The Theater Lover’s Guide to Gift Giving

Shopping for a theater fan? (Or maybe you just need an idea for what you want to ask for?) Whichever the case, we’re here to help with a carefully curated holiday gift guide that is sure to delight any theater fan.

1. Tickets to a show

The most obvious choice. No theater fan would ever turn down free tickets! (Just be sure to check their schedule before you purchase.) Check out the TodayTix Holiday Pre-sale for tickets for performances December 20 through January 1.

2. Carols for a Cure Holiday CD

Holiday tunes for a great cause! Every year, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids releases an entire album featuring new and classic Christmas songs sung by Broadway performers.

3. Special signed item or prop

Also for a great cause, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids often auctions off signed show props and memorabilia throughout the holiday season. If you’re looking for a special, one-of-a-kind gift, check out their eBay store.

4. TodayTix Gift Cards

For the theater lover who has seen everything, get them a TodayTix gift card so they can choose whatever they want to see next (or revisit an old favorite.)

5. A Memoir by a Broadway star

For that post-Christmas-but-before-New Years downtime, give a memoir by a Broadway star. It’s guaranteed to be a juicy and dramatic read. For inspiration, checkout this article with some suggestions!

6. A class at Broadway Dance Center

Give the give of a unique experience! You can gift a dance class to someone via Broadway Dance Center’s own gift cards, which are redeemable in person and online.

7. Dinner at Sardi’s Restaurant

Eat a delicious meal amongst your favorite Broadway stars! Well, their caricatures…(close enough.) Treat your special someone to dinner at this legendary Theater District spot, or give them a gift certificate!
