Country music star and Broadway veteran Reba McEntire and the casts of West Side Story, Ragtime, and Dreamgirls will perform on CBS’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Broadcast on Thursday, November 26.

Ghost Whisperer star Jamie Kennedy will report live from the streets of Manhattan, while Maggie Rodriguez and Dave Price from CBS’ The Early Show will anchor the program from a site along the parade route in Times Square.

As previously announced, for the first time in its history, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will not march down Broadway. The route will begin at 77th Street and Central Park West, travel down to Columbus Circle where it will turn onto Central Park South. Once the Parade reaches 7th Avenue it will turn once more and march down 7th Avenue through Times Square to 42nd Street. It will then turn east to 6th Avenue and begin its final march down the Avenue of the Americas to 34th Street where it will turn towards Macy’s and end at 7th Avenue marking a 2.65-mile march.
