Additional artists have joined the lineup for NBC's One Night Only: The Best of Broadway, which will air December 10 at 8 PM ET hosted by Mean Girls Tony nominee Tina Fey.

Also, expect an appearance from the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child as well as a sneak peek at shows that will arrive next year.

Donations during the telecast will benefit Broadway Cares to help provide groceries, medication, health care, and emergency financial assistance to those in the Broadway community who are struggling through the pandemic that threatens their health and will have shuttered the industry for more than a year. NBCUniversal is also making a donation to Broadway Cares. To donate visit BroadwayCares.org.

“I'm so happy to be a part of this night, raising money for Broadway Cares, and to watch these mega talented people do what they do best,” Fey said in an earlier statement.

“We are deeply grateful to NBC for making this special evening possible and to the spectacular lineup of Broadway’s best who are so generously sharing their time and talent,” added Tom Viola, executive director of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. “The joy that this special will create will translate into meals and medication, health, and hope for those within our Broadway community who are struggling during this pandemic and extraordinary work shutdown.”

One Night Only: The Best of Broadway is a production of Brad Lachman Productions with Lachman serving as executive producer. Bill Bracken is co-executive producer.
