I'm dreaming of a white christmas, with every christmas card I write

Since it is the season for giving here are some ideas for you if you are buying for a Broadway Lover: (key $-25 and under, $$-25-50, $$$ 50-100)

1) PlayBills $-$$: Find out what that person's favorite show is and get them the playbill for it. Or get them a Playbill binder for them to keep them safe. Where to buy? Playbill.com

2) Tickets to a Show $$-$$$: There are lots of great show in town right now. I would suggest for LA crowds to get tickets to Mary Poppins at the Ahmanson Theatre (now to Feb 2010), Dream Girls at the Ahmanson Theatre (Feb 2010- April 2010), Kelli O'Hara at the OCPAC (Jan 2010) or Paulo Szot OCPAC (April 2010).

4) PLAYBILL BROADWAY YEARBOOK 2008 - 2009 Season: 5th Annual Edition: $This book is a must for any Broadway fanatic. It features a chapter for each of the shows that ran on Broadway between June 2008 - May 2009.

6) Broadway Musicals Show by Show: Sixth Edition (Paperback) $: the volume includes basic facts about more than 300 important shows, a brief synopsis of each, credits, and gossipy facts. This book looks great I have stopped to check it out at the book store and I was great a must buy.

7) Get them show Mechanise:$-$$ A T-shirt, hat, key chain from their favorite show. Where to buy? go to that productions website, most of them have their own on-line store, amazon, and playbill.com also have great deals. Here are few popular shows:
