This year's event is scheduled for Sunday, June 18 with shows at 9:30 PM and midnight at the Roseland Ballroom (239 West 52nd Street).

Founded by director/choreographer Jerry Mitchell, the sexy annual evenings have proven to be big money-makers for BC/EFA. Last year's Broadway Bares took in a record-breaking $654,000.

He served as associate choreographer for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and choreographed the recent benefit concerts of A Wonderful Life and On the Twentieth Century for the Actors' Fund.
