We’ve updated this blog with the best Broadway gifts on the market in 2018. Enjoy!
Special Saturday Post Y’all!
And it’s for all you folks that are reading this on your mobile device at the Mall.
(Who am I kidding – you’re all shopping online, aren’t you? I’ve actually made it a goal of mine to not step foot in one actual store this holiday season!)
We’ve done these Broadway Gift Guides every year, but here’s what I’ve discovered from your feedback.
In addition to helping people find gifts for their theatrical-loving loved ones, these lists have been more helpful for theater lovers who need a suggestion list to send to their friends and family!
Cuz let’s face it, if you love Broadway and want to figure out how to get your show or yourself TO Broadway, then you’re tricky to buy for.
So if you’re a Producer, Writer, Actor or just a theater lover, here’s some stuff for your wish list, or if you know someone like this, here are some unique, hard-to-find gifts that will make you the best Santa around.
We’ve always got to start with “Amazon’s Choice” Broadway gift, our best-selling, and the ONLY, Broadway board game on the market, Be A Broadway Star, the board game that puts YOU in the spotlight!
This isn’t your typical board game. This is a Broadway board game! And that means you’ll have lots of chances to show off your stuff along the way, with interactive “make or break” cards that just might have you singing and dancing on your turn!
Get your limited edition copy today! Get it here and play during the holidays! (For adults, email me for the drinking game version . . . it’s hilarious.)
Here’s something we originally made as a gift for our Investors, and now we’ve made a version available to you. What does every true Broadway fan have A TON of? Programs! Here’s a place for you to store ’em and show them off to all your friends. Buy it here.
