They should give a Tony for best positive reaction to receiving an illustration that looks nothing like you (nor is it a caricature).
I like a good rhyme more than a good time

Tony Yazbeck just got his caricature - is it wishful thinking on my part, or is this one actually not too bad? (Sorry, I can't seem to insert a picture, so I'll give the link.)

They are just bad now. What happened to the over exaggerated features? They need to hire a new guy

One of my favorite posts from Tumblr, in reaction to the Pippin cast's caricatures was "Sardi's couldn't send an intern around the corner to staples to buy a brown crayon?"
In walking around the restaurant, it's obvious that the old caricatures are fabulous. Truly works of art. Especially the very old ones from the 30s and 40s.

Was just talking to my friend about how mediocre the portraits are becoming! 
Seriously????

Annaleigh Ashford poses with a brown eyed Brittany Snow "caricature"?
This one isn't actually horrible. At least it's not Sutton's. What did they do, look at a picture of Lucy Liu and say "close enough"?
They/them.

WHY ON EARTH would they do Kelli's as if she was caught in a wind tunnel??? Ashford's pose is strange to0.

"Tony Yazbeck just got his caricature - is it wishful thinking on my part, or is this one actually not too bad? (Sorry, I can't seem to insert a picture, so I'll give the link.)"
It is better but still bad. The proportions are off and his eyes are positioned weirdly. I see Max von Essen + Brian d'Arcy James.
I think Kelli's might be based on her headshot. I feel like I've seen that pose before. It's truly awful though if he drew it based on a still photo and it's still that inaccurate.
Now most of these performers are gorgeous. I wouldn't even call them "character" actors in a slightly disparaging way. But instead of playing up what makes them unique, these caricatures flatten them out into generic looking vaguely attractive people. Honestly, walk a few blocks out from Sardi's and the caricaturists in Times Square could probably do a better job.

Kelli's looks like a fans drawing of Olivia Newton John in Xanadu. Oy.

Yep it's undoubtedly based on this shot:

Maybe it's a game. Annaleigh got Sienna Miller's, and Sienna got.... um... ??

I've been told the food there isn't what it used to be, either.

I think Christian's looks pretty good actually. Thoughts?

These are supposed to be caricatures! All I see is fanart.
They could have really had fun with Borle too

They are supposed to be caricatures & not real paintings. This is the idea behind it.

no you're right, but considering they have been trying to get them to look accurate, and have been making them unrecognizable recently, i don't think this is that bad

At this point the pictures aren't caricatures or even just nice portraits. It's amateur fan art. They need to hire someone who does caricatures at theme parks or on downtown strips. Those are true to the style.

That looks more like Jason Danieley (and not really much like him either). Why so serious? And why in God's name is he blond?
I've seen some realistic portrait-style fan art and it's a lot better than this.
