BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

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, presented by The Shops at Columbus Circle.

The Shops at Columbus Circle’s Broadway Under The Stars-Inspired Gifts: 

Step into the spotlight with three show-inspired gifts that celebrate the magic, glamour, and energy of Broadway.

M·A·C “Ruby Woo” Retro Matte Lipstick, inspired by Moulin Rouge! The Musical 

The iconic blue-based red lipstick from M·A·C Cosmetics — bold, timeless and show-stopping. It channels the dramatic glamour and cabaret star energy of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, perfect for a night on the stage or under the spotlight.

Swarovski “Constella Necklace – Mixed Cuts, White Crystals, Rhodium-Plated”, inspired by SIX The Musical 

Radiate your inner queen with this luminous Swarovski necklace from the Constella collection. A constellation-inspired arrangement of mixed-cut clear crystals is set against rhodium-plated metal, offering both modern elegance and regal sparkle. Matching the bold energy of SIX The Musical, this piece is perfect for the woman rewriting her own story, daring to sparkle front and center.

Jo Malone London “Wood Sage & Sea Salt” Cologne, inspired by Mamma Mia!

A fresh, breezy fragrance that evokes the Aegean coast and carefree summer days – sea salt, sage and woody mineral tones. Ideal for MAMMA MIA!’s sun-soaked, joyful island atmosphere.

Theatre Reads:

2025 has been a big year for new releases from some of your favorite Broadway personalities, including Josh Gad (In Gad We Trust), Jeffrey Seller (Theater Kid: A Broadway Memoir), Gregory Maguire (Elphie), Debbie Gibson (Eternally Electric: The Message in My Music), David Pollack-Pelzner (Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist), Julie Andrews (The Great American Mousical (A Broadway Tale)), Alicia Keys (Hell’s Kitchen: Behind the Dream), and more. 

Plus- take home Cynthia Erivo‘s new book, Simply More. It is never too late to build the life you’re seeking. Erivo learned the music to Wicked a decade before she needed it, not knowing those same lyrics would change her life. Now she has performed those songs on the world stage, showing us there is always time to keep discovering ourselves. And to illustrate that it’s often the parts of ourselves we are told to bury that make us shine. In a series of powerful, personal vignettes, Cynthia reflects on the ways she has grown as an actor and human and the practices she’s learned over years of performing and reminds us all we are capable of so much more than we think.
