A new slate of Broadway favorites has been added to lineup of guests for the previously announced virtual fundraiser, Broadway Bares: Twerk from Home. Tony winner Harvey Fierstein (Hairspray), J. Harrison Ghee (Kinky Boots), Jay Armstrong Johnson (The Phantom of the Opera), Tony nominee Robyn Hurder (Moulin Rouge!), Peppermint (Head Over Heels), and Jelani Remy (Ain't Too Proud) join the action in the virtual fundraiser streaming June 20.
Peppermint will perform “Strip,” a new song by Frank Boccia; audiences can also expect to see Johnson in a sweaty opening number. Fierstein makes a special appearance as the show begins, with Ghee, Hurder and Remy each sharing the impact of donations made throughout the stream. A celebratory finale was filmed on location in Times Square.
