Get On Your Feet For Broadway Barks

Tony winner Bernadette Peters will team with Grammy award winner Gloria Estefan to co-host Broadway Barks. This star-studded dog and cat adoption event to benefit New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies was founded by Ms. Peters and Mary Tyler Moore 18 years ago and is going strong.
