Red Bucket Follies 2025

At the 2025 edition of Red Bucket Follies, Chaz Wolcott directed and choreographed a lively salute to the 20 national touring productions that joined the fall fundraising effort. The baseball-inspired tap number was a home run, playfully celebrating and referencing touring shows making an impact, including Six, Wicked, Hamilton, MJ, Suffs, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and more. With a whirlwind of songs, skits and dances created by Broadway’s best, this year’s Red Bucket Follies delivered humor, heart and theater magic to the legendary New Amsterdam Theatre. The annual variety show, performed December 8 and 9, 2025, celebrated 55 Broadway, Off-Broadway and national touring companies that participated in the fall #RedBuckets fundraising for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Red Bucket Follies and the six weeks of in-theater fundraising raised a record-shattering $7,344,304. That’s the highest total ever raised in a Broadway Cares fundraising season, flying past the previous record of $6.8 million just set in the spring. Learn more at broadwaycares.org/redbucketfollies.
