Cyber Monday deals are not just for gadgetry. They extend to shows, as offered by theaters and ticket services. This week in New York Theater: Broadway stars give Thanksgiving greetings, Broadway on Parade (watch Lea Salonga sing “The Human Heart” from Once on This Island and the new Evan Hansen Noah Galvin sing “You Will Be Found”); the theater community takes a stand against harassment, Pretty Woman gets a date, and how smelling helps you act and singing show tunes helps you stay sane.
