There has been a thread about this.

Excerpt from article on Playbill.com, November 13:

Several Broadway musicals and stars will be featured during the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which will be broadcast live on NBC-TV.

According to a Macy's spokesperson, cast members from A Chorus Line, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas: The Musical, The Color Purple and Spamalot will perform on the program. The Chorus Line revival will offer "One," Grinch cast members will present a medley of "Who Likes Christmas?" and "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," the Spamalot company will sing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," and the Color Purple cast will offer a yet-to-be determined song from the musical based on the film of the same name.

As previously announced, the parade will kick off with "Give Me a Drum," a new tuned penned by Michael Feinstein with lyrics by Bill Schermerhorn, Macy's creative director. Camp Broadway, the theatre arts education company, has selected 600 kids, ages 11-14, to be part of this festive opening, which will feature choreography by Tony Parise.

The cast of White Christmas--including Bryan d'Arcy James, Jeffry Denman, Meredith Patterson and Anastasia Barzee--will perform "I Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" on the Holiday Lovin' Oven Float. Other highlights: Julie Andrews and the School of American Ballet will offer "The Show Must Go On" atop the Mother Goose Float; former Avenue Q star John Tartaglia will ride the Doodlebug float; the Statue of Liberty float will boast Renee Fleming and the United States Air Force Band and Choir, who will sing "America the Beautiful"; and there will also be a performance by the Radio City Rockettes.

I'll be watching for the White Christmas performance all right! Must make sure I stay on the right channel though.
