Was looking in the New York Times today in the Arts and Leisure section... I was surprised with Wicked opening tonight that there was no ad for it.
But what was there was an ad for Avenue Q that said:
Avenue Q welcomes Wicked to Broadway! and there's a picture of the puppet Lucy with a witches hat on and the caption said Wicked Witch of the Chest!
I don't think I've ever seen an ad before where one show welcomes another. I thought it was great!!
If I remember correctly, I think Avenue Q did this for The Boy From Oz also. If it is true, then props to the pruducers! What a nice thing to do.
i do remember that ad about BFO from AVENUE Q, it was something like BOY FROM THE CLOSET. The campaign cleverly mixes their characters with new "big event" shows...
That is sooo smart and fun! I can't wait to see what they will do for Taboo! =)
