The Playbill Podcast: A Show on Broadway

Playbill, Inc.

The two most common questions anyone at Playbill gets from friends or family are: "What's on Broadway? And what should I see?" The Playbill Podcast is here to help.

Each episode highlights a currently running Broadway show and features an interview with members of the cast and/or creative team. Hosted by Alex Birsh (Playbill's VP & COO), the podcast is co-hosted by an interchanging "theatre friend," someone at or connected to Playbill who is well-versed in Broadway within their own social circles, and often answers the question, "What Broadway show would I like?"

Whether you’re a Broadway veteran or just starting to explore, the Playbill Podcast brings you the magic of Broadway, one show at a time.

My Life in the Theatre - Jonathan Groff
Hi Playbill Podcast listeners! We make a lot of content here at Playbill: for the Playbill programs, our website, and our social media/YouTube pages. While we’re working on future podcast episodes to be released later this summer, we thought you’d enjoy an audio version of an episode from My Life in the Theatre, our video series where a theatre legend walks us through their career on the stage, one Playbill at a time. This episode is our most recent, featuring the star of Just In Time on Broadway, Jonathan Groff. We’ll set the scene: it’s Jonathan Groff at a table with a microphone and a big binder, filled with a lot of Playbills and a lot of memories. 01:41 - In My Life 05:21 - Spring Awakening 09:52 - Hair 13:55 - Prayer for My Enemy 16:07 - The Singing Forest 17:15 - The Bacchae 20:08 - The Submission 20:51 - Red 22:53 - The Pirates of Penzance 25:16 - A New Brain 28:09 - Hamilton 30:41 - Little Shop of Horrors 33:08 - Merrily We Roll Along 35:21 - Just In Time If you’d like to watch this episode on our YouTube page, visit this link: https://youtu.be/W5JIgY52ozA?si=9L6PA-8Rh8zCLAmT Hosted on Acast.
