Robert Viagas is managing editor and creator of Playbill
On-Line
, the world's largest online theatre information service.

Playbill On-Line distributes news, listings, features, master trivia, columns, photos, and a wide range of interactive services internationally on America On-Line, Prodigy, CompuServe, Apple eWorld and the Internet's World Wide Web.

Viagas came to Playbill On-Line from Prodigy Services Company, then America's largest on-line information service, where he was an arts editor 1989-94. During that time, he served as theatre critic of the New Haven Register, making him the first to review the many productions that
premiered in that legendary theatre town.
He is co-author of two books: On the Line: The Creation of "A Chorus Line" (Morrow 1990) and The Amazing Story of "The Fantasticks" (Citadel 1991), released in paperback as The Fantasticks: How It All Began (Citadel 1995). The "Chorus Line" book was the subject of an episode of the Donahue daytime talk show, on which the original cast reunited. The book was translated into Japanese and published in Japan in 1995. The "Fantasticks" book was a featured choice on the Fireside Theatre book club, and a chapter was excerpted in Playbill.

Viagas's stories have appeared in USA Today, Newsday, The Times of London, Show Music magazine, Journey magazine, and on the Los Angeles Times/Washington Post wire service. He now has a monthly column in Playbill.

Viagas also has written program notes for productions at the New York City Opera, The Kennedy Center and The Steppenwolf Theatre Company. He has taught journalism at Fairfield University and lectured on Gilbert & Sullivan at Lincoln Center.

Before Prodigy, Viagas was arts editor and theatre critic for the Stamford (Conn.) Advocate and for Fairfield County Fairpress.. He was a founding member of the Connecticut Critics Circle. He also was a frequent guest critic on Connecticut radio and TV.

Viagas currently is enrolled in the librettist training program of the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop in New York City.
