The curtain rose for the fifth consecutive year as the spotlight shined center stage on stars from ABC's "All My Children," "One Life to Live" and "General Hospital" as they sang and danced on Broadway for one night only in support of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The show, hosted by Cameron Mathison, was held on Monday, March 9 at Town Hall (123 West 43rd Street).

BroadwayWorld's cameras were there to celebrate the very special evening, which was full of industry support including backstage food provided by constant BC/EFA supporter Tony's DiNapoli. 

The event was part of the "Soap Nation Tour," ABC Daytime Division's ongoing initiative to interact with fans on a year-round basis, offering greater access to stars in more cities, more often.

"ABC and SOAPnet Salutes Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS" marks the fifth benefit BC/EFA has produced in conjunction with the network in support of the organization. To date, this annual benefit has raised over $1 million for the organization.

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) is the nation's leading industry-based, not-for-profit AIDS fundraising and grant making organization. BC/EFA is the on-going, committed response from the American Theatre community to an urgent worldwide health crisis. By drawing upon the talents, resources, and generosity of this community, BC/EFA raises funds for AIDS-related causes across the United States. Since its founding in 1988, BC/EFA has raised over $140 million for critically needed services for people with AIDS, HIV or HIV-related illnesses.
