I've got too many favorites to post here, but I really hate this new logo they keep trying to push for Phantom of the Opera.

Posted: 8/22/09 at 6:33pmThe new Phantom logo looks like the cover of a crappy romance novel.

Have you seen some of the Vegas promo art?
Would someone kindly remind me when THAT scene happened in the show? I seem to have forgotten.

Posted: 8/22/09 at 6:49pmThat Piazza artwork is pretty, but it kind of looks like he's throwing the hat to her.

I like the original Hair artwork.
I like the revival's, too, but the original fits with the show really well.

There is some really good work in those posters, thanks so much for reminding us of them!
Please keep in mind that the object of the artwork is to present the essence of the show or play, and not to present a picture of a cast member, a scene, or anything else that occurs on the stage.

Posted: 8/23/09 at 1:29amI have too many favorites, but my least favorite is definitely the new Phantom artwork. And I don't get the Vegas art either. How is the mask an "O"? If anything it's an "M" because of the way the bottom is shaped. I also hate that it's just "Phantom" now as that creates further confusion with the Maury Yeston version.

Posted: 8/23/09 at 1:46am^ Lol, I doubt that Yeston's Phantom was ever ANY competition to Webber's , love.

BUT Yeston is going to make it big with the NINE movie, then a full-scale Broadway production of PHANTOM will be produced to upstage POTO..
Well, no, and I know he doesn't really have competition, but STILLLL..I was kidding, I think.

Grey Gardens had a wonderfully expressive marquee, but the subsequent "Scandal" Ad Campaign later in the run drove that show into the ground in my opinion.

Posted: 8/23/09 at 2:33amI actually like James McMullan's artwork for The Light in the Piazza better than "ballet Clara", but I tend to like all the work he does for the Lincoln Center shows. South Pacific, Carousel and Parade were all great.

I really like the Legally Blonde artwork... It's super fun.
But really the first thing I thought of when I read the title of this thread was BOTH of The Light in the Piazza artworks. They're both pretty stunning.
However my favorite is Marie Christine...SO good.

How did I forget Urban Cowboy? Brilliant example of putting the show's best asset right on the poster.

Posted: 8/23/09 at 3:28amI love the new Hair artwork as well. I wish they would have printed a poster with the blue background and the blue sun.
