BroadwayWorld has just learned that Cirque du Soleil - PARAMOUR's Ruby Lewis and over twenty other Cirque artists will bring their Broadway-Bound magic to the 89th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, Nov. 26, airing from 9 AM - noon on NBC.
The group will appear on the 'Dreamseeker' float which will "span many disciplines including trampoline, dance, contortion, firebreathing, and juggling."

The show will have many of the elements beloved on Broadway: a timeless love story, live musicians, and professional actors in lead roles; but with the Cirque du Soleil aesthetic integrated throughout the show: visionary production design on a grand scale, world class entertainment, and acrobatic feats that defy the imagination.
Prepare to get swept off your feet by PARAMOUR, a rapturous and passionate new experience that unites the signature spectacle of Cirque du Soleil with the storytelling magic that defines Broadway. Set in the glamorous world of Golden Age Hollywood, this groundbreaking event spins the tale of a beautiful young poet forced to choose between love and art. Featuring a cast that blends the best in circus arts and musical theatre, PARAMOUR will transport you to a world of sublime beauty and emotion as it walks the exhilarating tightrope of the heart.
