"Music Man" opened in mid-December. Of course that was eons ago.
"Its Only a Play" previewed for decades. ( well for a long time)

. . . is a long one. Why Broadway has lately abandoned these dates, I don't know. Drama critics certainly do not need a month's vacation in the middle of the theater season.

Well, that may be, or there may be many similar reasons alleged that have something or other to do with the holiday season, but all I can say is that none of those holiday-related reasons ever hurt The Music Man, Amadeus, Dreamgirls, or the many other Broadway hits that opened in the second half of December.
