Great. Thanks.

When will those be on? I think I'd rather see this than a lot of the acts in the actual parade. (I hope they're not on opposite each other.)

"Broadway show performances in the first hour include: "Put on a Happy Face," performed by the Broadway cast of BYE BYE BIRDIE; "Aquarius," performed by the Tony-winning cast of HAIR; "Shine," performed by the BILLY ELLIOT company; and "I'm a Believer," the newest addition to Shrek: The Musical sung by the Shrekies."

It says that those four shows will be in the first hour. Is that true? I thought that they would spread them out more.

Yes, I believe that NBC airs the Broadway performances at the beginning, all live, while CBS tapes them and airs them throughout the parade. Ragtime will perform, well actually has performed because I know for a fact that it has already been taped, in front of the statue of liberty.
