Question: High school Grad loves Sondheim, any gift ideas!?
Hi, My sister-in-law just graduated high school!. She is very smart, and is going to a great school next year!. We want to get her something extra special for graduation!. She loves Broadway, especially anything Sondheim!. We were looking for tickets to a show for her, but we don't live somewhere that has any quality productions!. also, she has a large collection of soundtracks, and sheet music, so that isn't really going to work!. Any other gift ideas!? Something creative, fun and/or useful would be best!. Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are taping of the shows Into the Woods,Company,Sweeney Todd,Sunday in the Park with George,Passion,and Sweeney Todd in concert (all Sondheim shows)!. A Broadway book I love is Broadway Musicals: The 101 Greatest Shows of All Time which has detailed and fun information on classic and new shows!. also, the new cd from the off Broadway show Forbidden Broadway could be an option!. They parody show,songs,and people currently on Broadway(which is why they revise the show every year) and me and all of my friends love it becuase of the funny yet true lyrics! I gave the above 2 items as graduation gifts for my friend!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There's a box set of six Sondheim shows on DVD - Sweeney Todd in Concert, Follies in Concert, Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park With George, Passion and the Carnegie Hall concert - it's a fantastic set, I own it and I love it!. also, the recently released DVD of the revival production of Company is brilliant, as is the DVD of "Putting It Together"!. Any or all of those would be a great gift!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I bet no one gives her a gift like this
