There are lineages of feminine power in American culture that refuse to dim, that burn through generations with the steadiness of a lighthouse and the sparkle of a chandelier. The Rockettes belong to that rare, mythic lineage. For one hundred years, these women have embodied a form of power that the world too often misunderstands: a power rooted in discipline so exacting it becomes poetry, in unity so seamless it becomes architecture, in glamour so precise it becomes a weapon.
A star-studded mix of pop icons, Broadway casts, K-pop phenoms and holiday-classic favorites is marching straight into Thanksgiving morning. Consider your coffee stirred by a drumline: the 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade rolls out Thursday, November 27 at 8:30am and the talent list is stacked like a float full of stuffed animals. Big pop names, Broadway casts, a YouTube hot-sauce interrogator, Olympic-level skaters and the Rockettes will all clock in before you've carved the first crescent of pie.
