Bringing down the dog house: cute pets gather with stars at Shubert Alley for Broadway Barks adoption event

The star-studded 27th annual Broadway Barks dog and cat adoption event went off without a hitch Saturday at Shubert Alley, the heart of the Great White Way.

Broadway legend Bernadette Peters co-hosted the event with Beth Leavel, who just wrapped up an extended run in Stephen Sondheim’s “Old Friends.”

The presenters for this year’s event included three-time Tony Award winning actor Andy Karl, “Mary Poppins” star Gavin Lee, “Hell’s Kitchen” lead Jessica Vosk, and South African-born country singer and actor Orville Peck

Erika Henningsen from “Mean Girls,” Lesli Margherita from “Gypsy,” Erich Bergen from “Jersey Boys,” and Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child and “Death Becomes Her” also served as presenters.

The event brings animal shelters and rescues from across New York into one spot, in hopes of finding forever homes for hundreds of loving pets.

The event is produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and helps promote the importance of spaying and neutering throughout the Five Boroughs.
