From 2005-2011, the stars of ABC Daytime took the stage at New York City’s Town Hall one night each year for ABC Daytime Salutes Broadway Cares. The evening featured dynamic production numbers, heartfelt ballads and hilarious skits. Now, 10 years after that final performance, the iconic ABC Daytime actors revisit their performances as they help raise money for those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the event began in 2005. it was for a one-night benefit concert to celebrate All My Children’s 35th Anniversary. With overwhelming support from fans, the event continued for six more years and included cast members from One Life to Live, General Hospital and co-hosts of The View. Over its seven-year run, ABC Daytime Salutes Broadway Cares raised an incredible $1.85 million.
“This event is truly one of a kind,” Broadway Cares Executive Director Tom Viola said. “We are so thankful to the stars from ABC Daytime for joining us again as we relive moments from this delightful tradition, while helping to provide lifesaving medication, healthy meals and emergency support to those struggling during this ongoing pandemic.”
“It was such an incredible privilege and joy to join my fellow co-stars to perform in the seven ABC Daytime Salutes concerts to benefit Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS,” said former All My Children star Susan Lucci. “There are no fans like ABC Daytime fans. Their love and support continue to astonish us. We can’t wait to share these special performances with them and help raise money for so many in need during this difficult time.”
Lucci also shared her excitement on her Instagram account expressing: “We’re getting the fans and cast back together!!! Join us on Thursday, February 11 at 8pm for “ABC Daytime: Back on Broadway”—a fabulous online event revisiting seven years of singing, dancing and plot twists, featuring your favorite ABC Daytime stars. And it’s all to help Broadway Cares support our friends and neighbors who are struggling during this pandemic. Watch the stream at

NICE ,
Can Sarah’s character name be Buffy?
For copyright reasons, I don’t think so. This is ABC after all.
As far as I’m concern, Alicia is Kendall and Sarah is Buffy.
I love it! Alicia is my all time favorite daytime actress but SMG is a close second so to have the two of them on together is like a dream come true.
I agree with Alicia, it would have to be fun. Both are excellent actresses and it would be interesting. I’m sure it will be written just right! 🙂
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALICIA AND SARAH IN THE SAME SCENE. I HAVE WATCHED AMC SINCE THE FIRST DAY IT CAME ON THE AIR AND ALL THE MEMORIES IS WHAT WE A RE GOING TO HAVE SOON. ALTHOUGH I HEAR THINGS ABOUT A CABLE CHANNEL FOR IT WE , THE FANS, CAN ONLY HOPE THAT BECOMES REAL. I LOVE ALICIA AS KENDALL AND THE FANS HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW HER AS KENDALL BUT THE EARLY FANS WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER SMG AS THE YOUNGER KENDALL. THESCENES WITH SUSAN LUCCI WERE JUST ON THATS FOR SURE.
I would just like to be a fly on the wall when she runs into Susuan Lucci ! Don’t they have an intense dislike for each other? Or is that nasty gossip!
This looks to be fantastic. I can’t wait to see how this plays out. So loving AMC again for the first time in years.
I love that she is coming back. I’ve always loved her and loved her as Kendall but, I feel that Alicia is a great Kendal and did not want Sarah to come back if it meant Alicia was going to off the air. I love SMG she has always been a nice person and though I’m not sure, but years ago I think I read somewhere that Susan did not like SMG. It might have been a jeou thing as SMG was the one the show centered at that time, and SL came back after not being 100% successful off… Read more »
I would like to see Sarah as a drunk patron at Confusion and Kendall/Erica show up and have her get into it with them…it would be funny!!!!
In addition you could have Sarah’s character go on the attack against Erica and have Alicia as Kendall stand up for Erica and then have Sarah say something like…”You can bet if I was your daughter I wouldn’t be so nice” haha
Promoting is always good busniess.
I like Alicia as Kendall but to me the real Kendall Heart is SMG. She originated the roll as Kendall and when I think of Kendall the first picture that comes to my head is SMG. Not saying Alicia is not doing a great job, she is and she is fine !!!! Talk about a stunning woman… So if I had to lose SMG, Alicia is a good replacement… and nice to look at. Maybe they should bring SMG back as Silver, Erica’s sister !!!! I should be a writer for AMC. It wouldnt be cancelled if I was in… Read more »
