BROADWAY BARES XVII: MYTH BEHAVIOR Raises Record-Shattering $743,787 for BC/EFA

With a $115,000 boost from event sponsor M·A·C AIDS FUND, June 17th’s two performances of Broadway Bares XII: Myth Behavior raised $743,787 breaking last year’s record result of $659,500.

The first BROADWAY BARES (1991) – at which founder Jerry Mitchell and six friends danced for tips at a bar in Chelsea – raised $8,000. Since then, this must-see event has grown year-by-year, earning a total of $4,803,648 for Broadway CARES/Equity Fights AIDS and the vital organizations they support.

Bares – which grows more elaborate each year – packed Roseland ballroom on 52nd Street, not only with enthusiastic audience members, but with a record number of dancers who filled the venue’s basement, turning it into an enormous “undressing room” of scantily clad performers, stylists and make-up artists.
