If you thought Alicia Minshew brought some serious drama as “All My Children’s” Kendall Hart Slater, you haven’t seen anything yet! The petite actress has served up quite a large performance as Aunt Toniann in Broadway’s “My Big Gay Italian Wedding,” and there’s only one more chance to catch it!
Followed by a previous performance last weekend, this Saturday, May 11, marks the final time the actress will be appearing in the production, which is presented by Bianco Productions (a company helmed by former “One Life to Live” and “As the World Turns” director, and current “All My Children” supervising producer, Sonia Blangiardo).

Susan Lucci’s Erica Kane was generally the glue that held “All My Children’s” Kendall Hart Slater (Alicia Minshew) and Jackson Montgomery (Walt Willey) together, but this time, the two are teaming up solo! And if you’re a fan of either of the actors, who are known for their real-life silliness and humor that they rarely had the chance to show onscreen in Pine Valley, then you definitely don’t want to miss it.
If you haven’t yet had a chance to meet some of your favorite “All My Children” stars via the very popular A Tribute to Pine Valley tour, then you’re in luck: Three more dates and locations have been added to the successful tour!
You can catch Walt Willey (Jackson Montgomery), Alicia Minshew (Kendall Hart Slater), Vincent Irizarry (David Hayward), Darnell Williams (Jesse Hubbard), Debbi Morgan (Angie Hubbard) and Jacob Young (ex-JR Chandler, now “The Bold and the Beautiful’s” Rick Forrester) on Saturday, May 4, at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts in Jacksonville, Florida, then again on Sunday, May 5, at the Studio Gallery at Fontanel in Nashville, Tennessee, and yet again on Sunday, May 19, at the House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio!

Earlier today, a fan asked the beloved beauty via Twitter if she’s been approached for the reboot of the classic show. Her response: “Yes and no. Not for the next round of shooting.”
