And now I see why Donna Vivino was made to play Elphaba

[@waymilky442]

Ahhh look at baby Donna Vivino! (well not baby but young)

[@leedscab123]

I will never, I repeat never tire of Colm singing Bring Him Home.

[@MeriPT]

Ever- I weep every time I hear it- he is my favorite Jean Valjean because of how he sings this song. That note at the end 😭♥️

[@sarikoppany6806]

Braden Danner is my favorite Gavroche :)

[@oblongreceptionist8486]

Love Colm to bits. I have had the pleasure of seeing him perform as Valjean on multiple occasions and he is still the DADDy 30 plus years later

[@galaxyoasis]

Donna Vivino!! Haha So cute!!

[@UnRubenDario]

Donna !!!!!

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

Dang that Val Jean rocks!!!!

[@mst3kanita]

I didn't know they did the broadway bits way back then!

[@Myearthfamily]

So glad to see this!

[@jordanserchuk7418]

I’m surprised they didn’t perform “One Day More.” But then, they did “One Day More” at the Tonys, so maybe they specifically wanted to do something different here. At such a family- and child-centric event as the Macy’s Parade, maybe it made sense to highlight Gavroche and Young Cosette instead.

Les Miserables does not take place during the French Revolution

[@thatperformer3879]

Shannon Quinn Exactly it enrages me when someone doesn't get that it's the June Rebellion, that's what happens when schools don't teach about international history

[@paralysisbyanalysis2287]

That's also what makes the events, occurring in Les Miserables, so ironic... a revolution after the first one didn't work.

[@oscarphile]

@@paralysisbyanalysis2287 and what makes the song Turning in particular so sad

[@joannclune6423]

My true love ❤️

elphaba

[@AmberLiusStrrawberry]

Young Donna is so adorable!!! Hard to imagine she was Elphaba in this video.

[@goldenphoenix4747]

He’s daddy Colm and don’t you forget it

[@thatperformer3879]

Did they not used to have the traditional green turf?

[@crescentfreshbret]

Braden Danner was on the first season of the new Mickey Mouse club, wasn't he?

[@loisjolson6471]

crescentfreshbret. - I THINK it was 3rd season. Some of the originals aged out and he joined along with Ryan Gosling, Christina Aguilera and Brittany Spears.

[@lilkalanadiangirl31]

That is correct! Braden was in the first season of the show, which aired 30 years ago on 4/24/89!
