Aww, I was debating replying to this, had a GH obsession in the mid 90s, but in the process watched past episodes and such.
In answer of the rebroadcasting these episodes, before Port Charles premiered, ABC had "Daytime to Remember" that Reba McEntire hosted that I think showed classic eps from all the ABC soaps, but my sis had all the GH ones on tape, those were cool to see.
Wow no pun intended but I loved Lucy! Had to reply to the Nurses Ball, I loved those! Wizard of Oz in '95, Lucy/Katherine feuds, how Lucy always ended up in her undies during "one," Hey Big Spender in '98...man lotsa showtunes.
In terms of Alan/Emily...they were in the Wizard of Oz together, Emily was Dorothy and Alan/Stu was the lion.
Not sure if I can remember any others...Emily joined Edward for "I don't need anything but you"...also loved Wally Kurth in the ball
And I love "The Power To Believe." I have Wally Kurth's rendition on CD, it's one of the most gorgeous songs ever.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
