Even if that is a place holder, it's not something that is going to stir up any commotion or interest, which is the intent, I'd assume?

It certainly needs more added; as a title font it's ok, but it's not a poster design

Is this spose to resemble LuPone GYPSY?

No Raul "in" or "starring"?

The website, I have too optimistically assume, has got to be an interim placeholder. But they'd probably be better off just to take it down and hurry up with a real website, now that tickets are on sale. What's up there now barely looks official.

The artwork they released today is a little dull, but perhaps once there are promotional images and it gets closer, there will be further incarnations? I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that this is final, since, yeah, it could use some jazzing up.

Is this a community theatre show? A community theatre show on Broadway?

I still have to vote Jesus Christ Superstar for worst graphic design so far this season. It doesn't match the tone of this production at all. The logo used in the Stratford commercial was far more appropriate.

If I recall the LA version correctly, the initial poster included a figure in a mirrored jacket, and once they had "real" production shots, they substituted Raul in the mirrored jacket. Let's hope (and pray?) that this is just something preliminary. The show deserves better than this.

(And I didn't like the COMPANY art work either.)

Yes... the titling for the JCS revival is awful, however, I kinda fancy the leather background. But the logo... is bad 90s Kai Power Tools Photoshop filter.

Of course, between this new logo and the LA logo... it is a slight improvement. The LA one is a friggin eyesore. I have a feeling this is Serino Coyne.

It could be aka which has given us some of the worst artwork on Broadway - House of Blue Leaves anyone????????

JCS is pretty bad, in no small part because it makes it look like Jesus Christ Super Star. The English major in me shudders. But it also looks cheap.

As cheap as LoF, to bring it all back.

From the photoshoot video. Looks like this could well be the official logo.

It is very bad (the artwork and the website). Looking forward to the play though!

Okay, that logo makes more sense.

That jacket is just my favorite thing.

Geez, but how long does it take to update a website?! I went over to the official site and it makes me yearn for the black and white logo we were all complaining about.

Check it out - much improved, including a count-down clock!

Kind of reminds me of Sister Act

[Scarywarhol]

Posted: 2/13/12 at 8:57pm

It looks a LOT like Sister Act's non-specific, blandly sparkly ad campaign.

Posted: 2/13/12 at 9:38pm

I also thought Sister Act when I first saw it. Is it the same ad agency that does both shows?

Between the stars in the background and prominently featuring "the jacket," it seems to me like they're paying homage to the poster for the original film.

The composition of that image, and Steve Martin's face, make it sort of compelling. The tagline is evocative and tells us what the movie is about in a few simple words. It's a pretty decent movie poster. Nothing spectacular or iconic, but it clearly says what it is. The Broadway artwork uses the same basic imagery, but it tells us nothing. It tells us, "Here is another mildly sparkly Broadway show that you have no reason to see over something that your Aunt told you about. Why not see if Lion King or Wicked has a few tickets available?"

So, you are completely ignoring the paragraph under the "sparkly image"? The fact that they have not decided on a tag line yet? That rehearsals are only just starting?

On the other hand, if you are not intrigued by Raul Esparza in leather pants and a mirrored jacket, maybe you should go see LION KING. This is not your mother's gospel choir.

I like it. They just posted pictures of the marquee. It looks pretty good. I'm intrigued.
