THE VISIT presale has begun. You can get 2,500 bonus points. I just purchased Orchestra A101 for the first preview. So excited.
And the artwork can be seen here: http://m.audiencerewards.com/offersview.cfm?venueid=102&showid=2975
MUCH better. Looks beautiful.

Posted: 1/26/15 at 10:31amI do like the logo itself, but I hope the poster is something more than a photo of Chita standing there.

Plus, the NY Times has a story about the shoot. http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/01/26/behind-the-poster-the-visit/
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Posted: 1/26/15 at 3:12pmIt's perfect! That's the eeriness I was hoping for.

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 1/26/15 at 3:51pmThe way her dress is makes it almost look like she is a ghost. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

Posted: 1/26/15 at 3:51pmNot even a ghost- an angel of death.

Posted: 1/26/15 at 3:58pmMuch better! Glad the darkness and yellow from the show were added to it. But just like the show itself, it's nothing more than Chita Rivera just standing there.

Posted: 1/26/15 at 4:42pmReally like it, I think it captures the idea of the show without giving away much.

Can not wait to see this.

I like the logo, and the artwork itself is beautiful, but the poster as whole doesn't tell me anything about the show. If I were a tourist from middle America who had to decide between seeing WICKED, CHICAGO or something new like THE VISIT... nothing in this poster would make me choose the Visit unless I were a huge Chita fan, but that didn't do much for THE MYSERY OF EDWIN DROOD revival a few years back.
The poster doesn't even really advertise the fact that it's a KANDER & EBB musical, it just lists their names at the bottom as if no one famous wrote the music.
I miss the blood drop logo from past incarnations, and I think they should add the mysterious men in white masks from the publicity photos behind her... to give people a sense that this musical is mysterious and possibly deadly and also a good ole KANDER & EBB production.
Just my thoughts... I can't seem to get a job in Broadway PR so maybe I should just keep my mouth shut, lol.

But the eeriness of the artwork could entice people to find out more about the show. I think it's perfect.
Before the image was released, my imagination created an image of Chita's silhouette in a smokey train station, and that's pretty similar to what we have! The eerie train station IS the set for this production, so I am thrilled to see that it's the setting for the artwork.

Posted: 1/26/15 at 8:25pmI hate that. The actual title looks like it's a fun comedy romp. And the poster itself is just kind of dull. It doesn't really entice me, and I'm someone who wants to see this show.Yellow is just not a very scary color...
#21THE VISIT presale and new artwork
Posted: 1/26/15 at 8:31pmtotally agree with RippedMan. The Yellow makes me think its a comedy. Although chita and everything around her looks great. I can't wait!
