Broadway Bares, an annual burlesque fundraiser for Broadway Cares, is set to feature a star-studded lineup including Alex Newell, Nicole Scherzinger, and Peppermint for its 2025 edition.

This year's theme, 'Come Out, Come Out,' draws inspiration from The Wizard of Oz, celebrating Broadway's dancers and emphasizing themes of community and empowerment.

The event will take place on June 22, 2025, with performances scheduled at 9:30 PM and midnight at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.

Tickets for the show start at $75, with VIP options available that include perks like unlimited cocktails and reserved seating.

Broadway Cares is a leading nonprofit organization that has awarded over $300 million since its inception in 1988, supporting critical services for people with HIV/AIDS.

Since its founding, Broadway Bares has raised over $28 million for Broadway Cares, with last year's edition alone bringing in a record $2.26 million.

Kellen Stancil will return as director, with Paula DeLuise as associate director, and a diverse team of choreographers including Mike Baerga and Phil Colgan.

In addition to the headliners, the show will feature acclaimed performers such as André De Shields, Tom Francis, J. Harrison Ghee, and Lesli Margherita.

Peppermint, known for her groundbreaking role as the first out trans woman to originate a principal role on Broadway in Head Over Heels, will also be a special guest.

Nicole Scherzinger, who recently won the 2025 Tony Award for her performance in Sunset Blvd, is celebrated for her impressive career as a singer and actress.

Alex Newell made history as the first openly nonbinary actor to win a Tony Award in 2023 for their role in Shucked, showcasing their unique voice and authenticity.

The event will feature more than 200 dancers, including notable names such as Ehizoje Azeke, Tony d'Alelio, and Mila Jam.
