Special guests—many of whom performed—included Annette Bening, Carolee Carmello, Robert Creighton, John Doyle, Andrew Garfield, Mandy Gonzalez, Denise Gough, Kathryn Grody, Barry Levinson, Beth Malone, Laurie Metcalf, David Morse, Mandy Patinkin, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Lauren Ridloff, Ben Vereen, and Barrett Wilbert Weed.
