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

Everyone new promo released makes me smile. The New OLTL promo with the new EP calling a grand slam and the fans did bring a tear. I am still watching the OLTL preview and getting emotional at the beautiful sets and costumes, the cast I love and excited to Shelter and all that happens there. I have never watched AMC but I am ready and willing now
One Life’s “First Day of School” doesn’t seem to be available yet…at least not in my iTunes Store.
Every time I see these new promos, I get emotional and pumped up at the same time. Jennifer Pepperman “grand slam” comment is on the money because for me, this is a beautiful grand slam that these soaps are back. Of course, the icing on the cake for me is my girl, Tea “F-fantastic:)” Delgado is keeping it realz:). Thank u Agnes Nixon, Prospect Park, show crews, actors, fans, and everyone involved in breathing new life into these shows and last, but certainly not least is thank u Mr. Fairman:-) for all that u do for the soap community to… Read more »
I love Florencia (Tea) as well. I just love how Flo makes you forget she is acting. I only wish I could have seen the clip before it was taken down. I am surprised they didn`t re-edit it and re-post it 🙁
This is wonderful. I’m so excited.
I’ve gotten onto Itunes and the videos are nowhere to be found. I’d love to view them but I can’t. Can someone assist me?
I can’t find the newest video (first day of school) on the oltl page it just has the 3 previous videos. AMC has theirs up I downloaded that one in case they shared it but that is only AMC and I don’t care about that one. Did they take it down for some reason. I really want to see Tea tearing into Mathew
I hate iTunes..
It was the most evasive program I ever had in my PC and I took it out and freed up a huge amount of storage space getting rid of the bandwidth thief..
dumb thing was in my drivers etc too..
And it is a nightmare to navigate,, confusing.
I go to Amazon for my movies, download music etc..
One clean click and the download is done and music mine 🙂
I know some people will be forced to use iTunes to watch the 2 soaps, but HuLu is 100 times better and one click.
I will stay with HuLu:)
So far, I agree with you. Just signed up with iTunes today. The customer service person I spoke with had no information about OLTL or AMC. He didn’t seem to have heard of either and certainly had no information about them being available on iTunes. What he did tell me was episodes of TV shows cost $2-$3 per episode or a bulk rate of $26 per series season. He said we would have to wait until the shows air to learn the actual price of these shows. If this is true, and I’m not sure it is since this guy… Read more »
It’s looking like .99 cents per episode on iTunes.
If you’re looking at more than 8 shows a month, Hulu plus is cheaper
I’ve been re-loading iTunes and checking Hulu and can NOT find this clip!!!
I watched the OL clip earlier,and Tea definitely drops an F Bomb,but when I went to watch again,the clip had been removed from ITunes.
Can someone post a link so we can see it if we don’t have itunes?
It’s not listed on iTunes. Apparently there is rumor it was pulled. I watched the preview video and when it ended the list of videos showed up with the newest one. I had watched it earlier so I’m not sure if that is why it popped back up that way.
Oh, PP pulled the OLTL video because they were careless and might have made a confirmation they wished to avoid. We missed it. I hope someone can post it for us.
I saw the video yesterday morning when it first came out. PP pulled the video a few hours later because in it someone put a scene in a hospital and in the background in a far off doorway was Trevor St John(Victor Lord Jr). I guess his being on OLTL was supposed to be a guarded secret but SOMEONE boobed up big time.
I saw that too…..HA!! The Real Todd Manning Yea Baby!!!!
That is fantastic news. I so want Trevor back.
not the real Todd Manning – his twin Victor Lord Jr. The real Todd is played by Roger. But love them both. Since both showed up I like Todd with Blair and Victor with Tea cuz they are really good chemistry together> It goes to show all for actors are great because no matter which combo they are currently in they are all good.
