Broadway Thanksgiving Week Schedule 2015: What to See on Broadway

Below is the schedule for Broadway shows during Thanksgiving week.

The titles are linked to my reviews or other information, and a collection of photographs, about each show. (Those shows without links are in previews and have not yet opened — i.e. have not yet been reviewed.) The asterisks are next to the ten shows that are my personal favorites and particular recommendations. But tastes vary, as do budgets. Speaking of which, Off Broadway is open this week as well.

You’ll see there are five shows playing on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day itself: Chicago, Dames at Sea, Finding Neverland, On Your Feet, and The Phantom of the Opera. A whopping 28 Broadway shows have added a Friday matinee this week. (Update And 24 of the 28 are available at a discount, usually 50 percent off, at the TKTS booth.)

Crossed out dates means canceled performances this week.
Bold faced dates means added performances for this week
Italic dates means different than usual curtain time

The information, which comes from the Broadway League, is subject to change. Please check the show’s website or the theater box office where it’s playing.
