Broadway holiday productions aren’t all centered on the Christmas holiday thanks in large part to Jackie Hoffman’s A Chanukah Charol. This much talked-about Broadway production makes a major twist to the classic Christmas tale and features the work of Jackie Hoffman in a play that is described as a pseudo-autobiographical one-woman show. Tickets for the event are not on sale and the production will run from December 8-29 at New World Stages in New York. Tickets are on sale now; do you have yours to this ‘must-see’ production?
