monty, Kinky Boots* and **Pretty Woman* on the Great White Way and in the West End, Broadway Bares has to date raised over $21 million.

As with many other live events in 2020, Broadway Bares went virtual this year, titled **Broadway Bares Zoom In* and included highlights from its colourful history of burlesque for a good cause. The 2019 edition featured Billy Porter who came to global prominence as Pray Tell in the television series **Pose.* The 30th anniversary edition has been rescheduled to 2021\. Broadway Bares is organised and staged by Broadway Cares/Equity Fighting Aids which was honoured with a Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre award in 1993.
