Broadway Gift Ideas- A 2024 Holiday Guide!

The holidays are just around the corner! For those who are in need of last-minute gift ideas for your theater-loving friends and family members (or even if you just want to treat yourself), BroadwayWorld is here to help with a Broadway-themed holiday gift guide!

Theatre Reads:

2024 has been a big year for new releases from some of your favorite Broadway perosnalities, including Kelly Bishop (The Third Gilmore Girl), Eric Idle (The Spamalot Diaries), Alfie Boe (Face the Music), Jennifer Ashley Tepper (Women Writing Musicals), Diana Rigg (One Tough Dame), and more. 

Plus- take home the new release, It Happened At The Palace, penned by Mr. Broadway, Stewart F. Lane. It Hapened At the Palace is your all-access pass to the epic saga of one of the most famous theaters in the world.

From its opulent vaudeville roots to its star-studded Broadway nights, the Palace Theatre has been a beacon of entertainment for more than 100 years, surviving the ebb and flow of time and taste. The iconic theater has survived wars, the economic fall and rebirth of Times Square, a pandemic, and now a multimillion-dollar renovation to raise it 30 feet above Broadway. Lane, with his unparalleled expertise in theatrical productions, guides you through the grandeur and the grit of the theater’s past, the ambitious renovation to restore its former glory, and its enduring legacy in the heart of New York City. 

More than a historical account, this is a love letter to the performing arts, a chronicle of New York’s cultural evolution, and a business saga of revival and triumph. With an insider’s perspective, Lane reveals untold stories, intimate portraits of stage legends, and the intricate process of preserving a landmark not only of bricks and mortar but of dreams and memories.
