Back in 2005, ABC Daytime stars took over New York City's Town Hall stage for ABC Daytime Salutes Broadway Cares, which was intended to be a one-night show. After that first show's initial success, it was then repeated each year until 2011.

Over those seven years, ABC Daytime Salutes Broadway Cares raised an incredible $1.85 million. Now, 10 years after that final curtain call, ABC Daytime stars are revisiting these performances for a good cause.

While the streaming event is free, donations will be accepted for Broadway Cares to help those affected by HIV/AIDS, COVID-19 and others with serious illnesses to ensure they get healthy meals, life-saving medications, emergency financial assistance, housing, counseling and more.

In addition, donations will also support and champion organizations focused on social justice and anti-racism.

"In 2005 'All My Children' celebrated its 35th anniversary and we wanted to find a unique way to give back to our wonderful fans and the community," Lucci exclusively told "Good Morning America."

"To our amazement, the talented team at Broadway Cares was willing to take on our big idea for this benefit concert," she continued, noting how it was fans' support that allowed them to keep the show going.

"I'm beyond thrilled to share these performances with our fans who didn't get to see them live in New York and further support Broadway Cares during this unprecedented time," Lucci concluded.
