The Theater-Lover in Your Life Will Give These Gifts a Standing Ovation
Do you have a friend who can rap "Guns and Ships" perfectly from memory or constantly tags you in Les Mis memes? I'm that friend. Every year, my holiday wish list consists of two things: makeup (because I don't like paying for it myself) and tickets to a Broadway show of my choice (because I can't pay for it myself). I'm fortunate enough to live in New York City, so I see Broadway shows fairly frequently due to some insider tips for cheap tickets; however, for most of the world, a ticket to a show requires an accompanying flight. If your budget or schedule doesn't permit giving someone a trip to the Great White Way, these gifts put the spirit right in your hands. Read on for the absolute best gifts for the Broadway baby in your life.
