So it’s that time of year again…the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and with it finding out which shows will perform. Currently my guess is Ragtime, The Queen of Versailles, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) and Chess.

My guess is RAGTIME, MAMMA MIA!, BEETLEJUICE, JUST IN TIME, and BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB.

Not Broadway, but it was already announced that Baayork Lee will stage a performance of ONE from A Chorus Line featuring NYC public school students and alumni. But I assume that might not be a full song shown on the parade, just a snippet.

MJ is casting dancers. Maybe they’re doing a flash mob instead of a traditional performance.

Who truly cares about this crap?! It’s lip-synced and every performance and choice of song gets dissected and criticized on here. WTF are people expecting? It’s an abridged musical number performed using a pre-recorded track on a carpeted performance space in front of Macy’s. Nothing more. So much more important things to do Thanksgiving morning than having my ass planted in front of a TV.

if you’re not interested why bother commenting? Thanks for your contribution, I guess.

If you don't care, that's your prerogative.  As a kid who did not grow up in NYC, I loved watching the numbers from the Broadway shows. Then, my own kids grew up watching these. I live in NYC now (as do they as adults), and I still just watch the Broadway numbers of the parade. I think it is a great opportunity for those who cannot get to NYC or can't afford a Broadway ticket to be exposed, and it is also great for these shows to have this exposure to a huge audience.  And I imagine for those who are in the parade or Broadway numbers, it is a thrill. Nobody is forcing you to watch.

You mention that the parade performances will get dissected here. So, do performances on the Great White Way. What else is new?

You mention you have better things to do on Thanksgiving. So, do those things.  I am not interested in the football games on TV on Thanksgiving but I don't begrudge those who watch them.

You've wasted time on this website since the dawn of time and you're judging others for what you feel is a waste of time? Lol
