Participating Broadway stars included Sean Palmer and Sierra Boggess from Disney's The Little Mermaid.

In addition to musical performances, a variety of packages were auctioned online.  This year's featured item awarded fans with the highest bid the unique opportunity to be flown to New York City and learn a dance routine with Cameron Mathison that together they will perform that night on stage.  Additionally, fans acted on-stage opposite their favorite ABC stars and had the chance to appear as an extra on one of the three ABC daytime drama's.
