Off the back off the success of Jerry Mitchell's Broadway Bares in 1992, the London incarnation of the charity event West End Bares.

Now in its 8th year, the event promises an evening of naughty burlesque and the sparkle of the West End in an evening raising money for the Make A Difference Trust. This year's show will feature appearances from Rebecca Trehearn, Adam Garcia, Summer Strallen, Dianne Pilkington, Tom Allen, Celinde Schoenmaker and Oliver Savile, with more names to be announced and some surprises to be expected on the night.

The theme for this year's event is 'Ruby Slippers', and it will take place at the Novello Theatre on 29th October. 

We popped into rehearsals with choreographer James Wilson, whose work has been seen on Strictly Come Dancing and The Voice, to find out more about the show and get a quick peep at the show.
