Just because there aren't any specific holiday offerings on Broadway this year doesn't mean the city lacks for seasonal cheer. All around town, traditional, brand-new and, OK, just plain weird events are happening, or about to happen before year's end.
"Cirkopolis" Although not literally about the holidays, this circus-arts showcase by Montreal's Cirque Eloize runs Dec. 18-29 at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, 566 LaGuardia Place. Visit nyuskirball.org.
And don't count Broadway out. Just because there aren't any Christmas shows opening that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of family-friendly offerings. "Annie" still has tomorrows until early January, while "Cinderella" and "Matilda" are still here from last year. And there are always and forever the long-runs -- "The Lion King," "Wicked," "Newsies." Curtain times may be different this time of year, so check broadway.org for holiday schedules.
