<p>MTMama, I just wanted to clarify that all shows do not have matinees everyday that week, I didn't want people getting that impression and depending on the opportunity! As I said, the schedule is revised to deal with giving the cast and crew time off to spend with their families but the actual number of shows does not increase. Union rules do not allow for that. They very occasionally have some shows do 9 performances but then they have to reduce the number the following week. Most shows do the usual 8 shows a week that is always the norm. Although, there were a few shows which had performances on Christmas, they were evening shows not matinees. Those were Chita Rivera, Jersey Boys, Phantom and Sweet Charity. A few others, maybe 4 or 5, including Piazza and Odd Couple had New Years performances at 3. Here's the schedule for this year's holiday weeks for anyone who may be in the city: </p>
