Dog Day Afternoon

Stars make the scene at the seventh annual Broadway Barks! dog and cat adopt-a-thon in Shubert Alley.

New York City

Every dog has his day, and that day is the date of the annual Broadway Barks! adopt-a-thon in Shubert Alley. This year’s event was held on Saturday, July 30 in Shubert Alley and was once again hosted by Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters. Here are the lovely ladies with Lola, who will play Sandy in the 30th Anniversary production of Annie.

Here’s Bebe Neuwirth with a feline friend…

…and here’s Cheyenne Jackson, that hound dog from All Shook Up, with Lucky Diamond.

Among the other Broadway stars barking for adoptable animals: Bill Irwin of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?…

…Billy Crudup of The Pillowman…

…Joanna Gleason and Gregory Jbara of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels…

…and Steve Rosen of Spamalot, with an especially adorable dog. As Barbra Streisand used to sing to her pooch, “Look at that face, just look at it!”
