The sepia tone is icky. It looks more like peepee-a tone..
Black and white would look so much nicer.

Normally, I like sepia-toned antique photos.
But this is just drab. And the colored graphics just look amateur.

Screw you all. My neighbor's 4 year old son did that logo. It took him about an hour, between distractions from Spongebob Squarepants and his WII.
Geez! Give the kid a break!

Oh my gosh, that is awful! They should just use the logo from the original production.

I do not understand. Maybe they will change it.

That's what they used at the Kennedy Center.

It's atrocious! I love sepia and I think red/blue make sense, but the two don't blend at all!

It looks like the cover of a self-published novel. Truly unfortunate.

That's the logo from the Kennedy Center. It's not the logo for the Broadway production.

Regardless of what production it's for, the lettering reminds me of what was used in Grease the movie.

Awful. Not enticing in the least.

For me, the main problem is the typeface - it's too early, dating from the 1870s-1880s. And its badly placed, spaced and is too large for the 'window' that holds it.
I like the idea of sepia, but it does make the poster look awfully drab.
I think the FINIANS RAINBOW logo is equally bad.

That makes me think of a that a school would use for their production of the show and not one that is slated for Broadway.

That's definitely a low-budget poster. Hopefully, the BW production will have a better one.

It looks like it was designed and approved by people who have never seen the show.
EDIT: Or never listened to ragtime music, for that matter.

If it were too late, I could see the problem, but just because the typeface was from the 1880s doesn't mean it couldn't have been used 20 years later in the time period of the show. That's like saying Times New Roman can't be used for contemporary shows. It's not like people just give up and stop using them ten years after they were designed.
Kennedy Center posters have never been attractive. I have four windowcards from the Sondheim Celebration. Sunday and Passion are good graphically, but Merrily and Sweeney are just plain ugly.

I think if the font and color were changed a bit, and that blue box behind the title was gone, it wouldn't be so bad. It's the blue box that really stands out, in my opinion.

I swear that red is THE default red that comes up when you click the "stroke" filter. Ugh!
