What are some more examples of shows with secret additional characters?
Like the boy in Three Tall Women, the girl in Blackbird, and the vision in The Woman in Black

“The Inheritance”. That’s all I’ll say, for people who haven’t seen it yet.

I believe last seasons “GARY” had some uncredited performers.

Did "Oh Hello" announce the special guest star ahead of the evening's show?

It’s interesting how some productions of Three Tall Women don’t list the boy in the cast, making him a surprise character but some productions do. Obviously the Broadway revival kept it a secret until his appearance. I’m noticing they are doing the play at the Stratford Festival this coming season and they have listed the boy as a character in the program.
There was an off Broadway show about 20 years ago called Gameshow that had a surprise character at the end. You were supposed to think that it was some random person they had selected from the audience but it was obviously a plant.

Oh also...The Lehman Trilogy. That is all I will say without giving away spoilers.

When I saw the recent Broadway production, I was mainly surprised that they kept it a surprise! I’m still not sure why it mattered whether or not anyone knew in advance that this particular low-impact character would be making an appearance.

This actually is similar to a question I was going to pose on the board - in the Next to Normal Playbill, how did they label Aaron Tveit’s character? One of the crucial plot points is that you DON’T know the character’s name until “I Am the One - Reprise.”

Waiting for Godot
(a reverse surprise, no?)

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

I suppose One Man, Two Guvnors' audience plant counts. She got a bow and everything.

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

He’s credited as Gabe.

I think it's crucial that we know Gabe's name, and assume more or less that it isn't a secret.
