This month, Playbill Magazine's subscription edition is treating readers to a look at a 1972 interview with the original Broadway cast of Stephen Sondheim's Company, including the article's original layout and images. Take a look below:
Playbill's monthly mailed subscription edition allows theatre lovers, including those who don’t get to see a Broadway or Off-Broadway show on a regular basis, the opportunity to read the features that run as part of the in-theatre edition of the magazine. In 2022, this edition boasts a number of new and exclusive features not found in the magazine at theatres, including:
A feature from Playbill’s archive: January’s edition will include this reprint of Patricia Boswell’s group interview with cast members from the original Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim’s Company, including Elaine Stritch and Larry Kert.
A monthly puzzle, such as a crossword or word search on a theatrical theme (January’s is all about Stephen Sondheim’s shows and characters).
At This Theatre: The popular feature
appears only in the Broadway edition of Playbill when space allows.
Beginning in January 2022 with the Sondheim Theatre and over the next 41 months, the subscription
edition will survey each of the 41 Broadway theatres. Each monthly feature will include contemporary photos
of the theatre as well as production photos of key shows that played at the
venue.
In addition to these new features, the monthly subscription edition also includes Broadway and tour listings.
