Make The Best Broadway Themed Party NYC Has Ever Seen

By Leanne Goff


Have an aspiring actor or theater enthusiast with a birthday coming up? Why not throw them the sort of Broadway themed party NYC is famed for? There are options for all budgets and the opportunities are endless. Whether it is a do it yourself shindig or a classy affair at a venue in the area, the idea is great and the execution is simple.

Broadway has been around for over a hundred years and has influenced theater and drama in a way that no other geographical place has. The number of plays and actors that have graced the stages there is staggering. From its humble beginnings in the post-Civil War era to the modern day hustle and bustle of big name productions, it has been the acme of stage production and acting. For anyone with an interest in stagecraft, a themed party using its influences can be entertaining and fun.

Another option could be having a piece of art commissioned that would commemorate the occasion. A framed poster that illustrates the guests and venue would go quite a ways and definitely inspire some gratitude. Many artists reside in the New York metro area and a great number of them are available for commissioned work. A unique gift is quite often the best gift and something that was created expressly for that occasion would definitely be a head turner.

Costuming is fairly easy to come across. Any thrift shop carries lots of second-hand, affordable clothing that can be used. Often, over the top and gaudy clothing that otherwise would never be worn can be used to accentuate certain aspects of the character.

Asking yourself questions, such as is it a professor in WWII, is vital. Why not try a tweed jacket, some spectacles and a bowtie. Found in a second-hand store, it could cost as little as ten dollars. Feel like going as a girl from the chorus line? Some cheap panty hose, costume jewelry and a used gown can be altered to make a unique and glamorous costume. Let your imagination run wild.

Use software that is available on any computer to add some text. With some clever alliteration, the simple bottle of wine becomes a thoughtful and elegant gift that will surely be the life of the event. Imagination is the key here.

Another thing to examine would be the benefits of dance lessons. Choreographing a small number to a show tune wouldn't be all that difficult. Entertaining the other guests can be fun and invigorating. If the idea of performing alone is too much to handle, gather a group of friends and see if they might be willing to join. Group activities can be much easier to take.

Nobody likes to show up to an event empty handed. Going to the Broadway themed party NYC residents might get invited to, means that you can either use your imagination and craftiness or your wallet to bring a gift that is not only unique and stunning but also gracious and generous. Giving someone something that has meaning and is tasteful is as important as attending the shindig itself. Giving the right gift shows that you are gracious and thoughtful. Be gracious and thoughtful.
