Broadway Tarot is based on the structure of the classic Rider-Waite system, featuring the 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. Each card has been thoughtfully paired with an iconic Broadway musical, beautifully illustrated by Melbourne-based artist Ella Witchell. Featuring much-loved classics like Singin in the Rain, Les Misrables, Funny Girl and Chicago, to newer crowd favourites like Wicked, Hamilton, Kinky Boots and Six, the cards are accompanied by a guidebook to introduce each musical and explain the relationship to their relevant tarot card.
And hey: if your future, as ordained by these cards, isnt looking so bright, just remember that there is nothing in life that you cant sing your way out of. Now shuffle the deck and break a leg!
