Cool! Do they also have a big poster hanging outside on the "rounded" part of the theatre?

Not yet as of yesterday. I actually posted a daytime pic on the first official thread yesterday, but the night shot looks cool.

the picture of Aaron, Alice and Robert is a little creepy out of context.

That's an awful tag line for the show.

It's not a play about music? It's not 33 Variations. It's just a musical. The characters don't know they're singing, that's why it's a musical....stupid.

Maybe its referring to the fact that it's almost sung completely through. Even if that were the case it's an awful tagline, though. It seems so uncreative.

I think the tag line is perfect.

^Yeah, I mean I get that it's like the meaning of that phrase/they literally face the music...but it just sounds so cliche and unoriginal. Thumbs down.

I understand why they choice the phrase and whatnot, but what I don't understand - and I've posted this on other threads - is why factor music into the tag line / ad campaign. Sure, the daughter studies music, but her studying music doesn't have anything to do with the actual storyline, or any big revelations in the show. The tag line should have been about memory loss or something to that effect. This makes it seem like it's a show about Beethoven or a Von Trapp Family.

^Yeah, I totally agree. But I don't think they factored Natalie's piano studies into that decision, I think it was more based on the fact that there's little dialogue, and the music is a big part of a show. But I completely agree, it sounds like it should be the tagline for the Partridge Family musical.

I still think the art is awful.

The photos on the door are great, though.. All creepy like.

OMG OMG OMG!!

Gah, those just totally made my day <33

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

They should start to advertise that great pull-quote from the NY Times when it was at 2ST.

"NEXT TO NORMAL is of real value to anyone who cares about the direction and possibilities of the American musical."

What a great quote.

@ Craww: What makes you think the art is awful? Is there any one reason in particular?
