This is one of the best show logos I've seen in such a long time!
I hope this is released as a poster! Cuz it's screaming at me to put it on my wall along with Grindhouse, Rocky Horror and Spring Awakening!

I'm seriously in love with it :)

Aww. I'd already grown attatched to the La Jolla Playhouse art work. Though, the actual font was different in the newspaper ads.

The La Jolla one is boring. It's just a photograph. And it looks like it's for a movie.

And it's all black.

There's no comparison.

That looks like it belongs to Grease.

?It should be up very soon, alfgiotir. I'd say in within the next month.

I definitely get a Rebel Without A Cause vibe but it's very fitting for this show...except no one named Plato gets shot***.

***I apologize if that was a spoiler for anyone.

Oh, I love it! It's just perfectly retro. I will defiantly have to get this poster to put up on my wall!

It used to be blue, with a picture of James, and him shedding a single kind of sparkly blue tear.

Ooh, I wanna see that!

It's sure going to sell tickets. Hope the show doesn't go the way of Urban Cowboy -- great sexy poster, flawed show, short run (UC poster still is on my living room wall -- guess it's going to have a new neighbor).

Eh.

I don't think that the logo is an accurate representation of the show. Cry-Baby isn't a big scary intimidating guy, he is a nice and sweet one!


Also, yellow!!?? There is almost 0 yellow in the production. The show is full of blues and greens similar to the La Jolla logo. I just think the yellow is kind of ugly.

But I do LOVE Harriet in the background.

Neddy,

The poster doesn't have to match the set at all.

I like it. I love how they made it look like an old 50's movie poster.

The logo just has to sell the show, not please the people who have already seen the show.

[neddyfrank2]

I think the poster is an inaccurate representation of the show.

And I have talked to about a dozen other people today who saw the show and the poster and none of them liked it.

And Winston, where did I say that the set was blue and green? The set is actually a whole bunch of colors. But the proscenium around it and the floor was painted light blue/green.

Edit: And, what parent is going to take their kid to see a show that looks like a giant attacking a bunch of people who look terrified of him? Updated On: 1/30/08 at 12:10 AM

I actually really like the La Jolla one. It seems innovative and fresh, but still period specific. And I like that they didn't have to add the tagline " :A New Musical!" which just tends to destroy any dramatic value the show had. But the new one is okay. I just don't see it standing out in the busy Times Square, but maybe it will look different up on a marquee.

Compared to other recent posters, it looks amazing.

By itself, I'm not really impressed. It looks too ribald. Ribald isn't bad, but it's turning me off a little bit.
