Gifts for the Musical Theater Person Who Knows Every Word and Is Not Even Slightly Embarrassed About It

Musical theater people have a specific relationship with certain songs that other music doesn't quite replicate — the way a particular number from a particular show lives in them, connected to the first time they heard it and every time since. They know the cast recordings and have opinions about which production, which year, which cast. They have probably cried during something that was technically a comedy, which is not a contradiction if you understand the thing. They have standing ovation instincts that activate without warning. The gifts that fit them are the ones that go into the love: tickets to something live, the original cast recording they don't have yet, or something that says I know which shows matter to you and I paid attention to that.
