The Young People's Chorus of New York City (YPC), conducted by Artistic Director and Founder Francisco J. Nuñez, will participate in the 84th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade® joining multi-talented and Tony-nominated Ann Hampton Calloway in the television premiere performance of "Yes Virginia, there's a Santa Claus" atop the Winter Wonderland in Central Park float.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Macy's Herald Square as America's Largest Department Store just unveiled its legendary Christmas windows on Thursday, November 18 at 5pm. This year, spectators will be taken on a magical journey through the eyes of 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon who wrote to the New York Sun in 1897 in a quest to prove the existence of Santa Claus. The response, written by newsman Francis P. Church, began with the now-famous line, 'Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus...' and is viewed by those who believe as a symbol of the generosity and spirit of the season. In celebration of this spirit, this season's Christmas windows are more animated and theatrical than ever, as Macy's brings the magic of the Broadway stage to its world famous Broadway windows in its collaboration with PRG Scenic Technologies. Virginia's inspiring true story, now a CBS animated TV Christmas special, 'Yes, Virginia...,' magically comes to life via animation and automation.
Last night, August 2, audiences at Joe's Pub took a musical road trip across the country in Free to Dream, an evening devoted to the songs of Katsaros and Schermerhorn. Featuring an all-star Broadway cast including Rent star Anthony Rapp and Avenue Q's John Tartaglia and Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Free to Dream showcased the people and places that make up the fabric of America; from country, rock and pop, to swing and the blues. Proceeds from Free to Dream benefit The New York Pops' education programs, which bring music to thousands of public schoolchildren across the five boroughs of New York City. The evening was hosted by The New York Pops Music Director Steven Reineke, and featured the Camp Broadway Kids, as well as the voice of Willard Scott as ‘DJ Sam.'

Macy's presented the 'Sing For Your Tony Tickets' Finals on June 11, 2010 in Herald Square. Over the past few weeks, contestants have been submitting videos of themselves singing selected Broadway songs. On Friday, the semi-finalists sang live in hopes of winning a ticket to the Tony Awards for June 13.
With school out, snow on the ground and kids eagerly anticipating toys under the tree, the holidays are the ideal time for family entertainment. Note, for the record, that I didn't say 'children's entertainment.' There is a world of difference between entertaining kids and entertaining an entire family. For a prime example of the latter, take this past weekend's concert by the New York Pops.
Stage and screen star Jane Krakowski performs the song 'With You I'm Home' written by Wesley Whatley and William Schermerhorn.
Cheyenne Jackson, currently starring on Broadway in the hit revival of 'Finian's Rainbow' and who recently joined the cast of NBC's Emmy-award winning series '30 Rock' will join the celebrity lineup in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The magical procession returns to the Big Apple this November as the 83rd Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade kicks off the holiday season. On Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 9:00am at the sound of Let's Have a Parade, America's favorite holiday spectacular will step off with its signature giant helium balloons, floats of fantasy, marching bands, clowns, celebrity and large performance groups, and the one-and-only Santa Claus.
The 83rd edition of the Macy's Parade will mark a milestone in Parade history, going where it has never gone before. Having marched down parts of Broadway for 82 years, the 2009 procession will be the first to bypass Broadway in the long running march, lighting up 7th Avenue in its place.
On July 4, 2009, The New York Pops and Music Director-Designate Steven Reineke joined Macy's to celebrate America's birthday with a rousing musical score to accompany the nation's largest fireworks display.
