Five Star Gift Ideas

When it comes to finding the perfect Christmas gift for your Broadway-loving grandma, there are several options that can bring joy and remind her of her favorite shows. Consider these meaningful and personal gift ideas tailored specifically to her Broadway interest:

1. Broadway show tickets: Research upcoming Broadway shows in her area and surprise her with the tickets. Whether it's a classic like "The Phantom of the Opera" or a newer production like "Hamilton," she'll appreciate the opportunity to see a live performance and be reminded of her love for Broadway.

2. Broadway cast recording albums: Collect a selection of cast recording albums from some of her favorite musicals. These albums capture the magic of the performances and allow her to relive the shows at home. Consider albums like "Les Misérables," "Wicked," or "The Sound of Music." She can enjoy the timeless melodies and sing along to her heart's content.

3. Broadway-themed puzzles or board games: If your grandma enjoys puzzles or board games, consider a Broadway-themed option. There are puzzles featuring iconic Broadway show posters or scenes from popular musicals. Likewise, Broadway-themed board games like "The Broadway Game" can provide entertainment and a chance for her to test her knowledge of her favorite shows.

4. Broadway-themed jewelry: A piece of jewelry inspired by her favorite Broadway show can be a thoughtful and personal gift. Look for necklaces or bracelets that incorporate charms or pendants representing her favorite musicals. For example, a pendant in the shape of the "Phantom's mask" or a charm bracelet with symbols from various shows can be unique and meaningful.

5. Autobiographies or biographies of Broadway legends: If she enjoys reading, consider gifting her autobiographies or biographies of Broadway legends or iconic performers. Books like "My Broadway: The Evolution of American Theater" by Mike Nichols, "Patti LuPone: A Memoir" by Patti LuPone, or "The Secret Life of the American Musical: How Broadway Shows Are Built" by Jack Viertel can provide fascinating insights into the world of Broadway and its history.

6. Broadway-themed home decor: Look for home decor items that reflect her love for Broadway. For example, a framed poster of her favorite musical, a set of Broadway-themed coasters, or a throw pillow featuring iconic Broadway show logos can add a touch of Broadway magic to her living space.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is thoughtfulness and personalization. Consider your grandma's favorite Broadway shows, her preferences, and what she would truly appreciate. By choosing a gift that directly relates to her love for Broadway, you can show her how much you understand and care about her passions.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
