Once is pre-taping their segment, does anyone know what other shows may perform on the parade broadcast?

no official info but I think "Christmas Story" and "Annie" are pretty safe bets.
The only review of a show that matters is your own.

Chaplin? Scandalous maybe? Evita? I think at least one of those shows will perform.

I feel like Bring It On might get a spot on the parade as well - it'd fit in the with multitude of cheerleaders that come to perform every year and would be good exposure should/when the tour goes back out.

Two things, one is it's IN the parade, not ON the parade.
Secondly, any show that is pre taping their segments are not going to be involved with the parade in any form or fashion. They are most likely going to be involved with CBS's show that airs the same time that the parade. Since the parade is on NBC every year and CBS is unable to show the parade or anything parade related, they typically have Broadway performances (usually pre recorded) on their own show that airs the same time as the parade does on NBC.
However, shows that are in the parade are ones are preforming it in Hearld Square at the end of the parade and are on floats during it etc.

Annie is a family favorite so it will definitely perform.

Do we have any confirmed shows or is all this just speculation and predictions at this point (and snarky comments about prepositions)?

Scandelous and Annie are basically definites since they both have ties to the Today show/NBC which is the "official" broadcaster(CBS also broadcasts it, but does not do the live performances in herald square, and if you remember correctly NBC was able to put the kibosh on GLEE a couple years back when they were the biggest thing on TV during their 2nd Season since the show is on Fox and not NBC).
Annie has done all of it's major announcements via the Today show and it's a New York "tradition"/"classic" so the only way they won't perform is if the show closes before Thanksgiving which we all know is not going to happen.
Scandelous will solely perform because of Kathy Lee's involvement since she will also be co-hosting the parade. I don't know what the show will perform since most of the shows numbers from what I remember are not really big production numbers/translate well on screen. They will most certainly perform in some capacity even if it's just Carolee singing on a float, which would likly be better for the show than performing a number since her performance is the only reason to see the show.
Once I wild think would be on the CBS broadcast since I feel that the show big enough to fill Harold Square or even the Beacon theater as most of us thought of their Tony performance.and CBS's musical performances are site specific.
Nice Work will likly preform since the NBC has recently seemed to choose shows to perform that are star driven/more recognizable titles than the more obscure shows unles they win the Tony. Which would also be why EVITA is likly to perform.
The if they have a fifth spot it will go to A Christmas Story since it is in them the theme of the the parade and the Christmas show usually performs.
My guess would be Chaplin, but I would rather it go to Edwin Drood although the show may not translate as well on the screen since it is a theaterical show.
On the CBS broadcast my guesses are:
Newsies
Once
Chaplin/EVITA if they are not on the CBS broadcast.
Elf

Thank you to everyone for participating in this thread. I look forward to the performances in or on the parade - in the broadcast, in Herald Square, on a float, on the TV, wherever. The parade performances, taped or live, always made me want to see Broadway! I was just watching "Side Show" on the parade broadcast and was so wishing it was 1997 again.

^ Exactly the same email I received about the Once performance. I am glad that a large TV audience will be able to sample these shows.

@ Rainbow, I feel the same as you. As a gay boy growing up in the Midwest, I lived for the parade and the Tonys to see Broadway shows.
That is why I was frustrated with random comments that such and such may be performing. Any show could potentially be preforming, I want to start getting excited about confirmed shows!

I don't mind the speculation, nothing is really confirmed yet but will be soon!
I also miss Rosie O'Donnell's show from the 90s. It was another outlet that fueled my Broadway obsession!

The thing is that they aren't interchangeable. You wouldn't say someone is on a show, you would say someone is in a show. The same thing goes for the parade as well.

But you would say that someone is on a TV show. Like, "Tonight, Tom Hanks is on Letterman," instead of "Tonight, Tom Hanks is in Letterman." The use of "in" there implies something even more fun.

You're right about how the word is used for TV. But, I feel that for a live event you wouldn't use the word on and use the word in instead. For example, one would say Anthony Rapp was in Rent rather than saying Anthony Rapp was on Rent. Considering that the parade is a live event, the word on doesn't work.

The thing about the parade and "in versus on," coming from an English graduate student, is that the word works in two different ways. "The Parade" is both a physical parade moving through New York, with people in it, and "The Parade" is a television programming event.
So, you see, there are three different words that can be used in different capacities. Santa Claus and Pikachu will be marching IN the parade, Al Roker and Broadway stars will be broadcast ON the parade show, and Rainn Wilson and Jane Krakowski will be interviewed among the viewers AT the parade.

Since we're being so picky here, I don't think "in the parade" and "on the parade" are interchangeable -- although I believe "in the parade" and "on parade" might be.

It's an issue of punctuation, really. Broadway shows aren't in the parade or on parade, since they aren't parading with Ronald McDonald and Hello Kitty. They are on "The Parade" broadcast, and if you tune into the parade you can see them.
