One of the biggest events of Thanksgiving (outside of food and early shopping) is getting to watch parades full of spectacular showcases of design, talent, and performance. Who doesn’t love a marching band!? This year, some of your favorite Broadway musicals are joining in on the fun.

The Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS will include moments from the 95th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City with coverage from Entertainment Tonight‘s Kevin Frazier and (Showstopper girl!) Keltie Knight. Along with the enormous balloons, dynamic floats, and marching bands (there are 10!), CBS will showcase performances from Chicago and Waitress. There’s no word on what the performances might be or how they will be incorporated into the parades, but we’re excited to sing along!

NBC’s broadcast of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will also include multiple Broadway performances. Six, Moulin Rouge!, and Wicked. Broadway icons, The Rockettes will also be performing!

CBS’ broadcast will air live on the network and will be available to watch on Paramount+. NBC coverage of the parade will air live on that channel.
