This Thanksgiving, We’re Grateful for Broadway’s Special Thanksgiving Week Schedule

You don’t have to talk to your family if you’re all sitting and watching a show.

Staying home this Thanksgiving? Going to spend the holiday with your family? Want to escape any potential August: Osage County dinners where your least favorite relatives hurl family secrets and plates of fish at you? Then the best way to avoid any kind of emotional trauma is to go to the theater and watch the emotional traumas of others play out onstage.

If you get to have a quiet, calm dinner with a few friends, you can head out afterward and catch a performance of Beautiful — The Carole King Musical. If murder crosses your mind when your family starts going on about politics, set your scope on Chicago. If you want to forget the nasty comments your mother made about your love life, settle in for a performance of The Phantom of the Opera, because your romances cannot be as bad as the Phantom’s. (That guy just can’t catch a break.) If you just want to experience a little post-turkey magic, let Pippin dazzle the trauma away.

Whatever your jam, Broadway has a show, and a special holiday schedule with added performances, which you’re sure to be thankful for during this (very) long week.

The cast of Broadway's August: Osage County might have better spent their dinner time at the theater.
