Macy's today announced the final lineup of star performances for the 88th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade®. On Thursday, Nov. 27, Broadway's best shows will be joined by the new musical comedy Honeymoon in Vegas and the float line up of performers will see the addition of pop rockers American Authors and country duo Dan + Shay. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade airs on NBC-TV, 9 a.m. - noon in all time zones.

Honeymoon in Vegas the eagerly anticipated new musical with book by Blazing Saddles and Fletch writer Andrew Bergman and score by three-time Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown began performances this week at the Nederlander Theatre (111 West 41st Street).
