We track releases of theatre recordings, the day tickets go on sale for major new shows, theatre folks appearances on TV talk shows, films with significant theatre links, etc. Through our sister website, Theatre Central, we maintain easily indexed links to well over 1000 theatre related websites. And through the Playbill On-Line Club, can get all manner of discounts and special ticket offers. We sometimes offer tickets to hits on sale to members before they go on sale to the public. Special blocks of tickets were set aside for the 1997 Tony Awards, and for the Les Miserables 10th anniversary performance, for instance, and offered only to Playbill On-Line Club members.
Users can download clips of songs from new cast albums.
Interactively, we schedule discussions seven evenings a week, allowing fans of a particular show or star or writer to meet at a specific time each week. We also schedule moderated live chats with guests like Tommy Tune, Betty Buckley, Stephen Schwartz, et al. In our Message Board area, we enable members to write and read their own reviews of shows. There is no charge to join the Club. You give us your name and email box, and that's it.
