Broadway Barks returns to Shubert Alley on Saturday, July 8 for the 25th annual star-studded dog and cat adoption event. Co-founded by Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore, the event features adoptable animals from 24 NYC-area adoption agencies and rescue groups along with Broadway’s biggest names who use their star power to help them find loving homes.
As part of the milestone anniversary, Peters will host the event with satirist and animal lover Randy Rainbow and with a special appearance by Josh Groban.
Produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the adoption event begins at 3 PM with a ‘meet and greet’ of all the adoptable pets; from 5-6:30 PM adoptees make their Broadway debut on stage alongside some of Broadway’s favorite stars for the celebrity presentations. Proceeds from the event benefit the participating shelters and rescue groups.
A host of celebrity participants lending their support include Annaleigh Ashford (Sweeney Todd), Victoria Clark (Kimberly Akimbo), Adam Heller (Some Like it Hot), Taylor Iman Jones (Six), Carol Kane, Marsha Mason, Laurie Metcalf (Grey House), Bonnie Milligan (Kimberly Akimbo), Bebe Neuwirth, Michele Pawk (Wicked), Emily Skinner (New York, New York), Will Swenson (A Beautiful Noise, The Neil Diamond Musical), Paulo Szot (& Juliet) and many more.
