Broadway Barks 8! — this year’s edition of the annual pet adopt-a-thon in Shubert Alley, produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS — was held on Saturday, July 8. Once more, legendary stars Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore hosted the event.
Many celebrities were on hand to present some of the animals up for adoption. Here’s the priceless Georgia Engel, who starred with Moore on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and who recently returned to Broadway in The Drowsy Chaperone…
…and here’s Engel’s Drowsy co-star Beth Leavel, winner of this year’s Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for playing the title role in that show.
Old pals Dan Lauria, who is about to star Off-Broadway in A Stone Carver, and Wendie Malick, who’ll wrap up her Off-Broadway stint in Burleigh Grime$ this Sunday, cuddled with this adorable canine.
Not even the cutest dog can upstage the peerless Christine Ebersole, who opens on Broadway this fall in Grey Gardens.
Tony Award winner Victoria Clark seems to have found a new furry friend…
…and so has fellow Tony winner Gary Beach, who returns to Broadway this fall in Les Misérables.
Proving she’s anything but evil in person, here’s the delightful Carol Kane, who plays Madame Morrible in the smash hit Wicked…
…and here’s former Wicked leading lady Shoshana Bean, who will join that show’s national tour for a three-month stint later this year.
Tony winner Shuler Hensley took a break from Tarzan to show his support for the cause.
There’s no doubt that Cherry Jones, seen here with girlfriend Sarah Paulson, was the object of this dog’s affection.
Three was definitely company for The History Boys‘ Russell Tovey and Beauty and the Beast star Jacob Young…
…while Jersey Boys stars J. Robert Spencer, Daniel Reichard, and Christian Hoff plus this pair of precious puppies were a five-star attraction.
