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

Can’t wait!!!!!!! bye bye Britch
Aww, poor Britt.
Nope its out this week. Then the battle over Ben begins
Maybe its Victor Cassidine funding the Jeromes…not Madelyn or we’ll have two cops, Dante and Nathan, with a parent who is head of the mob! Im still hoping the twist is Maxi is really Bens mother…there could have been an egg switch and Britt has carried Maxis son and Dante is still the father…crazy maybe but dont forget Ron C. is writing this show…LOL!!!
Well I lost faith in RC’s ability to surprise us when he wrote the lame ending to the who killed Connie story— that was such a let down that I no longer believe any wild crazy scenarios are forthcoming with this one; Ben is Lulu’s and Dante’s end of story- everyone guess it months ago when Britt showed up pregnant, just like everyone knew AJ stood for Ava Jermone when Connie died—it was only us with some imagination that held hope for a real shocker than never came. In my book RC is becoming predictable as every other soap writer… Read more »
I so agree with you…instead of giving us something totally unexpected to make the show fun and exciting he takes the predictable easy way out…no real shockers!!!
Well, his shockers end up being ludicrously absurd so its hard to say whether that is preferable to lamely predictable. I am so annoyed at the way he has ruined GH. I personally wish ABC would go back twenty, twenty-five or thirty years and just show reruns from that time forward. I bet they would get more viewers that way.
I think it could be Silas’s mother-in-law back rolling JEROME’S . That’s why they aren’t looking at Ava as he person of interest !
Yeah, let’s go back to when GH was so believable, with the Ice Princess and the freezing of Port Charles… smh…!!!
This has been a year and a half, let the truth be told
I hope that lulu and Dante take Britt through the hoop…she is a liar…walk away Nicholas now
Can’t wait to see the fireworks this week!
I kind of like Britt now…
Can’t wait to see this unravel!
Who is Julian working with? I wonder if it’s Jerry… Again… At this point maybe it’s too obvious to be Rick.
While the indications may seem to point to Jerry, it sounds as though this person is going to be more of a surprise….don’t forget Mr. Jacks already shared a brief scene with Ava and Julian last year when he fell from the roof of the MetroCourt and they rescued him and aided in his escape. If Jerry were bankrolling the Jeromes as partners in crime, wouldn’t it have been more obvious then? Their relationship was not clarified, but they definitely knew each other. Ava was there and seemed in on whatever link they had…..the other day, Julian appeared intent on… Read more »
Luke isn’t Luke. Bill Eckert back from the dead posing as Luke.
Or Jerry Jacks wearing a Luke mask…and behind the Jeromes!!!
Ugh. No more stupid masks!
I am on the edge waiting!!
WHOOOPIE!! the time has come..
I really like RC’s twists and turns and surprises..
But.. I do want Britt to have Ben 🙁
ohh well, it is soap and not always written as what ya want lol ..
I am so sick and tired of Brit getting away with her deceitful ways and her continued lies. It is time for her to pay a price for all she’s done. and it is time for Nikolas to get a grip and walk away from this lying Britch!! Can we wrap up this story line like NOW !!!
This story could have been much more interesting if it hadn’t been so obvious from the onset. Another wasted story opportunity while the audience has figured out the truth for a year or so! Ho Hum!
Can’t wait… let the games begin!!!
This is the most ridiculous storyline, that has gone on for far too long. I actually like “The Britch.” Great actress. Love her scenes with “Muttah.” Dante and Lulu bore me to tears now, now that Julie Marie Berman is gone. Was never a huge Lante fan; Dante is written as a keystone cop with an ego. Not sure he’s ever solved a case. Anyhoo, Lante was bearable with Julie Marie Berman. Not so much now. Love seeing Nik more. Tyler Christopher is so handsome. Great actor, too! Love having the Cassadines back!
I agree with this post…ridic storyline…yes…Dante and Lulu should have had an investigation into why their embryos were destroyed. I love Britt and Dr O. Dante and Lulu WERE my favs when JMB was there…loved them so much and I still miss them. I would rather see Dante move on without this version of Lulu. I love Nik too….he is great with so many including Britt and Liz.
I think the big twist is that Luke is going to rape Kiki.
Just like he did Laura at the disco…hope she doesnt get preggers…ugh!!!
The story has been spun out for so long that viewers really don’t care any more. Let Lulu and Dante have their child so they can fade into the background. There are other stories to be told. Maxie is coming back — will she have her daughter with her? Sonny is going to go through meltdown number 153, or something close to that. If he were to land in Miscavige and forgotten by all concerned, it wouldn’t bother me one little bit. Maybe Carly and Franco can share a padded cell with him. What is up with Luke? Good story… Read more »
I think Jerry is wearing a Luke mask…Tracys son Ned is returning…where is Bobbi? If Drake was on the show(he is back on Days) id like him to play Jeff Webber…
I hope the truth comes out …………. this storyline as been dragging on way to long. I can’t stay Britt! As for the surprise I have no clue! Cheers!
can’t wait for the stuff to hit the fan… the fur to fly… and is Britt really the bio daughter of Fiason and Obrecht? Always wondered if Leisel (?) did the same thing trying to keep Faison.
Me too! Liesl’s reaction to Victor Cassadine’s initial appearance seemed suspiciously tense, like she had something to hide, perhaps her daughter’s true paternity? Normally, this lady is usually so cool, calm and collected, yet she was truly unhinged when she encountered him that first day at Wyndemere. But then again, if Britt is actually related to Nik, wouldn’t Dr. O. have been opposed to her upcoming marriage? Hmmmm…..
she seemed scared of him, to me. Which is odd, since he seemed like a nice Cassadine, not obviously evil like Helena I mean. So wonder if he’ll be around any more? I figure the egg he gave to Spencer was a bug for Robin’s house. Was hoping Patrick would have found it when he broke the other day…. otherwise the bug is now hiding in Kelly’s diner! ha!
Don’t let Victor fool you because he is so charming and debonair….he is still a bad one, just not quite as evil as his brothers, Helena and crazy nephew(s.) But he has always been my favorite Cassadine, and from what I have read, there is a good possibility that he will return….I certainly hope so! I think he has a lot more going on in Port Charles than meets the eye! Never considered a bugged Faberge’ egg angle, but that would have been a clever idea!
If they bring back those stupid masks, then the nickname ReRon for the head writer really is appropriate.
I can’t wait!!
I don’t want Britt to have the baby either!
I want them to give us a scene with Leslie Charleson and Donna Mills. Something like
MONICA: You remind me of my sister. She was bich just like YOU are!
I actually watched an old LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING scee on You Tube. Amazing to see the both so young!
I posted that a few times about Donna and Leslie but i want them to play estranged sisters on the show who havent talked to each other in years because Maddie stole Ninas father from Monica which couldve happened before Monica was involved with the Webber brothers and before she moved to Port Charles. It would be sort of a nod to their old soap where they played sisters in love with the same man played by David Bernie…Leslie and David use to date in real life!!!
That’s too bad, because I love Nik and Britta, but I can see now that they’re going to destroy them to reunite him with Liz. Well, sorry but I will never like the two people who broke Lucky’s heart in such a cruel manner.
As for Lulu, I’ve never liked her, hated the way she treated Maxie over baby Georgie, and do not want her to have a baby. Ben belongs with Britt, but having him be Lulu is all a part of destroying Nikitta I suppose.
Everyone wants Britt to pay for what she has done, well tell me who on this show ever pays for what they have done. Sonny shoots people in cold blood all the time. he is standing right in front of them and they live Dante, AJ . No wonder he thinks Shawn is a great killer for hire. Two peas in a pod. I have changed my mind and I like Britt. I also like Lulu, Dante the perjurer not so much. . I won’t bother to watch this .I don’t care . Will Scummy shoot Britt? Maybe Faison can… Read more »
I am trying to find out where I can get the dress that Lulu was wearing at the engagement party. The black and white.
