New York, July 8, 2006 – Our favorite New York flea market, Broadway Barks, where you can pick up an adoptable dog or cat while mingling with Broadway’s biggest stars, was on Saturday afternoon. The day is always a lot of fun; so much so that Bebe Neuwirth claimed that if the organizers don’t call her to attend, she calls them. Animal lovers Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore host the event, now in its eighth year, to raise funds for New York City animal shelters. Moore said that if the handsome host of The Planet’s Funniest Animals, Keegan-Michael Key, lived in New York City, she’d be his stalker. Broadway Barks offers stellar celebrity-watching - Georgia Engel, Sutton Foster, Nellie McKay and Lucy Arnaz were there - but of course the hard part is resisting the temptation to take home an entire menagerie from among the adorable critters in Shubert Alley.
