Broadway's Thanksgiving Schedule

Broadway's Thanksgiving Schedule

It's "Turkey Lurkey" time. But by the time you read this, I'll be on the ground in London for my traditional English Thanksgiving.

No, the British don't actually observe our uniquely American holiday. But it tends to be my own personal tradition as I travel to London most years to enjoy a nice four day weekend. And this just happens to be one of them.

But since you might be itching to see a Broadway show this holiday weekend, here's the full schedule of what's playing when. Note that the only shows performing on this Thanksgiving Day are A Life In The Theatre, A Little Night Music, American Idiot, Chicago, Elf, In The Heights, Promises Promises (bet they'll be singing "Turkey Lurkey Time" with bawdy abandon!), The Phantom Of The Opera, The Scottsboro Boys and West Side Story.

Also note that the following Broadway shows will be featured as part of Macy's 84th Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade: American Idiot, Memphis, Million Dollar Quartet and Elf. Each certainly captures varying aspects of the American experience to be sure, but thanks to Macy's sponsorship of Elf, it's a given that it would be featured in the parade. As a bonus to Broadway fans, the beautiful and brilliant Betty Buckley will also participate in this year's parade, which will be broadcast on NBC beginning at 9 a.m. EST today.

No matter where you are this Thanksgiving, and regardless of your nationality, please accept my deepest appreciation for making Steve On Broadway (SOB) one of your regular theatre stops. I can't thank you enough for your candid feedback and comments. I'm especially grateful to so many of you for your friendship.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is Steve On Broadway (SOB).

and what seemed like an endless parade of Anonymouses (is the plural Anonymi??) for using Steve On Broadway (SOB) as a people's forum on the strike.

You have my ongoing admiration and respect.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, next time I take in a Broadway show -- and yes, there will be a next time -- as a member of the audience, I'll be applauding for those of you we never see behind the curtain every bit as much as for the cast and production itself.

You've taught me a lot about an aspect of the theatre I had never really known too much about. I've certainly been wowed by your wizardry, but now I have a newfound appreciation of what it is you do to make live theatre so magical.

Thank you for that! And I invite you to keep coming back.

This is Steve On Broadway (SOB)
