  • are they lipsyncing?

  • Where's Annaleigh???

  • @pinklover9100 She left the company in late Sept for WICKED

  • Gotta Love Laura's face at 1:40 ! LOL

  • i LOVE laura bell bundy <3

  • @AmazingMe5 yeah but this is lip singing because thats want they always do for macy's. trust me i worked there.

  • Vote for Laura Bell Bundy's music video "Drop On By" on gactv.com!! :)

  • im really loving her outfit. especially the pink skirt.she is just rockin the song with that outfit.laura bell bundy is so pretty.we all know shes amazing anyway :)

  • the audio in this was prerecorded. you can tell because the audio is amazing for it being outside, and there are no mics to be seen. its cool though. it provides a better performance for us. and we all know how amazing LBB is anyhow :)

  • They don't have their costumes because they were locked in the theatre during the stange hand strike, so they had to make do with what they already had. I thought they did amazing considering what happened.

    I love Laura Bell :)

  • ive been in the parade.. its pre recorded in case there are weather issues because the parade goes on no matter what.

    and was this during the strike? is that why they dont have real costumes?

  • what strike?!

  • @orangepeal22 all the writers went on strike that year in NY

  • Everyone lip syncs this parade so that the by-standers, and us at home can have a better audio quality, also it is alot easyer without mics to deal with 'backstage'. Also there isnt the fuss of having a live band. :) xx

  • I love the Jet blue part.

  • No Annaleigh..? *looking sad, really sad*

  • lol i was thinking the same thing :(

  • I believe that everyone lip sings at this Parade, for sure the broadway performances, they don't even have Mics do they? Awe, the theater this played at was the only one in the Parade affected by the strike so they couldn't wear their costumes, but the other shows got to.

  • it would have been too cold for them to sing live!

  • God, she must have been fah-reezing. New York in November is torture!

  • this is made of awesome.

    we like broadway too! check us out.

    -kelly, aka wednesday

  • i love her outfit, haha especially the leg warmers.

  • HAHA! At 2:19 she fixes her bra!

  • i think she is really singing because it was raspy in the beginning...more than usual...but it seemed during the dance break it could have been lip synching...i dont really know

  • Wow, that was good! :] Is she really singing?

  • usually in performances like this, meaning it is being shown live and being recorded, the performers are lip singing so us the people at home, can hear them better.

  • The parade was great this year but it wasn't the same without Legally Blonde in it!

  • She must have been burning up everyone is sweating! She must be in great shape!

  • i bought the grey LBTm shirt b.c LBB wore it in this video :] imma hugeee fan of her and this play

  • i went to see this last weekend. i met bailey and autumn at the stage door and got pictures with both of them. bailey was adorable!!!! she was so nice and tiny. and autumn was really nice. i also met the person who played brooke and a few other people. and during the show bailey was a really cute elle but she wasn't as good as laura bel bundy. and orfeh was so amazing.

  • YAY LEG WARMERS

  • Who else did you meet when you went to the Legally Blonde stage door? I'm so bummed it is closing before I got a chance to go to NY.

    Did you meet Christian? I have met Nikki Snelson when she was in A Chorus Line, and Andy Karl and Gaelen Gilliland in 9 to 5- all in Los Angeles. They were all very sweet.

  • Only this weekend and next weekend left!

  • i wish bailey would sing a song and stuff at the next parade

    :'D

  • It's too bad the show is closing in a couple of weeks,so she won't be able to do it.

  • ya and i dont autumn will ever be able to play elle cause she was the understudy.

  • Annaleigh Asford wasn't there, is she still doing the show?

  • Annaleigh isnt in the show anymore

  • aww really? i really liked her!!

  • yah i know annaleigh was awesome! but now that legally blondees going off boaway! no ones in the show anymore lol!

  • Annaleigh left to pkay Glinda in "Wicked" She was in Chicago, but I don't think she is there now.

  • Oh. REALLY???? IN WICKED?????? I LOVE WICKED!!!! and Glinda is my favorite character. She can't be as good as Kristin Chenowethwas, no one can beat Cheno.

  • Annaleigh had so much personality in Legally Blonde even though she wasn't a major character. Just put in her name and you can find some clips with her as Glinda. Of course, who can be as good as Kristin? She's amazing! I saw Megan Hilty as Glinda in LA twice and she was fantastic and funny. Then I saw her last month in 9 to 5. Megan is very sweet and funny.

  • Annaleigh is the Galinda boss!

  • Annaleigh is great! I heard she is in Chicago now? Is that true? My favorite Fiyero, Kristoffer Cusick in there in Chicago. He is wonderful!!!

  • Oh yep. She's been there since June hah. ZOMGGG haha I love Kristoffer<333 I want to see that company really badly. But I doubt it :/ I got to see Annaleigh on Broadway though :D

  • Exactly. Haven Burton is playing Margot in this video. Anneleigh Ashford left to do Wicked on Broadway and now she is closing the Chicago production. Haven Burton is appearing in the Musical adaptation of Shrek.

  • I love her shirt, I have the same one. [: But so does like every LB fan in the world. Lmao.

  • is laura bell wearing leg warmers?!?

    gotta love LBB!

  • um yea...i was there (as ive said b4) and it was freezing i was wearing a huge leather jacket and everything and i was still cold..imagine her!! a mini skirt and teeshirt i dont blame her =] lol yea u gotta love LBB

  • i was there! great performance

  • Was this during the strike, so they couldn't use their normal stage outfits?

  • yea...i rember watching the news b4 i left to c the parade live (yay!) and they said they cant use there real costumes

  • why can't they? When Kriti Chenoweth and Idina Menzel preformed "One short day" from wicked at the Macy's parade, They were in costume. Kristin even wore a Corset!!!!! (Sorry im obsessed with Kristin Chenoweth)

  • because of the strike and chenzel =] was able to do it because there wasnt a strike that year...and dnt b srry im obsessed with dee =]

  • I luv her cute lil pink cheer outfit!lol!

    Is she lip singing?She's not is she?Idk it kinda looks like she is

  • nope! she just sounds a lot like the cd b/c these broadway stars dont have effects on their voices like most of the singers now a days. so the broadway singers sound the same live as on their cd

  • thats why i love broadway

    they all sound the same no matter if it's live or CD because they are just so talented!!! i love this musical and i really want to see it!!

  • me too! They are just so real!! They have real talents unlike some singers who's voices are changed!

  • this was during the strike, right?

  • yup.

  • Everyone at the Macy's Parade Lip Syncs.

  • You are lucky! Did you meet anyone else in the cast?

  • I love the dancers, Nick Kenkel and Paul Canaan.

  • I got to meet Paul outside the stage door last weekend. It was so cool because he's one of my favorite cast members!

  • I was there last weekend too! What day were you there?

  • Saturday for the 2:00 show.

  • That is great! He was so funny as a judge

    "You're a hit!" Anytime there is a Legally Blonde anything around NY, Paul is always there. I wonder why he left the show Sunday? Any clues as to what he is doing next?

  • He left! I had no idea! I'm so glad I got to meet him/see him perform before he left.

  • i was there. it was so good!

  • can you guys tell their all lipsyncing?? :P

    haha

    they still rock though :)

  • who is margot???

  • thats what i was thinking. i think its becky gulsvig or however you spell it.

  • the actual live number was obviously more amzing than this. with the costumes and stuff but this is still great. LBB's costume was so sparkly i was like OMGGGG!

  • This was during the strike, so because of that they couldn't wear their costumes. The other shows like Mary Poppins and Frankenstein's workers were not on strike, so they were able to be in full costume.

  • I know that. I'm not stupid!

  • Relax. I'm not calling you stupid. Some people just didn't know why they weren't in regular costume. So what do you think of the new Elle? I was happy to see Bailey get the role. Jerry Mitchell was smart to cast the other girls too after all that work!

  • Believe me, I know about the strike. i was heartbroken and yes I love Bailey. I'm thrilled.

  • I was glad when the strike was over! How many times have you seen the show?

  • if we're not counting MTV, I've seen it twice. I just saw it for my second time on Friday.

  • i know they were on strike but what were they on strike for?

  • It had to do with the stagehands, not the actors. Producers wanted to be able to hire nonunion people to set up and strike sets right before and after a show goes in or out. But the union only wants union people on the job, so that is why they were striking.

  • i love LBB outfit!!!!

  • i have to have lbb's skirt!

  • cool!!

  • ahhaaaa 2:06- idk when it ends is hilariousss

    i love this musicalll

  • Elle Woods = My idol

  • even though they aren't in their costumes....their clothes are adorable! i LOVE laura bell's leg warmers!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love the dance sequence from 1:51 to 2:04!

  • me too!!! it's adorable!!

  • how come they are not in their costumes and they did not have the same banner it said ell woods... (i couldn't read it) but the one they use has a picture of elle and warner

  • its freaking like 5* out there so they probably wanted to dress a lil warmer. lol

  • Cause the people were on strike, so they weren't allowed the use the props and the actual costumes.

    It's cool because it shows you how the people really look without their costumes and wigs and stuff.

  • I luv thiss

    i love the choreography from 1.08- 1.22

    awesome

    =]

  • i luv her outfit especially the leg warmers!! lol so lbb she's adorable!!!

  • I want that pink skirt! So cute!

    Love you Laura Bell! You rock

  • I went to the show

  • When and Why was the stage people on strike??? I keep hearing about it but I didn't hear about it before!!!

  • they wanted more money.

  • CUTE! But she had arm pit stains lol

  • haha who cares =]

  • its funny.. cause the people doesnt no whats going on... Lol

  • i love their shirtts<3

    oh and of course laura bell.<3!

  • i love HER!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HER DANCING, HER OUTFIT and this song is MY LIFE

  • Amazing performance, so much energy and Laura Bell Bundy is just wonderful but I almost wish they had sung a different song but I guess this one is the best preview for the show

  • why is laura bell bundy such an amazing dancer? and singer? and actress?

    I LOVE HER!

  • I saw this and i was shaking the whole time. This show and Laura Bell Bundy made me decide that iw ant to do theatre

  • its not loadingg. ]:

  • i love how everyone is wearing legally blonde shirts!

  • They had to wear those shirts because of the strike...everything u are watching was thrown together by the cast bc the stagehands and wardrobe people were on strike...but they do look amazing despite all that :)

  • btw i love her leg warmers

  • thats gotta suck to be singing in the freezing cold in a uniform but i love this song and legally blonde! i get to meet her on may 10th!

  • If you remember it was actually kinda warm that weekend. :D

  • i'm a huge Legally Blonde fan but i think this was a poor song choice to perform. idk i'm just not feelin' it...

  • one question. i understnad why they coulndt get their costume but i noticed that all of the other performances from broadway on the paradehad costumes?? how come??

  • it was because they couldnt get through the strikers into the Palace Theater

  • their costumers might not have agreed with the strike, or like the offlocation ones, they were filmed before.

  • It was due to the strike, the stagehands to be exact, they could not use wardrobe and props.

  • i was responding to someone a few pages back who was asking why some of the other shows had costumes.

  • The others perform in theaters not affected by the strike, the actors did not want to cross the pickets lines, so they made due with what they had, in this case show show logo shirts.

  • We were going to watch this during our trip to NYC on Veterans' Day. Then it turned out that the writers and cast were on strike. We still haven't got our refund :(

  • even though they didnt have their costumes Laura Bell looked so cute. loved the leg warmers

  • i have the shirt laura's wearing. lol. love this musical. :)

  • They couldn't get their real costumes because of the strike, one of the ensemble cast member's mom made the skirts and the shirts are what all broadway shows wear except...for their show.

  • I'm an idiot. I thought you said you hated the shirt she was wearing :( My bad!

  • That's cute that one of their mom made the skirts. They looked great! It wasn't as fancy as the real costumes, but they looked so cute anyway.

  • I got my Legally Blonde ticket for Christmas! I cannot wait to go in March!! I remember watching this thinking UGH I want to see it so BAD!! Then I watched the show on MTV that night. I fell asleep after act one because I felt sick. But I actually also got one of those Legally Blonde shirts like the ensemble was wearing. I wanted a white on like Laura's but hey a Legally Blonde shirt is a Legally Blonde shirt! I am wearing it to the show!!

  • Defygravity..you are SO lucky!! hope you have fun.:-D

  • Thanks. I wish it wasn't so far away. But it will be worth it!

  • LOL! She's wearing leg warmers!

  • guys this was during the strike they couldn't get in the theatre!

  • How come they didnt have costumes but the JetBlue guy did? and how come they couldnt get there costumes coz of the stagehand strike ?? JW xx

  • I don't think they have costumes b/c it would have been to much of a hassle. its just a parade and the costumes are probely too expensive.

  • no! thhey already have costumes it wouldnt have cost any more! but they wernt allowed 2 use costumes! they were locked up! i found out lol

    x

  • oooooh

    Well thats makes sense.

    :)

  • OMG is that an armpit sweat stain on Laura Bell at 1:00 when she lifts her arms? Oh well, I still love LBB <3

  • Yeah I noticed it too!

  • Are they even singing???

  • Nope. All performers at Macy's Day performance lipsing.

  • no shes singing thts how it sounds when she sings

  • ...No. A few hours before they actually perform, they have a dress rehearsal. They record that and the actors lipsynch to that during the live performance. Everybody does it for the Macy's Day Parade. It's not a big secret or scandal.

  • LAURA BELL= YAY!!!!

  • This has nothing to do with the writers strike. Get you're facts before you critique please. :-)

  • It was the stagehands. Not the writers..

  • no the writers r striking too

  • yeah writers & stagehands WERE strinking but the stagehands was y performances stopped xx

  • She squeals on the "I'm"..what you want[...]

  • i saw that 2

  • yeah aggiecorps88 they sing live at the proformence but at the parade they lip sink

  • wow shes definetly lip singing

  • All the performers lip synch. I mean their in the middle of the road.

  • lol true, however if there going to say that "The original cast" are the ones singing then maybe they could actually ing it for real. Just my opinion, if i wanted to hear a voice over i would have put on the CD.

  • love this song it is soooooooo cool

  • Oh, and we were talking with the cast and they were like "umm we dont know what we are going to do about costumes" lol

  • OMG! I WAS THERE!! we saw them warm up this song.

  • I'm still surprised that Laura hasn't gotten whiplash from that bit around 2:18. lol

  • Too bad it's not live, LBB sings amazing live!!

  • I <3 LBB's Facial Expressions

    :)

  • that strike was sooooooo fcking annoying! thanks god for ending it!

  • wat was the strike about and y and how did it start?

  • stagehands (people who are the backstage helpers) were working without a contract since July, 31, 2007 becuase they did not reach an agreement. producers wanted the cut their benefits, hours, etc.

  • It's True.

    It's quite obvious in the otehr acts too.

    Everyone does it, it doesn't matter, we know these people.

    Or they wouldn't have been casted..

  • It is true. All performances are lipsynched. It's not a secret.

  • YAY!! I wanted this on here! Thank you! They were great despite not having costumes. But the strike is over! Praise the good Lord!

  • the strikes over????!!! THANK GOD.

  • Yup AMEN!

  • WHERE DIDJA HEAR THAT?? ITS OVER?

  • Um. The news.

  • I am so glad that you added this!! I missed it by like 45 minutes....I wish they could have had atleast all the costumes b/c Laura's is soo cute from the musical...but I liked what she wore here to the skirt and leg warkers looked cute.

    Thanks again! <33

  • guess we'll never know if she is great or not in lip syncing since she's not lip syncing in this performance..

  • All the performances are lip sync.

    This one included.

  • does that include the preformances? Cuz I am pretty sure that there live, But since it's so hard to sing in this kind of condition, it's lip synced...just wondering

  • it is lipsung becuase it is on national television and things could go wrong

  • yea i knew that i realized i didn't say what i ment to say...i ment the braodway proformances are live, just not like live TV

  • While Laura and the rest of them were great in this performance, I felt like they could have done a better song.

  • I think they should've done the Bend and Snap song instead.

  • is it just my computer that's only playing the vid one minute and 25 seconds in?

  • is it just me or is laura bell not the great at lip syncing?

    nothing against her but they should have sang live.
