Does anyone have a broadway themed room in their house?

Posted: 5/3/06 at 4:55pm

I was wondering if anyone has decorated a room in their house with a musical theatre or broadway theme. If so please share pics. I am turning my basement into a broadway themed room and I love suggestions.

If you don't have any pics maybe you can just tell me some of things you have done with it.

I don't have any pics but I can tell you that I got a hold of some old records of older shows and framed them in those album frames. They look pretty cool...I have like two or three rows of them and then I have some modern show posters framed too.

My room has a broadway wall.

I've painted the logos of some of my favorite shows and shows I've been in on one half.

The other half is decorated with the programs/playbills from every show I've seen (and a few that were given to me). Also up are the little flyers for shows that you can get.

In my room at my mother's, it's totally theatre-fied. I have various posters, pictures from shows I went to, and albums framed. I also have books -- Wicked, Rent, The Grimmerie -- randomly placed throughout the room. I might be getting a poster of Times Square or NYC for my father's as well.

I have a Gypsy themed-glass frame containing 2 gypsy gloves, 2 garders, a signed program, a ticket from each performance I attended and a concession stand foam cut-out. Its my prized possession!

I also have three bookshelves with broadway memorablia that I have collected through out the years from flea markets and shows. (t-shirts, programs, binders with playbills, opening night gifts ect..)

I also have what I like to call my diva framed photos. Its a lengthly thin frame with five slots for pictures. Each picture contains myself and someone who I consider to be a broadway diva(Rachel York, Bernadette, Donna Murphy, Marin mazzie and Patti LuPone)

My bedroom is Broadway themed. I have a bulliten board of the latest news clipings (My favorite is a big picture of Josh Strickland looking super handsome. My mom wrote "He Tarzan Me Jane" on it.) I have a RENT poster at the head of my bed, two collages at he foot of my bed, two other collages on the walls, and picures of me and acots in frames. Then I have a book shelf with my Wizard of Oz figurines from when I was little, a collectors edition of the Wizard of Oz, The Grimmerie, Wicked, Son of a Witch, the RENT book, my leather and gold bound complete works of William Shakespeare, and my Phantom of the Opera Mask.

I get teased a lot.

I have my mini one in my closet. It has all my Bway stuff in a small collage. My dad wont allow holes in the walls or tape. Cause my old room had tape & stuff all over it from the Bway stuff.

My entire bedroom, wall to wall, is filled with autographed posters. I don't know how to post pictures on this site...otherwise, I would.

Each year I make my pilgrimage to NYC to see a bunch of shows. (I'm from Ohio) I've been doing this since 2000, and when I got back from the first year my mom had all my playbill and tickets framed together in a big frame with the inset of "New York 2000" - I've gotten exact same thing done every year since and they now adorn my hallway going up the stairs in my house! It's pretty cool, but I'm going to run out of room soon!

Wow Yankee! That's awesome. I too have playbills all over my tiny room. And I collect those Playbill frames, but I only have about 5 right now, so my other playbills are just leaning up against old piggy banks and picture frames so they can be on display. I also have a bulletin board that has tons of Broadway icons and quotes on it, right next to my door. Love it.

Edit: for spelling bulletin wrong :)

Wow my room seems puny compared to yours. My favorite posters are my Woman in White and Jekyll and Hyde ones.

I have framed pictures of posters of my favorite shows on one wall, pictures of me with some of my favorite people, a panoramic of NYC. In one frame, I have the two playbills I got signed when I went and saw the show.

Ah, my room makes me happy.
