Posted: 11/3/06 at 5:46pmVery cool. And Daniel Radcliffe is only 17? I wouldn't have guessed that, although I suppose it makes sense.

Well...I still think the FOLLIES OBC poster is the best...but this is a very, very close second.

Posted: 11/3/06 at 6:27pmThe image fits the material of the play perfectly. The play is so eerie and weird... the poster is perfect.

Posted: 11/3/06 at 6:41pmThat Equus one is amazing. As if Daniel Radcliffe didn't make me want to see this already, this poster definitely does.

Posted: 11/3/06 at 6:50pmIs that actually Radcliffe in the poster? Or is it a model or some sort?

I agree--it's just stunning. I'm excited to see John Napier attached with this production; do you think he'll use the same method to represent the horses as in the original production? We studied the play in depth my senior year of high school and I was struck by its brilliance.
Daniel Radcliffe should be spectacular--you can tell from the Harry Potter movies how much he has grown as an actor. And Richard Griffiths? Forget about it. Perfect choice for Dysart! If this transfers to Broadway, I am there in a heartbeat.

Follies is another perfect poster. It's amazing how much can be conveyed with a static image.
And while Radcliffe is legal in the UK I can only begin the drama if he came to the US in this show. That's why I mentioned he'd be 18 in July. That seems perfect for them to run in the UK for the planned four months, then transfer to Broadway in the fall.

He's attached to film the next "Harry Potter" movie. I don't think there's time for a Broadway transfer.
Perhaps if they find a bankable US star to play the role.

They could transfer it after filming the 6th one if they really wanted him to continue with it.
This artwork is probably the best artwork I've seen in years.
How to properly use its/it's:
Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

The poster should get an award. Disturbingly effective.
I don't know how I feel about seeing Harry Potter in the buff, though...I still think of him as a child, I guess...
