WATCH: Half Naked Broadway Bares Highlights

Summer temperatures are not the only thing heating up New York City. Broadway Bares, a fundraising show hosted by Broadway Cares to raise funds for fighting HIV, is kicking off its 26th year with a fun re-imagining of daytime TV, including sexy talk shows, sultry baking, and an infomercial that you’ll actually enjoy watching.

The theme this year ("On Demand”), focuses on making television sexy again. It features a cast of 150 of New York’s sultriest men and women on Broadway, and will have a run of three shows. The production run featured two shows at the Hammerstein Ballroom, June 19th.
