I think SHOW PEOPLE is one of the most superficial magazines on the market. I let my subsciption lapse because I couldn't stand the stupid articles about going antique shopping with Michelle Lee, etc.
Too bad the really good theater magazines like IN THEATRE and SHOW MUSIC have died.

Posted: 4/10/06 at 9:27pmIf you're interested in mostly non-musical regional theatre, I highly recommend American Theatre magazine. If you're interested in musicals, I suggest the (expensive) English Magazine "Musical Stages". If you're into Sondheim, I highly recommend the Sondheim review. If you're into People magazine style coverage, you can subscribe to Show People.
"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"

There's the Sondheim Review that comes out quarterly. It contains interesting and well-written articles on Sondheim-related events, reviews of major regional productions (and the Broadway ones -- when the new Sweeney opened there were five articles), interviews with actors and directors associated with his shows, scholarly essays analyzing his music and trends in productions, and info about upcoming productions. It's not for everyone I guess, but for Sondheim fans it makes for terrific reading.

Posted: 4/10/06 at 10:12pmAny truth to the rumor that "Show People" will expire within the next few months?

Posted: 4/10/06 at 11:16pmI personally am a fan of BACK STAGE if you have the money.

Posted: 4/11/06 at 1:24amAnd if you really have the money or can get an industry discount - VARIETY is still the best magazine for all things entertainment related.

Does Theatermania.com still have a magazine? I remember it being free, but I don't remember the last time i saw it.
Any help on locating would be great!

You can always go to random theaters and pick up copies of Playbills they have laying around instead of getting a subscription. Some box offices give out copies.
P.S. The box office lady at Avenue Q was REALLY nice...she didn't have a Playbill but she kindly explained to me what the show was about.
