The thing with Lin-Manuel doing the Loud Hailer in Les Mis made me wonder how many other examples there are of performances like that, where a celebrity/well-known person does a cameo for one performance. The only others I can think of are:
-Mel Brooks as the Judge in The Producers
-Jason Alexander as the Doctor in Fish in the Dark
But I'm sure there must be others!
