Stagebill vs. Playbill
#0Stagebill vs. Playbill
Posted: 2/17/05 at 12:22amI was over at my friend's house and saw that she had a Stagebill of "Cabaret" and I asked her where she had seen it and she said Broadway. I also saw "Cabaret" on Broadway, but it was your usual Playbill program. Is there any reason why shows decide to change their program type?!

Posted: 2/17/05 at 12:24amThe older ones for Cabaret were "Stagebills." I think it's just a difference in who prints them.

Posted: 2/17/05 at 12:33pmIf I remember correctly "Stagebill" was a completely different company and the publishers of "Playbill" bought them out. (I'm ashamed that I don't remember it a little more clearly because it wasn't all that long ago.)
A click for life.

Posted: 2/17/05 at 12:38pmYeah, I saw 42nd Street a few years ago, and I think I had a Showbill. I think that's what it said, definitely didn't say Playbill though. I was always king of curious about that.

Posted: 2/17/05 at 2:37pmTHE LION KING and the Metropolitan Opera both used Stagebill, but Mamie is right that Playbill bought them out.
