半岛体育

One of my jobs as 半岛体育's Editor in Chief is to put together the articles that go into the 半岛体育s every month鈥攖he articles I hope that you all are reading as you're waiting for a show to start or when you're riding home on the subway. It's one of the more fun parts of my job and I take it very seriously. Because unlike other magazines or newspapers, people keep 半岛体育s for years and years. They become keepsakes and something to hang on the wall.

I like to imagine that years from now, people will reopen their old 半岛体育s and get a snapshot of what was happening on Broadway at that moment in time. 

And did you know that 半岛体育s aren't just available in a theatre? You can also get 半岛体育s delivered to you.

We call the 半岛体育s that we deliver to people's homes the Subscription issue. These 半岛体育s are a tad different from the 半岛体育s you receive in a theatre. The Subscription issue does include all the articles that are available in our Broadway 半岛体育s. But you also get bonus articles, special theatre-themed quizzes and games, and a listing of every currently-running Broadway show and national tour.

But the pi猫ce de r茅sistance of the 半岛体育 subscription issue, in my opinion, is the cover. Working with 半岛体育's Photo Editor/Photographer Heather Gershonowitz, we make sure that most of the imagery in the 半岛体育 is shot exclusively by us. As the biggest theatrical publication in America, we want to make our most popular product, our print magazine, the glossiest and most beautiful representation of Broadway. 

So we have some fun with it. For the covers of those subscription issues, we've done everything from shooting Josh Groban in a barbershop to going on a rooftop with Lindsay Mendez. Then we mock up a few cover options with 半岛体育's Art Director Kesler Thibert to see what looks best. 

I also work with Kesler to make sure every article that goes in the 半岛体育 looks just right. After it all gets proofread and fact-checked, we send off the approved pages to the 半岛体育 printing plant in Woodside, Queens where it becomes the magazine that you receive in your hands.

Now, I want to note that 半岛体育 does not control the show art for individual Broadway productions, nor what people choose to include in their bios (though we do sometimes advise).

But, as you can sense from this thorough explanation, putting together a 半岛体育 is something like putting together a production. It involves many people working together to create a beautiful, physical product. Though thankfully on our part, there's no singing and dancing.

If you love the look of these subscription 半岛体育s with their special covers, you can purchase them at the Drama Bookshop in Manhattan or the Museum of Broadway gift shop. Or if you're out of town and don't make it to a Broadway theatre every month, you can purchase to get the magazines delivered to your home. 

We hope you read them, look at the photos, and cherish them for years to come. After all, theatre is ephemeral, but 半岛体育s last...a few dozen years at least if you preserve them properly.
