BROADWAY BARES returns to virtually twerk from home on 20 June

It may not be able to happen in person again quite yet but Broadway Bares: Twerk from Home will premiere online on Sunday 20 June at 9pm EST.

Home audiences can expect all-new, highly produced virtual performances created exclusively for the stream, and is sure to titillate and tantalise viewers with more than a dozen premiere concept videos.

The annual, modern-day striptease show is produced by and will raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Directed by Bares creator and Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell, with co-direction from Laya Barak and Nick Kenkel , the show will feature more than 170 dancers.

Mitchell said: “Being back with the Broadway Bares family to create Twerk from Home has been an incredible reminder of how beautiful our theater community is, both inside and out. Creating one more virtual edition of our beloved celebration in safe environments reinforces our belief that the best way to take care of ourselves is to take care of each other. We’ll be back in-person in 2022 to celebrate Bares’ 30th birthday. Until then, let’s Twerk from Home!”

Though the stream is free, donations are welcome. The show can be watched here, or on Broadway Cares' YouTube channel.
