It’s Loosey Goosey time…at least when it comes to finding when your favorite Broadway shows are actually running. With the holiday season upon us, each show goes its own way with whether to have performances on Thanksgiving (like Godspell and Private Lives) or skip New Year’s Day and let their casts nurse hangovers (like The Book of Mormon or Lysistrata Jones).
