School's in for summer. And out. And in, and out, and in, and out! The hugely popular annual burlesque extravaganza Broadway Bares features many of the Great White Way's hottest chorus guys and chorus girls, bumping and grinding to raise money for worthy causes. At noon today, the series officially announced the theme of its 2017 edition: Strip U.
The university–themed 27th Broadway Bares, directed by Nick Kenkel, will take place at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom at 9:30 pm and midnight on Sunday, June 18. More than 150 dancers will be giving it the old college try. Tickets to Broadway Bares start at $50, and range up to $3,000 VIP packages.

Proceeds benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, which funds services for people with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the country and is the major supporter of the social service programs at the Actors Fund (including the HIV/AIDS Initiative, the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative and the Samuel J. Friedman Health Center for the Performing Arts). Previous editions of Broadway Bares have raised nearly $16 million for the organization.
