The Lion King's performance will mark the long-running production's 25th anniversary, a milestone the Disney musical is set to reach November 13.
Those wishing to see the festivities live can catch the parade route stretching from 77th Street and Central Park West to Columbus Circle, where it turns onto Central Park South before continuing down Sixth Avenue. The route makes a final turn at 34th Street to end in front of Macy's Herald Square on Seventh Avenue, where the Broadway performances will be. Public viewing will be set up at designated areas of the parade route, with those wishing to join encouraged to avoid bringing large bags, umbrellas, backpacks, and strollers.
Lupita Nyong'o, Katrina Lenk, Jelani Alladin, and more were on hand to celebrate the October 31 opening night of Michael R. Jackson and Anna K. Jacobs' new musical.
