The holidays are a perfect time to see a show. Broadway performs every day of the week at multiple curtain times to accommodate every schedule, including holidays. During Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks, some shows are changing their performance schedules.

"It's a joy to see a Broadway show during the festive winter holidays," says Charlotte St. Martin, President of The Broadway League. "Alternate curtain times - including special matinees and evening performances - provide a variety of opportunities to better accommodate the changing schedules of theatregoers throughout Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks."

During Thanksgiving week, some shows will play on Thanksgiving Day, and many will play Friday matinees. TWELVE shows will be playing on Christmas! During Christmas week, alternate curtain times will also include Friday matinees and evening performances. Check Broadway.org to see the holiday performance schedules and easily find out where and when shows are playing.
