Good to know! I'm still wondering what Stokes was doing on stage, though.
Who is performing the Special Guest Star track this coming week? Are they just putting the covers on?

Apparently she sang Hallelujah because someone pledged a $10,000 donation to The Actors Fund if she would do it. Stokes is the President of the Actors Fund, so he introduced her. It was after the show, not during it. Sounds like a win-win for the audience and the Fund to me.
Seems like a good enough reason to me, HorseTears.
I asked on their facebook page who their special guest for this coming week is and I have yet to get a reply.
According to Playbill, it will be Danielle Herbert this coming week.
Indeed:
Danielle Herbert

That's amazing! Must be nice to have an extra $10,000 just sitting around
But that information should have definitely been mentioned in the article. We need to be reminded now and again that there are still great people out there.
That's awesome! Kudos to whichever Daddy/Mommy Warbucks (or is it "Stacks" now?) donated the 10k! I was kinda hoping Stokes was going to be joining the cast, but that doesn't seem very likely now that I actually think about it.
And, thank you yfs, for the explanation. You'd think the BWW "journalist" could have included this in his article instead of simply cutting and pasting part of the show's PR boilerplate.
