Posted: 10/8/14 at 9:05pmNow that is the way to do a poster.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

So sweet, low key, and appropriate. The little shock of yellow and the deconstructionist Eiffel Tower are perfect. And the free and easy font for the title is fresh and nostalgic at the same time.
We may actually have a positive review from After Eight... if there's no dry humping during the nightclub scenes.

This is the poster for the Broadway engagement, not (as the article states) for the Chatelet run in Paris.
The Paris artwork is here http://chatelet-theatre.com/en/event/an-american-in-paris

Posted: 10/8/14 at 11:10pmUtterly charming! It makes me want to see this show!

Posted: 10/8/14 at 11:15pmThe Chatelet artwork looks like the logo for something like the Olympics. It's so modern and commercial. French Diet Coke?

The french reminds me of the original NO STRINGS artwork.
And it is oddly sleekly modern for the material.

Posted: 10/9/14 at 12:54amCan someone please explain to me the logic behind testing out a show for an American audience, in PARIS?!? I know we live in a global economy, but Paris doesn't doesn't have the greatest reputation when it comes to musicals. There have been a few shows that tested in Germany, but the German people are known to love musicals. Even when a show is tested in Germany there is at least a year between the German opening and Broadway run so that translations and changes can be made to suit American audiences. The turnaround for An American in Paris is barely 3 months including previews. Yes testing An American in Paris in Paris France is a great marketing idea, but so is testing it in Paris, Texas, where you know they speak English!!

I believe it's meant to be one of the things at the top right corner of this picture. I don't know what they're called.

Posted: 10/9/14 at 3:10amAdvertising pillar? The poster is all over Paris (subway, bus station etc.) in various sizes and very catching between the tons of other advertising. looks clean and fresh. The American version looks like the book cover of a chic lit-novel.

It's pretty. I'm just a little surprised it's so low-key. I would have thought they might highlight the dance aspect of the show a bit more like in the original movie poster. Brings more life and energy one might expect to see in the show itself.
And yeah, the Colonnes are nearly as iconic as the Eiffel Tower itself. Next year, they will be celebrating their 160th anniversary of their installation.

Posted: 10/9/14 at 1:28pmI agree with the chick lit comment, It's a nice graphic but doesn't really say to me Broadway musical
#23An American in Paris Poster Revealed
Posted: 10/9/14 at 1:36pmFor some reason, it makes me think of Prelude to a Kiss. It looks more like a small romantic play.
