It is awful!

They layout is horrendious. Huge pictures, but also so many large gaps of white. 

Don't get me started on their Facebook posts. You have no idea how many times I see something on a Saturday afternoon that is a repost of something from early in the week that they are treating as a new item and I question my sanity as I try to figure out why I feel like I already know this information

I have been visiting Playbill.com daily pretty much since the site was launched in the 1990s. It has gone through changes over the years, but I agree that this is the worst version I have yet seen. It makes it look like a place for tourists to explore shows rather than a news site for people in the industry. I greatly dislike it, but it will change again I am sure (hopefully soon).

It's so bad, I hardly visit the site these days. Playbill used to be my daily go-to site for theater news since the dawn of the 21st century, but now, so many other sites are better. Playbill used to be much easier to navigate and at one time was my regular source for discounts. Discounts on the site have become few and far between (probably not entirely Playbill's fault), but even the link to find any discounts is more difficult to locate. The entire site looks like something that might have launched 28 years ago.

It is definitely not good, but people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones: this site still takes the cut glass flyswatter.
