Favorite Show Merchandise
Does the actor in your life listen to the same Broadway soundtrack over and over again? If you know there is a musical that they absolutely obsess over, then grab them some merchandise or apparel featuring the show they can’t live without. Find them a t-shirt, sweatshirt and more here.
Headshots
Headshots are expensive! Print off some headshots for the star in your life and you are sure to receive a huge hug. Reproductions in NYC is one of the finest quality printing resources for any New York actor.
Music Streaming Subscription
Most music streaming services only offer customization and offline streaming with a paid subscription. Sign your artist up for Spotify, Apple Music, or Pandora and give them the gift of uninterrupted showtunes.
Happy Holidays!
