It's what Scott Rudin seems to do now with all of his playbills. The Crucible was the same thing. They have these arbitrary pics from rehearsals or the show themselves without much context.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
It makes it feel like they forgot about the Playbills and then had to scramble to get something up last minute. There are a lot of talented photographers but for many campaigns I'm often left thinking that the photo they chose can't be the best photo that was taken. If it was, they should have tried a little harder.
Definitely a rehearsal room image. However, The Front Page, The Crucible and Blackbird changed their Playbills after opening night. I'm assuming the same will happen here.
Though the Humans did stay consistent throughout the whole run. I am kind of digging Glass Menagerie one though. Rudin seems to like more candid photos on playbills, like the second Blackbird one was an incredibly powerful image.
It's kindof interesting that in today's internet age the Playbill cover has come to be its own form of promotion. That's why I love when it isn't just the poster art with a yellow header, especially love the Rudin trend towards production photos.
Amelie is cute. Though perhaps the red is a little aggressive and doesn't reflect how colorful (that is, the variety of colors) the show is. It would also be nice to have more contrast between the raspberries and the background. I also wonder if it means they're changing her wig. I hope so. Her expression is perfect though.
I love the Anastasia one. I'm glad they're sticking with that artwork.
I know it's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and not Willy Wonka but I'm a little surprised they didn't feature any of the cast or at least some imagery to represent the show a little more. They're really banking on name recognition of the property.
The stark look of Groundhog Day will be good when people start getting those Playbills signed but it doesn't do much to sell the show.
Miss Saigon is the same art but it looks fantastic.
I get the concept of The Play That Goes Wrong but... meh.
I can't tell what Sweat is about from that Playbill.
I'm hoping to add Amelie, Anastasia, and Miss Saigon to my collection. And to see those shows, of course!
