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.

    Little Shop of Horrors, from New York Comic Con
    Dec 2 2025
    Playbill went to New York Comic Con in October and hosted several panels on Broadway and beyond, including one on the record-breaking off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors. On the panel were composer and EGOT winner Alan Menken, Thomas Doherty (Seymour), Madeline Brewer (Audrey), and Major Attaway (Audrey II). They discussed what it's like to put on this wacky and wild show eight times a week, and how this "little" show in the 1980s helped spark the Disney Renaissance of the late 1980s and early 1990s, thanks to Menken's incredible collaborative efforts with his great friend and collaborator, Howard Ashman.

    What do you get when you combine more than 11,000 performances, 124 million attendees, and six Tony Awards? You have arguably the most successful and impactful Broadway show in its history. The Lion King debuted in 1997 and has since helped lift the art form and its patrons up, spreading the joy of its work across the world through its many productions. The show, helmed by multi-time Tony Award-winner Julie Taymor, has helped jumpstart countless careers and sparked general interest in live theatre, a theme in this episode.


    Host Alex Birsh brings on his father, Phil Birsh (Playbill's Chairman and CEO), to talk about the indelible mark the show has made on Broadway, and they reminisce about Phil bringing Alex to The Lion King when he was eight years old.


    Alex then brings on two cast members, Gavin Lee (Scar) and Lindiwe Dlamini (multiple roles), who discuss what it's like to bring this show to life every day, from the perspective of the newest cast member (Lee) and the one who has been with the production since the very beginning (Dlamini).Yes...since 1997!
