News Songs From Caroline, Or Change on "Radio Playbill" May 3-16 May 3-16, "Radio Playbill" takes you inside the rehearsal hall of the new Broadway musical Caroline, or Change to talk with the show’s creative team.

Jeanine Tesori of Thoroughly Modern Millie and Violet wrote the music, Pulitzer winner Tony Kushner wrote the book and lyrics, multiple Tony-winner George C.Wolfe directed, and the stars are Tony winners too: Tonya Pinkins and Chuck Cooper.

They're all lined up to come on the air and perform some of the songs – the only time you can hear them outside the theatre until the cast album is released this summer.

Hosted by Robert Viagas, "Radio Playbill," a news and entertainment magazine show of theatrical interviews, features and music, is broadcast multiple times each week on Sirius Satellite Radio's Our Time, Stream 131.

A new 30-minute show debuts each Monday, with rebroadcasts throughout the following two weeks. Here is the schedule (all times are Eastern): New show Monday May 3 at 5 PM, Wednesday May 5 at 11 PM, May 7 at 5 AM, Saturday May 8 at 5 PM, and Sunday May 9 at 9 AM. Rebroadcasts continue following the ensuing week’s shows: Monday May 10 at 5:30 PM, Wednesday May 12 at 11:30 PM, Friday May 14 at 5:30 AM, Saturday May 15 at 5:30 PM, and Sunday, May 16 at 9:30 AM.
