Each episode highlights a currently running Broadway show and features an interview with members of the cast and/or creative team. Hosted by Alex Birsh (Playbill's VP & COO), the podcast is co-hosted by an interchanging "theatre friend," someone at or connected to Playbill who is well-versed in Broadway within their own social circles, and often answers the question, "What Broadway show would I like?"
Whether you’re a Broadway veteran or just starting to explore, the Playbill Podcast brings you the magic of Broadway, one show at a time.

In this episode, we talk to Idina Menzel, one of Broadway's brightest stars, about her musical Redwood. Co-created by Menzel and writer/director Tina Landau, Redwood the Musical is about finding inner peace within the beautiful Redwood Forest. Menzel talks about what it's meant to her to bring Redwood to the Nederlander Theatre, as well as how surreal it is to be back in that specific theatre, in her old dressing room, from her days in RENT. Before the interview with Idina, host Alex Birsh brings on Ethan Treiman, Playbill's videographer and editor, who discusses why Redwood resonated with him.
