There’s nothing like the childish excitement of seeing a great Broadway show. Russ Miller has worked for 25 years in the engine room of Broadway and on the West End helping shows and theaters operate at maximum efficiency in senior management roles.

When he went in search of a theater-related present for a producer friend’s young child, he couldn’t find a gift that resonated. So he decided to create something himself. The result is “Broadway Baby”, an illustrated children’s book that plots the journey of a young dreamer from cradle to stage. So that’s one stocking filler present solved this holiday season!
