Is it harder to find discounts to Broadway plays in Dec?

<p>MTMama, how lucky that you got to spend the holidays in NYC. It's a great time to visit. Just to clarify, in case others are planning, while there is a revised show schedule during the holidays (including this week for Thanksgiving), there are not matinees everyday. Because Christmas was on a Sunday last year, a day when most shows have a matinee, the result was that a matinee was added prior to the weekend, on the Friday. Many shows have regular Wed. mats but some which don't, added a Wed. mat. that week to make up for the revised weekend schedule and, of course, the Sat. mat remained as usual. There were seven performances that week for some shows, rather than the usual eight, but a few were able to squeeze in eight. During the week after Christmas, a few shows had four matinees. The scheduling may be different this year because Christmas is on a Monday, a night when many shows are dark, thus not requiring as much of a change.</p>
