We're about a week out from the parade, time for a typical "What will the shows perform?" post.

So far, NBC has Hadestown, Beetlejuice, Ain't Too Proud, and Tina

Hadestown might be a strange performance overall if they perform on the route like most shows on NBC do. I think they might find some success in Way Down Hadestown, or even Road to Hell which depending on how it's cut could be a great "come see our show! Here's what it's about." number

Beetlejuice will probably have some variation of Day-O + The Whole Being Dead Thing. Losing the stage will also hinder this show, though they could get some laughs with a solid set of parody lyrics like their Today Show performance before the Tony's.

(Full Disclaimer: I do not have enough knowledge of these artists, nor have I seen the shows, so bare with me for the Jukebox musicals)

Tina: One of the bigger dance heavy numbers, since their broadway run just started recently, they can do with a repeat of "Rolling down the River."

Ain't Too Proud: Probably just their Tony Melody? I haven't seen a lot of this show press wise since post tony's, though I know it's making bank.

I think Beetlejuice is the one I'm most looking forward to based on a-seeing the show and b-their previous performances on live tv.  I really enjoy the fact that they customize the lyrics to fit the live performance like with the Tony's or the Today Show.  It makes it seem completely unique and memorable.
