Here Are All the Broadway Performances From This Year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade has been entertaining Americans for 93 years. It guarantees giant helium balloons, marching band performances and Santa ushering in the holiday season. But there’s another reason it’s so magical: the parade it includes back-to-back free (!) Broadway performances, sure to leave you with their songs stuck in your head at the dinner table, and hoping to tempt you into diverting some of the money you’d budgeted for Black Friday sales into theater tickets.

Here are some the songs from Broadway’s hottest shows that aired during the 2019 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.
