Xanadu at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

[Saqqara123]

There's a guy in the band Family Force 5 named Xanadu after the movie! chaeck him out!

[zimhudson]

are they really singing?

[mkl62]

You can type in "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" and see the line-up. It includes the bands, celebrities, floats, balloons, etc. I understand The Smurfs balloon will make its debut this year.

[mkl62]

Hey, it's only one week away.

[mkl62]

A moment from last year's parade. The 2008 edition is just around the corner. I am looking forward to it.

[whuhumuch]

you can so tell shes lip syching

[actartie]

I saw this back in December and it is the most fun I have ever had on Broadway. I STILL talk about this and recommend every goes to see this. It's hilarious. you get glow sticks!!! haha :)

[cuddlekin]

Ugh, she has such a nasal voice.

[looker768]

[NickDCPA]

[Dancing88Mike]

What the hell is this?!

[NickyFontana]

how bad is the view if you get on stage seats?

[jenloffscollinx3]

It's not bad at all.

You get to interact with the cast.

I got fed popcorn!

:]

[renethel]

haha! that's hilarious! :0

[Catey85]

I can see how they sound alike, but I can tell a difference between this girl and Olivia.

[spazzumgurl]

Argued with my mother for a good twenty miuntes over this, she was dead set in believing that Kerry was just lip-synching to Olivia's original track from the movie....had to explain that it was actually Kerry, though she does sound like Olivia here...

[LatinXTC]

Saw the show last weekend.. AMAZING is the only thing I could say. PERFECT DATE play.

[shawow111]

really? the movie was really bad. is it just like the movie or is it really different?

[LatinXTC]

You wont be disappointed. Just go.

[ihaveanenzoandphat]

it just completely pwns the movie. in every way.

just see it. you wont regret it.

[renethel]

it makes fun of the movie.

[chocolatesouljah]

Hi, The New York Times Review was very positive, apparently tongue-in-cheek. A surprise hit! Haven't seen it myself but the review had me very interested.

[loveiswhatido]

Kerry is adorable

[k9feces]

She gets my heart pumping

[sixrubberduckies]

i love her dress

lol

[aiedail0830]

Kerry Butler sounds so much like Olivia Newton-John! I know she intended to sound kind of like her, but this is a LOT like Olivia Newton-John! She's a terrific singer!

[DaisyPink13]

i danced to this song at a camp over the summer..brings back good memories :)

[anthonyraphaelv]

Cheyenne Jackson is a great singer. Kerry Butler is delightful. Curtis Holbrook is a terrific comedian & dancer. The show on Broadway was incredibly entertaining with terrific music, more singers/dancers, a wonderful script and lots of great escapist fun. The theater's lavish set also added a low to the performance. If you liked this you'll love the show; it's a winner.

[tatyrules12]

omg i love Kerry and Curtis their both Hairpsray people!!! and im a Hairspray fanatic! but Kerry has the most amazing voice and Curtis is one of my fav dancers in the movie. i havent seen this but so far i like it. but my cuzin has seen it 3 or 4 times

[ktm760]

I thought the show was better in the theater, I don't know why they just seem off here, I loved it live!

[troyful]

community theatre

[SL4Koala]

for some reason, this whole performance seems like a parody. But Kerry is amazing, and that makes up for it.

[dudewheresmydignity]

it is a parody. it's a parody of the movie onn which it's based.

[topito2011]

This was my least favorite performance from the macys thanksgiving day parade 2007!!!

[Rentisgreat]

Then clearly you dont have good taste in musicals.

[topito2011]

That was my opinion and I never judged anyone for liking it. Clearly you dont have manners :)

[looker768]

The guys look so sexy in their shorts!

[princessalkane]

is it me, or does Kerry look freakingly similar to sarah michelle gellar (with the blond wig on)?

[AnyaFanya]

The painted asphalt adds just the right level of fear to the performances...

[mischka28]

where did the All Over the World choreograhy(is that how you its spelled?) came from??

[ruthiefanfelix]

are they all singing live?

[mischka28]

of course!

[mischka28]

THEY'RE NOT

[Rentisgreat]

Actually I dont think so, barely any macy performances perform live. (They need everyone to hear them)

[dudewheresmydignity]

no. no one sings live on the macy's parade.

[mischka28]

I liked better Kerry's old dress...

Thanks for posting this!!!!

[troyful]

This show seems so low- budget. From its costumes to its 10 person ensemble. Kerry's accent is so broad that it distracts, and the whole show seems to play like "Forbidden Broadway".

[princessalkane]

The Helen Hayes Theatre is tiny. The stage couldn't hold more than 10. The costumes look low budget because it is set in 1980--which is a tragic decade all around as far as fashion goes. It's suppose to happen all in one day--so how many costume changes do you want? Kerry has multiple accent throughout the show (Australian/Southern USA/LA Valley Girlish). The musical is a tongue-in-cheek 80s romp. I think you should see the show and not just one performace before you start being critical.

thanks!
