2024 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Broadway Performance Predictions — Page 2

Just saw on the news that bad weather could impact the parade. I’m assuming that at some point over the years inclement weather has forced the parade to be canceled or postponed. Am I correct? Anyone know? Details? I’m wondering if the Broadway shows which I believe have to pay to participate are reimbursed if the parade is nixed? Or would they transition to showing a production from inside their respective theatres? 

Here is an article on the CBS cancellation....

No, the parade has never been cancelled or postponed.  They always have a Plan B in the event of bad weather (they have camera-friendly tent set-ups for performances). The only time the parade was suspended was between 1942 to 1944 because of World War II and the fact that rubber and helium were needed for the war effort.

Are they doing any Wicked related on Thursday?

Thankfully I have purchased my new WICKED raincoat, green booties and matching umbrella to combat the dramatic weather report. See you all at the parade!

Hell’s first.

I thought these are typically entirely lip synced, but Shoshana and Maleah’s voices are sounding very rough (has Maleah been missing a lot, because this sounds like vocal damage big time).

They must’ve recorded an “as-live” track because that was…not good.

Death Becomes Her now. 

Maleah and Shoshana also were the only ones with mics on. Even Michelle Williams doesn’t have a mic on right now. 
 

HK may have been trying to show the voices live, but it was a swing and a miss if that was the goal.

The intro for DEATH BECOMES HER was HILARIOUS and a perfect pitch. The performance did emphasized that Michelle Williams is a weak link and the beginning of the performance sounded a bit rough. I did love the Thanksgiving nods in the lyrics though."

 

Yeah having Megan and Jennifer there and not letting them sing was a poor choice.

That said the parade was advertised to start at 8:30 this year 

 

 

Good thing the Outsiders cast has experience performing in the rain 

Outsiders doing the opening.
