Christmas week casting

HI there,

I'm thinking about traveling to NYC during Christmas week and am hoping to see several shows, including Funny Girl, which is the one I'm most excited about -- super-excited to see Lea!

However, does anyone know whether there tend to be casting changes during the holidays? I'm slightly concerned about whether the stars want to (understandably) take time off during the holidays. Or is it common that they perform during this time?

I did read that Julie Benko performs on Thursdays, so we'll keep that in mind when we are booking our tickets.

But -- separately from that -- I've never visited Broadway during the holidays, so I have no idea whether to expect holiday-related changes.

Thanks so much for any insights.

They are expected to be there and when I've attended the theater on Summer holidays, the entire cast has always been in. It's quite noticeable if they just decide to take the day off.

No one would ever do that unless they are unprofessional and don't belong in a leading role to begin with.......

Yeah, Im referring to the actual holiday, not days around it. OP, it's a same bet everyone will be on. 

Thanks to everyone for your responses! They're really helpful!

Thanks especially to TaffyDavenport for those additional details. The 22nd is my birthday, so it would be perfect to see the show then. :)
