I really like the Fiddler revival playbill-specifically the colored one. If I am not mistaken, there are two, and the other on is black and white.

I've wondered this for some time - what is the difference between a Showbill and a Playbill? I have a Lion King Showbill but all the other ones are Playbills. It has always confused me...

My personal favorite out of the like 9 I have is The Producers one with Nathan and Matthew, just because it's fun and they look so cute in that pose. My other ones are rather boring, and the Aida one depresses me because I didn't get to see Deborah, but there she is on the cover.

The programs from the Teens and Twenties (1910-1929) are truly works of art, if you've never seen them.

These program never identified the show on its cover. It was for the theatre and the cover was 4-color artwork. The one for the New Amsterdam Theatre, for example, featured a beautiful Art Deco cover in full color.

I several such programs (The New Amsterdam, the 46th Street, the Sam Harris) framed and on the wall of my library.

Let's see... CATS: classic. Phantom: classic. The Titanic tour Playbill was really nice. NINE was great. And I really like the DRACULA playbill, too.

Wonderful Town

It's positively adorable (even in black and white).

I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

All the coloured ones. The black and white logos ruin it for me.

I think the AIDA playbill is gorgeous.

I believe you have to join Playbill in order to have Playbills. Producers who have not joined Playbill use Showbill instead.

Interestingly enough, London does not use Playbill or Showbill (at least they didn't two years ago). You have to buy a program to get a listing of the actors, the creative team, etc.

But I forgot to answer the question... I like most of the illustrations on the Playbills that Lincoln Center Theatre uses...

I really liked the Fiddler cover. My HS did Fiddler in the Spring, and my friend and I tried to persuade the faculty to use it as the cover to our programs, but to no use lol. I don't know why I like it, maybe its the unexpected colors.

I like the Wicked one. Im not just saying it cuz im a fan. I like it cuz its so mysterious. With not being able to see Elphabas eyes, and with Glinda whispering. It makes you wonder.

I actually really like the Urinetown Playbill, it's really simple. Hairspray is one of my all time favorites, and I like Wicked's playbill too with the color contrast.
