I think it definitely reflects the new "style" of Broadway that's beginning to take over.


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Nice poster. But it surprises me that, for a design that's obviously supposed to be a little more "hip", they used a silhouette so...what's the word...nimble? Light-footed? Dainty?

I love the poster, it looks so fun. Does anyone else think it looks like the Tulsa dance move in "All I Need Is a Girl" in GYPSY?

The part at the end with Louise when he crosses the stage? So sad that I know the dance well...haha

I guess I'm in the minority, but I'm not crazy about the poster. I don't think the colors go that well together, and I also find it ironic that they have chosen such a throwback silhouette in a year where the likely Best Musical nominees are A Catered Affair, In the Heights, Passing Strange, and Xanadu (+/- Glory Days). That image doesn't represent any of those shows at all.

It's very nice, but couldn't they have come up with a new slogan?
