Playbill is officially launching a podcast! The Playbill Podcast: A Show On Broadway will let you make Playbill your theatre friend, sharing everything you need to know about the latest Broadway plays and musicals while introducing you to the stars that are making them.
You can subscribe to The Playbill Podcast wherever you get your podcasts, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
Hosted by Playbill Chief Operating Officer and Vice President Alex Birsh, the series will officially debut April 7 with an episode on Hadestown featuring current stars Merle Dandridge and Carlos Valdes. Subscribers can expect to hear episodes centered on SIX: The Musical with its Tony-winning creators Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss; Maybe Happy Ending with star and co-producer Darren Criss; Operation Mincemeat with two of its stars, Natasha Hodgson and Jak Malone; & Juliet with current stars Maya Boyd and Alison Luff; and lots more in the weeks ahead.
Listen to a special introduction for the new series below.
“The two most common questions anyone at Playbill gets from friends or family are: 'What's on Broadway? And what should I see?,'" says Birsh of the inspiration behind the new project. "The Playbill Podcast is here to help. Whether you’re a Broadway veteran or just starting to explore, we'll bring you the magic of Broadway, one show at a time.”
Along with Birsh and stars from each spotlighted show, episodes will feature conversations with Playbill's resident theatre experts, aka the staffers that spend all their days writing and working on theatre and most nights seeing shows. The Playbill Podcast will connect you with the savvy and fun theatre fans you've been looking for, whether it's to help you find your next ticket to buy or just giving you a place to geek out about your favorite show.
