I caught the two show performances on CBS All Access but it seems like the NBC streaming version on Verizon's page on youtube is not showing the Broadway shows or musical performances which was my whole reason for watching the parade. I guess it's too late to ask if there's another way to stream the NBC performances so I'm glad they have clips here.
I like the set design for the Grinch but don’t get why they went with cotton Candy pink hair and bright yellow for the costumes. Also Morrison’s costume.... the Broadway costume design worked much better

I was very happy to see Broadway perform during the parade. didn't tune into CBS, but was the Come From Away number also the one that was filmed a few years ago or was it the new cast?
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
JAGGED LITTLE PILL really proved how little it had to work for those 15 Tony Nominations!

Ha! A friend texted me and said “That was so bad I’d rather it just be about Alanis”

I think I am completely over this crap. (I say this as somebody who didn't like Jagged Little Pill in Cambridge after the first 20 minutes. My one note: "More shirtless dad," still holds.) I found all the aspects of the telecast lovely for every contingent that showed up on the parade show and did something, executing logistically complicated tasks for our entertainment and respite.
I was also wide-eyed when they showcased contingents from other parades that didn't happen this year because of the pandemic ("Because when somebody has no place to go, you invite them in on Thanksgiving" including The Mermaid Parade (with Queen Mermaid, Lynn Nottage!) and the Puerto Rican Day Parade and a member of the Big Apple Corp LGBT Marching Band with images o the Stonewall 50 Parade.
In my childhood, in my life, I could never imagine this development, especially after the year we're having and the four years we just had. I mean, to see members of the Wampanoag tribe make a LAND STATEMENT outside of Macy's, this is all symbolic of reflection and progress and growth and evolution, against all odds.
Then to swing by this thread and read the usual merde, well, here's Broadwayworld with its camera... alone.
I just cried the entire time, how embarrassing. I guess seeing no crowd and knowing Broadway is closed for a long time made me pretty sad. Joshua Henry is such a star, such a superior Burr. The Jagged number was bizarre but it was still great seeing everyone!
It just feels refreshing to see and hear new Broadway performances. I didn't mind JLP's performance, I thought they were fine right up until the very end, but I was just happy to see them together and glad they were singing live.
