On your party invitation, ask that guests show up dressed as one of their favorite Broadway musical fictional characters. Tell them to keep their identity a secret, and have guests try to determine who everyone is dressed up as. Whoever gets the most identities correct wins tickets to a Broadway (or off-Broadway) musical.Label your dishes and cocktails after theatrical roles in different Broadway musicals. It really pulls the theme into all elements of the party. Serve savory Latin dishes named the Maria’ and a green Appletini called the Elphie.’
Go all out by creating a stage for your Broadway theme party goodies and drinks. Though this looks most authentic set up on a semicircle drop-leaf table (with one leaf up and one leaf down, creating the shape of a stage), any table can be used. Line the edge of the table with tealight candles along the rounded outer edge to create stage lights, and display food in groupings around the stage’ you’ve created on the table.Take your table to a whole other level by making curtains: lightweight red fabric affixed to a wooden dowel and hung over the stage for authentic looking Broadway curtains.
