Thankgiving Parade Performances for This Year

Macy's has just announced its plans for their 92nd Thanksgiving Parade, but I didn't see any mention of what Broadway shows are planning to perform (aside from the annual appearence of the Radio City Rockettes). Check out the plans at this site: http://www.macysparadepress.com/.

My guess is that Frozen, Mean Girls, Head Over Heels and My Fair Lady is going to perform this year for the Herald Square crowd. What's your guesses and comments? Feel free to respond.

Out of curiosity, is it the NBC producers who decide who is performing? I would imagine every show would want the publicity, assuming they could pay for the actors to perform.

Thanks to your suggestion, my guesses is now Frozen, The Prom, Mean Girls, Head Over Heels and My Fair Lady for the Macy's Parade performances. I think CBS may showcase The Band's Visit, Once on This Island and Summer on their parade coverage.

Sad to say but I doubt there is anything they will have that I will really look forward to seeing this year.

I'm hoping for The Prom since it could really use the publicity. Mean Girls and Frozen for sure, although I hope Mean Girls will perform something better than that mashup at the Tony's to show how funny that show is. The Cher Show, probably. I'm hoping that The Band's Visit will have a slot on CBS because I don't think the show will translate well into a big open space like the parade.

Beauty and the Beast also performed.

Head Over Heels will perform on CBS

So, Head Over Heels, King Kong, and Dear Evan Hanson on CBS (nice warm interiors!)

Outside on the streets NBC are Mean Girls, The Prom, Summer, and My Fair Lady.

Mean Girls is doing Fearless, I think Summer is doing Hot Stuff (as previously mentioned). I would imagine Dear Evan Hansen doing You Will Be Found, but I think that's what they did last time so not sure. Head Over Heels will for sure do one of the well-known songs, I think "We Got the Beat" would be the best, with all the dancing.
