“If you are someone who has not missed a day of work, putting yourself or your family at risk, we dedicate this to you. You matter,” Kat tweeted with the video.

Katharine McPhee Will Reunite with 'Smash' Stars During a Special Live Stream

Katharine McPhee and some other stars from the NBC series Smash will be reuniting during a live stream event TODAY (March 20)!

Kat will join Jeremy Jordan, Krysta Rodriguez, and Andy Mientus on the next episode of the Broadway Jackbox series, hosted by former Dear Evan Hansen actors Andrew Barth Feldman and Alex Boniello.

Broadway Jackbox airs on Tuesdays and Fridays at 6pm EST on Twitch. The show will be raising money for The Actors Fund during the stream.

“The first ones were such a blast,” Andrew said in a statement (via BroadwayWorld.com). “They completely achieved our goal of creating something silly, fun, and distracting amidst this craziness, but Alex and I both realized we could use this to give back to our community in a more concrete way. With the theater community in such a state of flux, it only seemed right to give to The Actors Fund who are doing all they can to help our industry through this insane, unprecedented time. So let’s have some fun and do some good! And also, as the self-appointed head of the #ReviveSmash campaign, this is big for me.”

Kat, Jeremy, Krysta, and Andy‘s characters on Smash were all part of the musical Hit List, which was a competitor to Bombshell.

“.@andrewbfeldman & @AlexBoniello are getting the smash cast together. @andrewbfeldman & @AlexBoniello are getting the smash cast together. I REPEAT @andrewbfeldman & @AlexBoniello are getting the SMASH cast together on #BwayJackbox!” Kat tweeted.

On Thursday night, Kat had Jeremy as a guest on her own Instagram Live. Watch a video below!

Jeremy Jordan to Play Seymour in 'Little Shop,' Responds to Criticism He's 'Too Hot' for the Role

Jeremy Jordan will be starring in the off-Broadway production of the classic musical Little Shop of Horrors and now he’s responding to criticisms of his casting.

The 35-year-old actor, best known for his Broadway career and roles in TV shows like Smash and Supergirl, has been deemed “too hot” to play the role of Seymour.

Seymour, who was played by Rick Moranis in the classic film version of Little Shop, is known for being nerdy and someone who the character Audrey would normally not go for.

Slate published an article “Against Hot Seymour” that noted, “Hunky actors have no business playing the bespectacled nebbish of Little Shop of Horrors.”

Jeremy took to Twitter and responded to the article by sharing four photos of him showing off his nerdy side. He wrote, “This is my formal response.”

You can see Jeremy in the musical from March 17 through May 10 and tickets are on sale now!
