"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer

When do the pictures of broadway bares come out on the broadwaycares.org site? Those pics are usually very good.
"Chicago is it's own incredible theater town right there smack down in the middle of the heartland. What a great city! I can see why Oprah likes to live there!" - Dee Hoty :-D
I don't care how you look at it, there are more classy ways of raising money than people romping around half naked on stage. If you like that sort of thing more power to yah.
If you want a classy function for BC/EFA, I highly recommend The Nothing Like a Dame Benefit, the Grand Auction or the Broadway Bears Auction, all held annualy. You can get more info, not only on all the different events from BC/EFA, but you can read up on the many ways this organization serves the community at the link below: Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS

A wonderful suggestion Jamie, and while the dancers were indeed "bare" or nearly bare, the level of skill that the performers brought was as always wonderful and jaw dropping, the Hot Chorus people who support and frame the leads in all of the shows on Broadway certainly deserve mucho respect and admiration.
Some of them had TWO regular shows, then did TWO performances of Broadway Bares! AMAZING.
Well, I'm thrilled to hear all the money that was raised thanks to all the generous people who enjoy seeing actors/dancers half, if not all naked!! A fun time was had by all.

No one ever gets completely naked...once in a while perhaps a dancer slips or forgets to bring the hat down over his crotch quickly enough in the Risky Business sequence, but other than that, no complete nudity...the whole evening becomes about the tease that you'll never get to see it "all."

While Jamie's speaking about the front view, the rear view is a totally different story.

A misplaced hat or an umbrella in the Singin' in the Rain number that isn't really ideal for hiding the naughty bits when someone is standing right next to you at foot level so they can glance up at you...not that I am speaking from experience...

I guess they'll either go home on "vacation" or join the picketing. But the memory of this night need night go away forever, for one can always buy the video (and thereby donate $ to BCEFA) at www.BroadwayBeat.com

"Noah, someday we'll talk again. But there's things we'll never say. That sorrow deep inside you. It inside me, too. And it never go away. You be okay. You'll learn how to lose things..."
