The Ultimate Gift Guide for the Musical Theater Fan
The ultimate gift guide for the musical theater fan is packed with awesome gifts for that Broadway junkie in your life.
I am going to try to break them up into categories the best that I can.
Theater
- A trip to see a Broadway show….On Broadway! Nothing would make a musical theater geek happier than to see an incredible show in the heart of it all, New York City! This may take a lot of planning but it is by far the best gift!
- Season tickets to your local theater. Most theater districts have some sort of season tickets which locks you in to about 5-7 shows at a discounted rate. There are so many reasons to love being a season ticket holder. As far as a gift, if is a financial commitment but it is truly something that would be loved.
- Tickets to a Musical. If you can’t swing season tickets, go with the next best thing and give the gift of tickets to any musical coming to you. I have gifted a musical theater night to my sisters a few times and it’salways been wonderful. First of all, gifts that create memories through experiences are my absolute fave. If you want a physical gift to go along with it, gift it with a poster, mask or soundtrack of the show.

Show Memorabilia
Nostalgia is one of the best gifts to give. I love having somewhere functional or fun to keep my show keepsakes. Here are some fantastic options:
- “>Ticket Momento Box
-
Subscription box
The gift that keeps on coming back! Whonwouldnt love monthly or so boxes curated with the musical lover in mind.
These sites are worth a look:
Music – Albums and soundtracks
There are many options in this category to choose from. Soundtracks and “Best of” albums are wonderful options. Sometimes we get caught up in specific shows but it is good to think about who the most famous Broadway stars are and then look to see if they have something out. I mean Bernadette Peters is amazing and anything that she touches I would love to own!
Books
There are so many interssting books regarding musicals and musical theater. Often times after watching a show, I am curios to learn more about the history or ideas that it was based off of. Or there is trivia, lists, cookbooks
Games
I love a good game night. Wouldn’t it be so much fun to have one themed toward musicals.
Clothing and Accessories
There are so many fun products out there to wear with specific shows or that are overall Broadway driven! If you know someone’s favorite show, I recommend snagging something specific to that show. But you van look for hoodies, shirts, scarfs, masks and socks.
Miscellaneous
As mentioned above, of you know the favorite show of the person you are shopping for, there are plenty of products that have sayings and lyrics or images related to that show. This is your best bet. Some much appreciated gifts are Framed Prints, jewelry, mugs and cups.
Wrap Up
I hope this Ultimate Gift guide for the Musical Theater Fan has been helpful. Those of us that love the theater appreciate any little gifts that support our addiction. I am certain you will be able to find some items that would work well.

Going to a show is a fantastic gift idea. It wasn’t Broadway, but I took my son to The Lion King for his 10th birthday. We had the best time and he still has the Scar plush we bought for a souvenir 16 years later.
