The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will feature Broadway and Off-Broadway musicals during its telecast on the CBS network on November 26. The musicals scheduled to perform at the Macy's Thanksgiving parade are the Broadway revivals of
Ragtime and
West Side Story, as well as the current production of
Dreamgirls playing at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. The
West Side Story cast will sing "America," and the
Dreamgirls trio will perform the musical's title song on the show. The entire
Ragtime cast will be gathering in Battery Park to sing the show's big anthem, "Wheels of a Dream," against the backdrop of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
