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

there i did it for you.
And am i the only one who is excited that Sarah Brightman will be peforming. I love her so much.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Posted: 11/6/07 at 1:11pmMary 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!

Posted: 11/7/07 at 3:32pmYoung Frankenstein and Xanadu are the other two shows.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

"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.
