Playbill went to New York Comic Con in October and hosted several panels on Broadway and beyond, and we're making those episodes available to our listeners! Listen to the Playbill Podcast episode with the cast and creative team of Hamilton here and Little Shop of Horrors here.
The latest episode of the Playbill Podcast features the highly anticipated new musical The Lost Boys, based on the cult-classic film. On the panel were producer and stage-screen star Patrick Wilson, two-time Tony-winning director Michael Arden, and members of the cast: Ali Louis Bourzgui, LJ Benet, and Maria Wirries. Hosted by Emmy-nominee and Broadway veteran Zachary Quinto, the panel touched on how the idea for the musical came to be and what fans should be excited about as the show gears up for its run on Broadway, with previews beginning March 27 at the Palace Theatre.
“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 podcast. "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 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 connects listeners 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 give you a place to geek out about your favorite show.
