Does anyone know which Broadway show (or stars) are featured?

"Corden’s upcoming primetime event, “Homefest: James Corden’s Late Late Show Special,” is the latest effort from late-night talk show hosts to produce original content while practicing social distancing measures. It will air Monday at 10 p.m. on CBS.

“We built a tiny sort of set in my garage and my wife powdered my nose,” Corden told Variety. “We have a locked-off camera and my laptop. I’m completely on my own in there.”

For the special, Will Ferrell provided pre-taped comedy sketches, while David Blaine will perform a “trick on basically all of us,” Corden teased. The show will end, Corden says, with an entire Broadway company performing in their separate homes."

I enjoy Ben Platt, but it felt disrespectful to Jordan Fisher (although I’m sure he didn’t care given the sentiment behind it). They had him in a tiny box and showed him full screen for a split second. He’s currently leading the show, and he’s a name, so why not just let him do it?

Because Platt is a “name” now. I loved it.

He’s also now part of Ryan Murphy’s repertory of actors (headlining his successful Netflix series THE POLITICIAN and slated for others).  Platt is without question, a bigger industry name than Jordan Fisher.

Yeah a lot more people will watch this just because Platt's name is in the title.

Sweets, he was just one of the guests.  This right now is about Platt still representing DEAR EVAN HANSEN over the lead actor who was headlining the show on Broadway prior Broadway shutting down.

Curious who paid the actors for this performance or if their promotional fees were waived for this.
Very beautiful and touching performance. Thankful for Corden for having them on the telecast.
