Although I played sports growing up, I had a number of friends in the musical theater program. And I was always a big fan of seeing their shows (and going to shows on Broadway, too!). So I’ve compiled a list of Broadway gifts for the beloved musical theater geeks in your life. While you may not be buying them tickets to a show, what’s better than a copy of the “Oh, Mary!” stageplay, a “Mamma Mia” crew neck or a high-end Elphaba-inspired candle?
Peruse some of my top picks for Broadway-themed gifts. And if you have a few too many glasses of wine at your Christmas gathering and end up putting on a show, I’ll be cheering you on from right here.
Top Broadway Gifts For Musical Theater Geeks
- Day to Day: Don’t throw away their shot! Help your giftee keep track of the date with a 2026 “Hamilton”-themed calendar. The Tony award-winning show is sure to get them ready to seize the day. Regardless, history has its eyes on you! — $18
- All That Jazz: With the latest “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” addition to the “Chicago” cast, the Broadway geek in your life is likely craving a re-listen of the original cast’s soundtrack. So why not get it on vinyl? That way, they can listen to the OGs again and again — $27

- Defying Gravity: With the recent release of “Wicked: For Good,” relevant merch isn’t hard to find right now. For example, luxe candle company Voluspa is capitalizing with some seriously enchanting candles. Get Perfectly Pink Yuzu for the Glinda in your life, and Bewitching Banyan Forest for Elphaba. Either way, they’ll be changed for good — both $48
