"It's Turkey Lurkey Time"

More info on Macy's Parade

Lea Michele and Jon Groff will be on the M&M Candy Float. The colorful M&M’s are at it again, this time taking Broadway by storm. Red and Yellow, along with Blue, Green and Orange have transformed into Broadway stars taking the stage in the best productions on the Great White Way. Taking a ride on a Broadway themed float, the colorful chocolate bunch take on roles in some of Broadway’s best-hit musicals. Red transforms into King Arthur in Spamalot, Yellow and Orange tap dance their way onto the front of the line in A Chorus Line, Green defies gravity as Elphaba in Wicked, and Blue hides behind the Phantom’s mask in The Phantom of the Opera. Joining the tasty stars will be Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff, stars of the Tony Award(R) winning Spring Awakening, performing "Give My Regards to Broadway."


Legally Blonde
will be performing "What You Want" and Mary Poppins will be performing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." The original Christine Daae Sarah Brightman will be performing as well as Nikki Blonsky from Hairspray and Anika Noni Rose (of Dreamgirls and Caroline, or Change), and I just read that Xanadu will be doing a medley of songs.

Exciting stuff in store, I'd say.


And in other news, Equus is crossing the pond and coming to Broadway sometime next year, complete with Daniel Radcliffe. Poor guy; Equus is a great play and I've heard he does a great job in it, but something worries me that most people are going to go just to see "Naked Harry Potter" and miss the point of the play and the strength of his performance.
