    44 Gifts Your Friend Who Loves Musical Theater Will Probably Love

    Gifts so good they practically deserve a Tony.

    Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are especially tricky this year and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!

    Black frame with white matting and a space for a rectangle Playbill and rectangle ticket below

    31. The Broadway Musical Quiz Book, which is filled with almost 80 quizzes that may stump even the most die-hard fan. But if musicals have taught us anything, we're up for the challenge, right?
