Musical theater fans can expect “an unparalleled evening of seductive striptease” later this spring with the return of a wildly popular Broadway-meets-burlesque spectacular.
On June 17, more than 150 of New York’s most well-toned dancers will take to the stage of the Hammerstein Ballroom for “Broadway Bares: Game Night .” The 28th installment of the annual fundraiser promises to “put a sassy, seductive spin on games you know and love,” including “a pulsating poke at pinball” and “saucy virtual reality video games,” officials wrote in a press release.

The 2018 edition will be co-directed by Nick Kenkel (“Catch Me If You Can,” “Half Time”) and choreographer, dancer and musician Laya Barak . Aaron Hamilton will serve as associate director.
“Broadway Bares” was first created in 1992 by Tony-winning “Kinky Boots” director Jerry Mitchell . Since then, the event has raised more than $17.4 million for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS , a nonprofit group dedicated to AIDS-related causes across the U.S.
Previous installments of the show have ranged from 2012’s naughty fairy tale “Happy Endings ” to 2017’s college-themed bacchanal, “Strip U .”
