BC/EFA's BROADWAY BARES Will Hit Fire Island for Pair of Shows This Summer

The hottest burlesque show in town, Broadway Bares will officially open the summer season on Fire Island with another seductive edition of Broadway Bares Fire Island. The sexy men and women of Broadway Bares will return June 4, 2016, to Fire Island Pines, NY, for two performances, produced by and benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The show will be performed at 7 pm and 9 pm at Whyte Hall's Brandon Fradd Theater.

This year's Broadway Bares Fire Island will take the audiences on a sensual romp through a world inspired by mobile apps. "We live in an age where our best friends are our smartphones and every problem has us saying "there's an app for that," Director Michael Lee Scott said. "Whether it's a dating app, a streaming app or even just a weather app, all of us can relate to being glued to our smartphones. Rather than phones, our audience's eyes will be glued to our performers as they reveal the sultry side of the techno era."

Created exclusively for Fire Island, this intimate version of the annual New York City extravaganza Broadway Bares (#BroadwayBares) will feature the Bares dancers performing burlesque production numbers on a runway jutting into the audience. No seat is more than 40 feet from the stage. The show will be followed by Bares' famous "rotation" where the performers step off the stage to freestyle dance for cash donations.

All tickets to Broadway Bares Fire Island include free specialty cocktails on the Albert Lepage Pavilion at Whyte Hall a half-hour before curtain. Ticket prices are $95, $150 and $225. Also available is an exclusive "Walk-on Stripper Spectacular" package, which includes an onstage - fully clothed - appearance during one of the shows, rehearsal, dinner and photos with the cast and four premium seats at either show, plus two VIP General Admission tickets to Broadway Bares in NYC.

Tickets are available online at broadwaycares.org and in the Fire Island Pines harbor on Saturdays and Sundays 11 am to 1 pm beginning May 21. The evening is produced in association with Fire Island Pines Arts Project.

Broadway Bares Fire Island is a sultry tease for Broadway Cares' immensely popular Broadway Bares, the unrivaled evening of sexy striptease production numbers that benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. This year's 26th edition, Broadway Bares: On Demand, will feature everything you love about television with a brand "nude" look. For the fourth year in a row, the show will be directed by Nick Kenkel (Catch Me If You Can, Peepshow, Legally Blonde).

The 2016 edition will fill NYC's Hammerstein Ballroom on Sunday, June 19. This always sold-out annual event combines the naughtiness of burlesque and the razzle-dazzle of Broadway. More than 150 of the hottest male and female dancers in New York City take to the stage for two sensational shows at 9:30 pm and midnight. Tickets can be purchased online at broadwaycares.org.

The first Broadway Bares featured seven dancers stripping on a bar and raised $8,000. To date, the 25 editions of Broadway Bares have raised more than $14.3 million for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
