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

I would cast Seth as,a driver that Heather murders because she needs his car to make her escape.
LOL!!!
oh…so that’ s why i didn’t get the waitress role…too much backstory!! LOL…
Heyyy! Seth rocks!1 Bring him on!!!
Anybody who Can make me laugh grin and smile in the drama of the afternoon is A-OK with me!!
A big WOOT for Seth !!!
lol, yes i would cast him on GH, it would so funny, i could see him in scenes with spinneli, or max and milo, or even crazy heather, or the Quatermaines, funny funny funny.
OMG! I’ve had people audition for theatre rolls like him. That was too funny!
That’s the nuttiest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Sorry, I didn’t laugh!
Really? You didn’t find it funny? I guess to each his/her own. I laughed and thought it was silly in the best ways.
I didn’t find it funny either, but I did enjoy Mark Teschner.
I agree with Doe…………..Not funny to me at all …. I woudn’t like him on GH at all…..
I agree. Not funny. I love comedies but this was sad. Seth’s trying too hard. Teschner, you’re a natural. Take notes, Seth.
Would be a hoot if he was the new cook for the Quartermaines on GH
hahaha
Um….NO!
I don’t think so…..Too goofy for me….
I wouldn’t cast him as the waiter, that’s for sure. But I would love to see him on the show. This was very imaginative, and we could use some lightness every once and while. Kudos!
This was amazing! I had a visit with my mother today whose health has been failing. She never misses an episode of her shows and GH is her favorite, so I showed her this spoof. She was grinning from ear to ear. It was amazing to see and really warmed my heart. I hope for more happiness in her life. Thank you so much for posting, and I would love to see more. Also, I agree with Shaun in Las Vegas. Would be great to see him as the new cook.
Don’t want him on GH as the new cook or anything else…And I didn’t find it funny at all…..He wouldn’t be good for GH….
Too funny. I liked it a lot.
I wouldn’t cast Seth in GH. I also don’t find this funny. It’s a bit cheesy. I feel like Seth’s trying too hard to be liked/funny. He’ll be better off on some kiddie show, I’m sure the kids will love his type of cheesy comedy.
I LUV THIS!! I don’t see him on GH but I can see him on his own show. Love his facial expressions! And for a webisode, it’s really good. All 3 actors in this were great (well, one was a casting director).Thanks, Michael…for putting this up!!
