Don't know whether I imagined this but I thought I'd read Tony was doing the score for an Off Broadway show. Couldn't find anything online and his website hasn't been updated in a while.

You might be thinking about David Yazbek? He's behind The Band's Visit at the Atlantic this fall.

It was a typo in the article. He tweeted Playbill to ask them to fix it.

They still haven't fixed it, either.

Lord, this is embarrassing. It's not like David Yazbek is some unknown.

I'm shocked this wasn't a mistake made by BWW. I can only imagine how David Y. feels about this? As Kad said, he's not some unknown shlock... C'mon.

It's been fixed. Many, MANY hours later.

Playbill's lack of proofreading and fact checking rivals BWW these days honestly- remember when they announced Shanice the singer was playing Dorothy in The Wiz? Glad it was fixed, but both David and Tony are owed an apology.

Playbill's nosedive in quality has really been startling. It used to be my primary theatre news source and now I rarely ever even visit it.
Posted: 8/22/16 at 1:11pm
Things like this lead me to think how the art of journalism has taken a real nosedive since the advent of the internet.
Posted: 8/22/16 at 1:12pm
Agreed, Kad.
Theater_Nerd, please don't lump all of journalism in with Playbill.
Posted: 8/22/16 at 1:16pm
Oh I'm not lumping ALL of journalism in with Playbill. Playbill is but one site that commits glaring errors to print.
