The yellow brick road will get a tantalizing, technicolor twist when Broadway Bares: Come Out Come Out, this year’s Oz-ified spin on the highly anticipated striptease spectacular, makes its electrifying, heart-pounding debut.
Click your heels (or heels off) as 200 of NYC’s most dazzling dancers erupt into full-out, larger-than-life production numbers on Sunday, June 22, 2025, in two Wizard of Oz-inspired performances at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.
Broadway Bares: Come Out, Come Out will enchant audiences with a bold celebration of courage, heart and brains – which all look best with a little less clothing. Get swept up in a whirlwind of electrifying talent, unapologetic queer joy and the magic and mischief of Oz. Broadway’s hottest performers will strip down and step into their power, proving that true strength lies in community – the real Emerald City.
Tickets for Broadway Bares start at $75. VIP tickets feature unlimited specialty cocktails and reserved seating. The always popular “Stripper Spectacular” package includes a premium reserved table seat at either show and an invitation to a private cocktail party hosted by Jerry Mitchell, Broadway Bares’ Tony Award-winning creator and executive producer. The ”Barest Insider Experience” includes a premium reserved table seat to either performance, a backstage tour and access to the final “undressed” rehearsal the evening of the show.
Kellen Stancil, a Broadway Bares veteran and resident dance supervisor for the national tour of The Lion King, returns to direct after making his solo Bares directorial debut last year. Joining Stancil as associate director is veteran Broadway Bares performer Paula DeLuise. Mitchell and Nick Kenkel, a longtime Bares director and performer, are executive producers.
The choreographers bringing their expertise to the Emerald City, in addition to Stancil and DeLuise, are Mike Baerga, Marie Rose Baramo, Phil Colgan, Armando Farfan Jr., Billy Griffin, Reed Luplau, Sarah Meahl, Justice Moore, Rachelle Rak, Michael Anthony Sylvester and Marcus Williams.
Broadway Bares was created in 1992 by Mitchell during his time as a Broadway dancer. Looking for a way to raise awareness and money for those living with HIV/AIDS, Mitchell and six of his friends danced atop a New York City bar and raised $8,000 in Broadway Bares’ first iteration.
Last year’s standing-room-only edition took the audience to explore the bright lights and bodacious characters of Las Vegas at Broadway Bares: Hit the Strip, which raised $2.26 million. The evening brought the event’s lifetime total to $28.7 million raised for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS
