Elaine Paige and Bernadette Peters hosted the second annual West End Woofs (and Meows) in Covent Garden on Saturday, 10 August 2024.

Taking place at the Actor’s Church – St Paul’s Church, Covent Garden, West End Woofs (and Meows) is a live dog and cat adoption event, working with participating shelters and rescue groups to benefit their charitable work.

Elaine Paige and Broadway legend Bernadette Peters first teamed up to co-host the virtual edition of West End Woofs during lockdown in 2020, before hosting their first live event last year.

Bernadette Peters has long championed the original New York event, Broadway Barks, which is celebrating over 25 years of uniting dogs with new owners and was founded by Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters.

The London event brought together much-loved talent of the West End and many four-legged friends for a live dog and cat adoption event, working with participating shelters and rescue groups to benefit their charitable work.

Shows participating included Hello, Dolly!, Kiss Me, Kate, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton and Sister Act, with special guests including Charlie Stemp, Bonnie Langford, Stephanie J Block, Trevor Dion Nicholas and Joanna Riding.

Money raised on ticket donations has gone towards the shelters, and participating shelters and rescue groups taking part were All Dogs matter; Home Run Hounds; Pro Dogs Direct; Saving Saints; German Shepard Rescue South; Noahs Ark Romanian rescue; Helping Dogs and Cats UK; and Peterborough Cat Rescue.

Bernadette Peters is performing her Bernadette Peters – Live from London concert at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane tonight, 12 August 2024.
