The
trio will be in front of Macy’s iconic Herald Square flagship
store, while also added to the parade are “Wicked” star Cynthia
Erivo and Cole Escola, the star and writer of “Oh, Mary!,” the
unconventional smash that’s become the toast of Broadway.
They will join a massive group of already-announced parade stars
— including reality TV's Ariana Madix, Broadway belter Idina
Menzel, hip-hop's T-Pain, members of the WNBA champions New York
Liberty and country duo Dan + Shay.
Music performers scheduled to perform include The War and
Treaty, Lea Salonga, Kylie Cantrall, The Temptations, Chlöe,
Charli D’Amelio, Jimmy Fallon & The Roots, Coco Jones, Walker
Hayes, Rachel Platten, Bishop Briggs, Joey McIntyre, Natti
Natasha and ballet dancers Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia.
The holiday tradition will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 28 in all
time zones and will be kicked off by actor Alison Brie, the
“Glow” star currently starring in Peacock’s “Apples Never Fall.”
This year’s parade will feature 17 giant character balloons, 22
floats, 15 novelty and heritage inflatables, 11 marching bands,
700 clowns and 10 performance groups.
The parade airs on NBC and streams on Peacock. Savannah Guthrie,
Hoda Kotb and Al Roker from “Today” will host and a Spanish
language simulcast on Telemundo will be hosted by Carlos Adyan
and Andrea Meza.
Broadway also will be represented by performances from “Death
Becomes Her,” “Hell’s Kitchen” and “The Outsiders,” as well as
the iconic Radio City Rockettes and “Riverdance” dancers.
The Macy’s parade has been a traditional holiday season kickoff
and spectators line-up a half-dozen deep along the route to
cheer the floats, entertainers and marching bands. Last year,
Cher was the headliner.
