This article should be called "Playbill (magazine)". It doesn't explain what "a playbill" actually is, but it should (see de:Theaterzettel). --AndreasPraefcke (talk) 21:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

No, i don't think so in my opinion because there is no other thing called playbill and it is a famous magazine, but that's just my opinion.--BAITT (talk) 01:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
I've added a disambiguating hatnote, but I agree with AndreasPraefcke. The basic definition of playbill in the English language is an advertisement or program for a play. That should be Wikipedia's default definition, as the magazine is clearly named for this usage. — Dulcem (talk) 00:41, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
