In Broadway Bares’ first year, Mitchell and six of his friends paraded across a New York City bar and raised $8,000 for the cause. The past two burlesque shows have donned pandemic-inspired namesakes, Broadway Bares: Zoom In and Broadway Bares: Twerk from Home. Together, these two virtual events collected $945,938. Since 1988, Broadway Bares has raised more than $21 million for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Broadway Bares receives generous support from presenting sponsor M∙A∙C VIVA Glam as well as CAA and United Airlines.
