Broadway's hit musical Xanadu has been chosen by Macy's and NBC to perform in the Thanksgiving Day Parade, Thursday, November 22 in the 9AM hour.

The performance will be a medley featuring Kerry Butler, Cheyenne Jackson, Curtis Holbrook, Anika Larsen, Kenita Miller, Andre Ward, Patti Murin, Marty Thomas and Ryan Watkinson performing "All Over The World", "Magic" and "Xanadu."

"This musical myth, set in the year 1980, tells the story of one of the nine muses of ancient Greece  who comes to earth to inspire the greatest of artistic achievements – a roller disco.  Along the way she falls in love, bumps into an Old Acquaintance and for the first time, feels the desire to create herself," according to press materials.

Starring Kerry Butler as "Kira," Cheyenne Jackson as "Sonny," Tony Roberts as "Danny" and Jackie Hoffman and Mary Testa as the evil Muses "Calliope" and "Melpomene," respectively, Xanadu's cast also features Curtis Holbrook, Anika Larsen, Kenita Miller and Andre Ward.
