The clothing is what really kills me. They couldn't just use silhouettes? Or have each person wearing a signature costume from different landmark productions?
It is just so... pedestrian.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Posted: 4/26/10 at 10:53amI don't hate it, but it does seem lazy. What made the designers think THAT was a relevant idea? The costumes are random...I just don't get it.

Posted: 4/26/10 at 7:21pmIt's not even a good concept. Why would black and white be a good idea on an award show poster that is intended to CATCH attention? You hang that up and no one will respond to it.

I am agog by the sheer ugliness of this poster.
It not only doesn't make me make me want to watch the broadcast, it actually makes me not want to watch it.
But when you think about it, I suppose it does capture the spirit of this mundane and boring season.

Posted: 4/26/10 at 8:28pmDoes anyone else agree the text on the bottom of the poster is slightly redeeming? I think it looks cool, but the actual title - "Tony Awards"...No.

Posted: 4/26/10 at 8:31pmReminds me of that nightclub scene in CONNIE & CARLA when everyone suddenly stands up, arms outstretched, singing "Don't Cry For Me Argentina."

Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes

Posted: 4/26/10 at 8:49pmThat poster might have been appropriate for the Tony Awards broadcast in 1976. Not so much for 2010.

BOSS AT AMERICAN THEATRE WING: So Jim, we're releasing the new Tonys logo in about an hour for the press, can you email me the finished .jpeg real quick?
JIM: Yeah, no problem.
Inner monologue: Crap, I got nothing. What the hell am I gonna do?
Slowly but surely, Jim crosses to his computer and types "theatre" into his Microsoft Office Clip Art Search. He smiles.
JIM: Bingo.

Posted: 4/26/10 at 10:31pmPERHAPS their angle is that during the broadcast, this image as it appears during the ceremony will suddenly receive "light" and the actors on the image are revealed in full color -- showing the contrast from the plain black & white to full-blast stage lights. This is the ONLY way I can see this concept being of any worth. Still, even if that's the case -- THIS IS NOT AN EYE-CATCHING POSTER! It will get lost with all the other low-budget event posters going on in New York where they get any schmuck to use Microsoft Word and clipart.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
