BROADWAY BARKS 8!
Broadway's biggest animal lovers will reconvene for "Broadway Barks 8," a star-studded dog- and cat-adopt-a-thon benefiting New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies.
Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters will host Saturday's event, which takes place July 8th from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Shubert Alley (located between 44th and 45th Streets, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue). Also expected on hand are Lucie Arnaz, Maxwell Caulfield, Victoria Clark, Georgia Engel, Eden Espinosa, Christian Hoff, Cherry Jones, Carol Kane, Wendie Malick, among others.
"BB8" is intended to help New York City's shelter animals find permanent homes by informing New Yorkers about the plight of uncared-for cats and dogs. Last year's event was, to paraphrase a song from "Wicked," paw-pular, with an audience of more than 6,000 and featured the participation of more than 24 animal shelters.
The event will also feature an auction of celebrity-autographed memorabilia. For more information, call 212-840-0770 or visit www.broadwaybarks.com.
