Macy's Thanksgiving Parade 2009 - Shrek

The Broadway cast of Shrek performs on the 2009 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

[@heytherejere]

From what I read it's the closing song. They do it after Curtain Call as an encore.

[@MMfan365]

great show, great cast, great song!!! I so wanna see the show again when it goes on tour!!!!

[@disneyrini23]

I'm glad they added this song into the show, it was one of my favorite scenes from the movie

[@ChelseaH17]

This was awesome. I love this musical. I haven't seen it yet, but the music is incredible. I sang Who I'd Be for a state competition and advanced on to nationals. I can't wait till the tour comes to my town next fall!

[@Bellerrzz]

I screamed and started dancing when this came on. I looooooove Shrek The Musical! ;D

[@poisonheart1313]

I love Sutton Foster.

[@blackbelt360]

It's so fun seeing some of the alternate fairy tale creatures, like the Mad Hatter and Tweedle Dee. Does anyone know who the character is on Farquaad's left starting around 2:17? Looks to be some sort of male witch with a purple pointed hat.

[@TrollSlayer2001]

Shrek is love, Shrek is life.

[@BroadwayMusicalFreak]

When I saw this, the song wasn't yet added to the show. I saw it in March.

[@cherriepie1231]

i love donkey his is soooooo CUTE

[@entertainer1987]

He needed a break before doing his next show "Time Stands Still" which begins performances in January.

[@zach2992]

Love. This Show. Saw it in May and can't wait to see it again.

[@Tigger0Tiger]

yes for most of them but those are the most popular ones, the new beginning ones are on Broadway for about a year, then they go on tour and then go back.

[@markbundles2]

2:23 -- Chris as "Lord Farquaad" busting a move there is funny. Costumes are SWEET!!

[@Melensko]

sooo much fun

[@entertainer1987]

Great addition to the musical. I can't wait for the tour!

[@Tigger0Tiger]

I know! Same here! I haven't even seen it but I absolultly LOVE it!!! :DDD

[@celinesenden4142]

I love this musical

[@MusicmasterC2002]

that's wicked witch with a full cape over her costume. of the fairy tale creatures, she's showing a serious amount of skin usually

[@Tigger0Tiger]

[@OWERS23]

[@musicalperson17]

it's so wierd seeing ben crawford as shrek, i saw brain d james on his last weekend

[@ycsdramaqueen]

@Bellerrzz Omg me too!! XD I was so excited!

[@mkl62]

It's less than a month away.

[@BroadwayMusicalFreak]

The idea for it to be in the show didn't come till early October.

[@musicalperson17]

i didnt see his last show but i went to the stage door because it ended the same time as mamma mia which i had seen that night

[@Actor949]

The two girls who are dressed like Fiona are in the show and they play the younger versions of Fiona, the youngest is supposed to be her at like 8 and the older of the girls is supposed to be her in her teens.

[@elphielover247]

@rawshaark They were. It probably would have been hard to hear with the wind and the screaming and the motors and floats and speakers would be hard to carry and hook up for instruments and mics, so they probably just had everyone lip sync.

[@broadwaygirl0307]

low ticket sales! i know is sad and surprisinjg! Shrek was awesome!

[@georgedalton6055]

i started watching this video for a split second and then jumped forward to 1:57 and i was just like... :| DONKEY THICCC

[@DarkTimeFall]

I was about to say Where's Donkey?

[@dottiedots221]

3:10-Look at Lord Farquete! He lipsyncs: "HI MOM!" :D

[@ValdezVideos]

it took forever to get the shrek sign down.

[@lcma6608]

I LOVE SUTTON FOSTER!!!!!

[@amysmith7411]

Braydon smith 😀😇😍🥰🥰

[@MMfan365]

idk why they sang it!! I saw it in june and they didnt sing it then either!

[@MillieDillmount]

Okay, they did Freak Flag for EVERY SINGLE performance. This is the song that everyone knows from Shrek. This was a great performance and I'm glad they did it. Great show too. Enough of this "WHY DIDN'T THEY DO FREAK FLAG" crap. It was a logical choice to pick. I'm just mad that my VCR messed up and didn't record this. LAME.

[@missfantasygirl12]

@56musical JEALOUS!

[@Jangobadass]

Why this show closed when it did is beyond me :-(

[@loveya718]

I dont underdstand why he just didn't finish out the 6 weeks the show has left...I mean come on!!

[@ChelseaH17]

@karlaabc123 It just stopped by my town last week. I saw it and LOVED it. Get ready for a great show!

[@passlion]

Deep voice needed.

[@loveya718]

did you leave early? they perform this as an encore (after bow's etc)

[@chelso92]

i thought it was dumb they sang this!!

[@NHall609]

@NHall609 nope, i was there and i met the cast and it was someone else :(

[@markbundles2]

@NHall609 It isn't? I swore it looked just like him.

[@loveya718]

I'm sorry but you are mistaken...name one example of what you are talking about. Sure original bway actors go on tour with their shows (Bob Martin did US Tour of Drowsy Chaperone, Ashley Brown is doing Mary Poppins Tour now) but the Broadway cast does not leave broadway to tour and return. I don't see Brian D"Arcy or Sutton ever touring again.

[@vegishishkabab]

Ben. but the make-up is very good. it's hard to tell.

[@Biowoman.]

i think they thought it wud b fun to sing a really active song that was in the movie so everyone cud c summat they hadn't done at the theater

[@NHall609]

@markbundles2 thats not christopher sieber

[@NoahPrice1023]

not brian d'arcy james its ben crawford not tartaglia its robb sapp

[@tuckerhawkey9561]

But Danny Breaker is playing Donkey in this right?

[@treblemaker24]

who is teen fiona in this?

[@KDay5161]

OH OK

[@KDay5161]

why were there 2 girls dressed like fiona playing guitar???

[@Melensko]

yea i thought the same thing =/

[@NHall609]

that is not chirstopher sieber!

[@xPsychoticxFreakx]

Shrek and Fiona's movements seem kind of jerky. Is it just the video quality or is it supposed to be like that?

[@loveya718]

Back where? Not to Broadway anytime in the near future!!! Shows have Bway casts and Touring casts simultaniously (Wicked, Jersey Boys, In the Heights etc.) Shrek is leaving Bway b/c it's not making enough money.

[@funkyflyswim]

ughh why is it going off broadway..suckx

[@IHopeYouAreHappy11]

is this brian or ben in the video...it's kinda hard to tell with the makeup...at least to an untrained eye..
