Trisha Paytas is calling in the big guns for her Broadway debut!

When the internet personality takes the stage on Feb. 3 for Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream — a one-night-only musical theater extravaganza — she’ll be joined by several high-profile special guests including Sutton Foster, Ben Platt, Rachel Zegler and Joy Woods.

The starry bunch join the previously announced ensemble cast, including Amber Ardolino, Morgan Bryant, Beau Harmon, Joshua Dawson, Lena Matthews, Jimena Flores Sanchez and Michael Santomassimo — as well as Paytas herself.

As Paytas prepares to hit the stage, the YouTuber-turned-performer has been in disbelief that her Broadway dreams are finally becoming a reality. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE in December about the forthcoming variety show, Paytas, 36, said she was “just about as gagged as could be.”

The idea for a show, which is produced by Kobi Kassal and George Strus, was actually started as an April Fool’s Day joke last year, when Kassal's site Theatrely reported that Paytas would play Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway. But when excitement grew for her faux-announcement, the producers decided to create an actual show for star.

“I was like, 'What?' And then we got the date and the theater, and I was like, 'Wait, this is happening!' " said Paytas.

And the fan excitement translated into ticket sales: Paytas sold out St. James Theatre in New York City in five minutes — though she’s giving away pairs of front row tickets to her biggest fans through an online sweepstakes, which closes on Jan. 25.

Even though this is Paytas’ first time on Broadway, many of her costars are seasoned stage performers.

Foster, 49, has been a Broadway mainstay since appearing in Grease in 1996, collecting a pair of Tony Awards along the way, one for Thoroughly Modern Millie in 2002 and another for Anything Goes in 2011. Platt, 31, has also been recognized at the Tonys, winning for his lead performance in Dear Evan Hansen in 2017.

Woods, 25, is a newer star, making her Broadway debut in 2022 in the cast of Six, more recently garnering buzz for her role in the 2024 Broadway revival of Gypsy. And Zegler, 23 — a Golden Globe winner for Steven Spielberg's remake of West Side Story — recently crossed over to the stage from the silver screen, bringing her acting chops to her first Broadway production last year in Romeo + Juliet.

As for the the possibility of future shows, Paytas told PEOPLE that “it’s fine” if this is her only chance to perform for a Broadway audience, but that she’d “love” to continue to work on stage in New York.

“And then I would love to do a movie," she said. "I love that [movie] musicals are coming back, and if they do Joseph, I would love to be somewhere in there,” added Paytas, referencing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, the Broadway show she watched a child that inspired her dream to perform.

"I know it sounds, like, so delusional," admitted Paytas to PEOPLE, acknowledging that she’s never received formal training. "What I have is passion. Maybe not talent, but I have a lot of passion."
