I like it, especially the colors.
Great job, as usual.

The Seabee standing in the water could stand to lose a few. And why is Nellie kicking that poor dog?
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Reminds me of the artwork for ONCE ON THIS ISLAND.
But other than that, neat-o!

Deena, are they blatant or undertones?
That's one of the things I like about it!

I love McMullen, but was hoping for a little more thoughtful creativity as with his designs for A New Brain and Parade.
I actually prefer the RNT design.

Aw, it's way pretty.
She isn't just kicking the dog, though, she's stepping right on it, completely maiming and crippling it permanently. Which, honestly, is good, because that's a direction that this particular musical has never been taken in.

Posted: 10/15/07 at 3:51pmIt is beatiful, but I'm with Mister Matt, and like the RNT much better.

I was expecting something a litle...moodier or more romantic. This certainly looks like a happy revival of SOUTH PACIFIC.
And I don't get the dog.

Posted: 10/15/07 at 4:06pmY'know, if it weren't for the shadow of the palm tree, I would swear that the RNT logo looks like it was underwater.

Posted: 10/15/07 at 4:11pmIt is great, but dates itself. But still a wonderful artist!

You can set you goals
And seize the day,

Posted: 10/15/07 at 4:14pmI don't like it. It's not one of his better designs. And the three sailors up top have no feat. The whole things looks rushed and unfinished.

It looks like a semi- unfinished watercolor that a Seabee might have painted while stationed in the South Pacific.
And I love that.
