Bernadette Peters and Andrew Rannells play host to Broadway Barks 17 on July 11, 2015, with dozens of Broadway stars helping local animal rescue and adoption agencies find permanent homes for their dogs (and a few cats.)
At the end of the video below, Peter sings to a pooch provided by animal trainer Bill Berloni. The song is from Dames at Sea, the musical in which she appeared in 1966, which will be given its first Broadway production this fall.
A list of all the Broadway theater artists who participated, and their current or most recent affiliations follows, and below that, a list of the animal shelters and adoption agencies that are featured on Broadway Barks.
