According to a Macy's spokesperson, cast members from Legally Blonde will perform "What You Want," while the Mary Poppins company will offer "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." Two other Broadway productions (to be announced shortly) as well as the Radio City Rockettes will also perform.

Also of interest to theatre fans: Spring Awakening's Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff will belt out "Give My Regards to Broadway" atop the M&M's Chocolate Candies on Broadway float.

Edit : Lea Michele not Michelle- sorry- It seems like I cant re-edit the title page. Sorry for typo

Sarah as "a" Pirate Queen?! AWESOME I adore her.

The M & Ms float sounds very cute.

no shows perform if the strike happens

[jv92]

Posted: 11/6/07 at 1:11pm

Mary Poppins would actually perform since a strike would not affect that show.

Maybe Legally Blonde will "give up" jv92 when you stop caring so much. Don't you know, they're only existing to bother you!

"Maybe Legally Blonde will "give up" jv92 when you stop caring so much. Don't you know, they're only existing to bother you!"

It's a mediocre piece of crap. It's off the same quality of Do I Hear a Waltz?, Her First Roman, I Had a Ball, and all of the other various mediocre shows of the mid 60s that ran 150-200 or so performances and then shuttered. It should give up. MTV didn't work, this won't work. It's just a lousy show. They have to get over it. I admire a lot of the people involved too. It's just not very good.
