The nation's most beloved spectacle, the Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, returned this morning for the 87th year of magic. To kick off the holiday season, more than 8,000 participants marched through the streets of Manhattan at the sound of the time-honored words "Let's Have a Parade." Against a backdrop of more than 3.5 million spectators and more than 50 million viewers nationwide, the parade's signature elements, including its giant balloons, floats of fantasy, performers and the one-and-only Santa Claus, rang in the holiday season with unrivaled celebration.

Enhancing the Parade's signature entertainment were the world-famous Radio City Rockettes helping to kick-off the holidays, along with performances from Broadway's best musicals including "Kinky Boots," "Pippin," "Matilda," "Motown: The Musical," "Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella," "First Date" and "A Night with Janis Joplin."

To celebrate this special tradition, BroadwayWorld flashes back to our favorite parade performances of the past. Check out which ones made the list below!
