Idina Menzel performs at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Evil icon Idina Menzel will perform at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, USA.

After the release of Wicked: Part Oneit’s safe to say that a case of pink-and-green fever has hit the world. Greenwich in London has been renamed GreenWitch. Charli XCX led one Saturday Night Live sketch about stars auditioning for the film. Fans of the musical take the lyrics to “Defying Gravity” and “really hang with it” (iykyk).

So it is only natural that Broadway superstar Menzel, who originated the role of Elphaba in The Wizard of Oz stage musical, would be used for Macy’s annual Thanksgiving Day Parade.

However, the Tony Award winner will be promoting a new musical. Menzel will perform the song “Great Escape” from Redwood on a new float, “Wonderous World of Wildlife,” from the Bronx Zoo. It will be the first time the 125-year-old organization has collaborated with the parade.

In a statement, Menzel said of her upcoming performance: “As a native New Yorker, this is such a joy to perform in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and to partner with the Bronx Zoo, whose connection to the city and mission to protect nature is very near and dear to me.

“Conservation is at the heart of my new musical and an important message to the viewers. I can’t wait to connect with my fans on the streets of Manhattan and soon again on Broadway.”

Menzel makes his long-awaited Broadway return in January with the original musical from writer-director Tina Landau, which includes songs by Landau and composer Kate Diaz.

Menzel will star as Jesse, who “seems to have it all — a successful career and devoted family — until a life-changing event drives her far from everyone and everything she knows,” reads the musical logline.

“When she finds herself in the foothills of the redwoods in Northern California, a chance meeting and a leap of faith will change her life forever. Redwood explores the lengths—and heights—one travels to find strength, resilience, and healing. “

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will take place on November 28th in Manhattan, New York City and will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm. Previews for Redwood begins January 24 at the Nederlander Theatre, New York City.
