When your shower audience consists of extroverts and lovers of arts, a Broadway Baby theme is just the ticket. The shower will work as well for couples as it will for a singles mix or girlfriends.

Remember when compiling the guest list to include “actors,” and “audience members”; after all, someone has to watch, admire, and applaud the performers! Stage mothers (and fathers) are also a great addition to the party cast.

The theme would also work for families with children — especially if you focused the theme on children’s plays or musicals.

The versatility of this theme is part of its wide appeal — you can focus on musicals from the 1950s or ’60s or limit it to current Broadway productions. You can pay homage to Tony Award–winning shows or attend a local theater production. The theme can be adapted to any age group or musical taste.
