Nurses stripped for show (5)
I believe the answer is:
annie
'for show' is the definition.
(Annie is a musical)
'nurses stripped' is the wordplay.
'nurses' becomes 'nannies' ('nanny' can be a synonym of 'nurse').
'stripped' says to take the centre.
The central letters of 'nannies' are 'ANNIE'.
(Other definitions for annie that I've seen before include "musical movie" , "Musical based on cartoon strip" , "Famous musical about orphan girl" , "-- Laurie, Scots song" , "Little Ophan .....; also a musical" .)
