ATTENTION FANS: I will be played by James Barbour in the upcoming musical, "BroadwayWorld: The Musical."
I agree that it needs a visual component of some kind that offers a better sense of the story, but otherwise I like it for the same Looney Tunes-esque reason offered above. Given that they're basically telling us nothing of substance, it still gives some feeling of being a fun show.
As near as I can tell, it's two fonts + the title treatment. Looking at "Anything Goes" and "Porgy & Bess" -- period musicals with star billing (and shorter titles!) -- they seem to do the same, though the fonts are absolutely less florid so maybe less distracting. If they can come up with some sort of iconic image/graphic -- and they really should -- then I think it will matter less.
