Let's be honest: Gift shopping is hard. Does dad really need another tie? Are you really going to believe mom when she says she doesn't want anything? And fingers crossed your sister doesn't return that sweater again this year. So why not buy something everyone on your list is certain to love? There are so many shows on Broadway, from blockbuster hits to inventive revivals to sprawling epics, everyone will be certain to have a good time. And bonus: You'll be able to share a memorable experience for a lifetime rather than shoving another pair of socks into that already-full drawer. Check out some of our favorite shows to gift this holiday season!

On Thursday, December 12 leading NYC arts education nonprofit Inside Broadway (Executive Director, Michael Presser) and Broadway's 'DELICIOUSLY DARK and HILARIOUS new musical' (Entertainment Weekly) Beetlejuice will present special Creating the Magic programs offering an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at Broadway's 'JAW-DROPPING FUNHOUSE!' (The New York Times), featuring select members of the Beetlejuice cast and production crew.

Charlie and the Chocolate factory” is big, extravagant and highly entertaining. The two leads, Peter Andreas Hjellnes (Charlie) and Fridtjof Sensæth Josefsen (Willy Wonka), carry the show splendidly on their shoulders. As a musical it has flaws, but the production 'almost' manages to conceal this through solid stage design, beautiful comstumes, solid direction and fun choreography.

Theatrical licensor Music Theatre International (MTI) has secured worldwide licensing rights to smash-hit musical Beetlejuice from Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures, the live stage division of Warner Bros. The musical is based on the Geffen Company cult classic film presented by Warner Bros. It was nominated for eight Tonys this year and has been hailed by Variety as a?oeScreamingly Good Fun!a??

Roald Dahl wrote books for the children of his time and it is a wonder that many of his creations have remained as popular and well-loved as they have decades after his death. Although James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The Witches, and The Twits can all trace thematic influence back to Dahl's involvement in World War II, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory seems to be the most heavily-informed by an unquestioning devotion to western industrialization and hope for the germinating seeds of our present-day capitalism. The 1971 movie, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is indicative of its time not only in its psychedelic colors and film effects but in its Vietnam-Conflict-era praise of Americanized consumerism. While Tim Burton's 2005 film adaptation reclaimed the title of the 1964 book and attempted to be a more faithful translation, its darkness and sterile settings have not garnered the cultural embrace of its predecessor, mainly because (I believe) of the public's common, shifting relationship with and disdain for industrialization and capitalism.

A spectacle like no other awaits millions, as the 93rd Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade®, the nation's most cherished holiday tradition, kicks off the holiday season. On Thursday, November 28 at 9 a.m., the time honored phrase Let's Have a ParadeTM will ring from the starting line as the march of fantasy takes to the streets of New York City. With more than 8,000 volunteers dressed as clowns, guiding the flight of larger-than-life character balloons, transporting spectators to new worlds on signature floats, bringing the beat in the nation's best marching bands and entertaining the crowds as part of dazzling performance groups, the annual march is jam-packed with entertainment. With more than 3.5 million spectators in New York City and more than 50 million television viewers nationwide, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is America's premiere holiday celebration.
