Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves attending Broadway shows, I have a few ideas that will bring the magic of the theater into his life even when he's not sitting in the audience.

1. Broadway Show Tickets: The most obvious gift is to surprise him with tickets to a Broadway show of his choice. This will not only make for a memorable experience, but it will also give him something to look forward to in the coming months.

2. Broadway Musical Soundtrack Collection: Consider putting together a collection of his favorite Broadway musical soundtracks. You can either buy physical CDs or create a personalized playlist with digital downloads. This way, he can enjoy the beautiful music from his favorite shows anytime he wants.

3. Broadway Show Merchandise: Many Broadway shows have their own merchandise, ranging from t-shirts, posters, and mugs to more unique items like show-specific props or memorabilia. Browse online or visit the official Broadway store to find merchandise related to his favorite shows. This will allow him to showcase his love for Broadway at home.

4. Broadway-themed Books: Expand your son's knowledge and understanding of Broadway with some inspiring books about the history, behind-the-scenes stories, and iconic shows of Broadway. Some popular choices include "The Secret Life of the American Musical" by Jack Viertel and "Razzle Dazzle: The Battle for Broadway" by Michael Riedel.

5. Broadway-inspired Clothing: Help him express his love for Broadway through his wardrobe by gifting him clothing items inspired by iconic shows. Look for shirts featuring logos or designs related to his favorite musicals or characters. You can explore online stores dedicated to Broadway-themed apparel for a wide variety of options.

6. Theater-related Workshop or Class: Consider enrolling your son in a theater-related workshop or class, such as acting, singing, dancing, or even backstage production. It will allow him to expand his knowledge and skills related to the theater arts while providing an opportunity to engage with other theater enthusiasts.

7. Broadway-themed Puzzle or Board Game: If your son enjoys puzzles or board games, look for options with a Broadway twist. There are various Broadway-themed puzzles available that feature iconic Broadway posters or scenes from popular shows. Additionally, some board games, like "Be A Broadway Star," allow players to experience the excitement of the theater world.

Remember, the most meaningful gift for your son will be something that aligns with his specific interests and passions. By choosing a gift that reflects his love for Broadway shows, you're showing him that you truly understand and support his hobbies.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
