Rosie O’Donnell returns with a Broadway Benefit special!

In a one night only special, The Rosie O’Donnell Show returned to screens around the globe to raise money for The Actors Fund amidst the COVID-19 induced Broadway shutdown.

This incredible 3 hour special features some of Broadway’s past and present greats, including names like Patti LuPone, Ben Platt, Chita Rivera, Kristen Chenoweth, Alan Menken, Jeremy Jordan, Ali Stroker, Aaron Tveit, Andrew Rannells, Berandette Peters, and so many more. Through the support of viewers, they were able to raise $500,000 towards The Actors Fund.

Full of songs, laughs, and a true sense of community, the special is definitely worth a watch.
