Broadway legends Betty Blanche & Crystal Rogers Sr., there is no Jr., rise from their graves once a year (usually in November but they can’t tell time, they’re old ghosts) on 42nd & 9th to put on the ultimate musical Thanksgiving special! Featuring all of the classic Thanksgiving songs you definitely know and love such as: “Thanksgiving is a Girl’s Night,” “Uncle Gary’s Somehow in Town?”, and “Have Yourself a Juicy Little Turkey,” this musical romp is the best way to celebrate everyone’s favorite most popular unproblematic holiday! There will be singing, dancing, drinking, special guests (also ghosts from the 50’s), and of course turkey! It’s the 1953 Thanksgiving Special presented by Ranch Dressing™!
