From stars on the red carpet to curtain calls, flash bulbs pop all around New York City’s stages. But here, at Playbill, we pride ourselves on capturing candid moments with your favorite stars, up-close details of Tony-nominated costumes and props, and the quiet beauty in the chaotic theatre district.
Whether snapping a legend like Hal Prince, a young disruptor like Darren Criss, or a mainstream celebrity visiting backstage, Playbill captures every crevice of theatre, but makes it fashion.
