Broadway Bound: A Theater-Inspired Candle That Captures the Magic of Live Performance

A Lifetime Love Affair with the Stage

From the time I was a young girl, the stage called to me. My mother and I would dress for the occasion—sometimes for Broadway, sometimes off-Broadway, sometimes the grand old theaters of Boston. We even crossed the Atlantic once to see Fame and Chicago in London. Each trip felt like stepping into another world. I still have the playbills, carefully kept as little time capsules of the nights we were transported somewhere else entirely.

The Sound of Theater: An Unforgettable Experience

It's the sound that stays with me—the swell of a live orchestra, the rustle of the audience as the house lights dim, the hush before the first note. In that moment, the world outside disappears. I remember sitting in the darkened theater as a young girl, dreaming of being on that stage.

Once, after A Chorus Line, a snowstorm swallowed the streets. We left the car in a snowbank and walked half a mile home, cheeks stung by the cold, hearts still warm from the music. I'd do it again and again.

My Most Memorable Broadway Shows

Over the years, I became a frequent flyer at Rent, swept away by its raw energy and unflinching truth. Hamilton's music lives forever in my head—a revolutionary heartbeat that I still find myself humming. I remember being moved to tears by Billy Crystal's 700 Sundays, laughing one moment and feeling the ache of life's brevity the next.

One of my absolute favorites will always be Movin' Out, because Billy Joel's songs feel like he's singing my life story. And then there was Motown the Musical, which I saw with my mom, aunt, and cousin—an explosion of joy, nostalgia, and the kind of music that stays in your bones.

The Scent of Opening Night: Damask Plum & Velvet Cashmere

For Broadway Bound, I wanted a luxury theater candle that evoked the drama and glamour of the stage—a fragrance that could fill the air with velvet. Damask plum brings a deep, jewel-toned sweetness, while velvet cashmere wraps it in warmth and luxury.

Together, they feel like slipping into a theater seat in a red-carpeted aisle, the air perfumed with the scent of flowers from opening night bouquets and the faint aroma of someone's silk scarf in the row ahead. This sophisticated candle scent captures the elegance and emotion of every curtain call.

Broadway Through the Decades: A Living Art Form

Broadway has always been a reflection of its time, a living, breathing art form.

The '70s gave us A Chorus Line, Chicago, and The Wiz.

The '80s swept in with Cats, Les Misérables, and The Phantom of the Opera.

The '90s brought Rent's raw edge, The Lion King's breathtaking staging, and Chicago's glittering revival.

More recently, Hamilton has remixed history itself, while shows like Hadestown, Dear Evan Hansen, and Wicked prove that Broadway still has the power to move us in new ways.

A Love Letter to the Magic of Live Theater

This Broadway-inspired candle is my love letter to that magic—to the thrill of the overture, the way a story can be sung into your bones, and the promise that the show will always go on. I will always keep going back for more, playbill in hand, ready to be transported all over again.

Broadway Bound brings that same enchantment home, transforming your space into your own private theater box where every moment feels like opening night.
