I really love the artwork for Wonderland! The writing, the backdrop..everything!

The artwork of London's Ragtime production reminds me of this...

^ It does. So I guess it represents the show quite well...

I always like this Spring Awakening artwork better than what was used on Broadway, and I second what was said about liking the old N2N artwork better as well

I nearly booked a flight to NYC just so I could put the Finian's Rainbow Playbill up on my wall. It's gorgeous.

Someone earlier posted the 'Hedda Gabler' poster. If the show lived up to the standards of the gorgeous artwork then that evening in the theatre might have been tolerable. Ashamedly, I actually bought the poster. I just think it's stunningly beautiful... as is Mary Louise-Parker. I never hung it up though because I hated the show so much.

I did not know that Marti Pellow was ever in Witches Of Eastwick.

Would have loved to see him. And although I like Ian McShane, let's face it - it's hard to even tell what his songs are supposed to sound like with him growling through them.

Does anyone have a picture of the possible artwork for 9 to 5 the musical? It was mentioned in another thread

Best ever.

Worst ever is that terrible new Phantom face or How to Succeed In Business one from several years back. Ugly, ugly, ugly.

I think the artwork for the A Little Night Music revival is absolutely disgusting. Can anyone look at that purple and orange mess and honestly think it's going to appeal to anyone who is not already planning on seeing the show? I'm not a designer, but there must be some rule about not putting purple and orange together, especially when they are blended. It didn't work for the original Ragtime artwork either.

I love the Follies posters by David Edward Byrd. They are the ones that are at 2, 3, 4, and 7. He also designed the poster for SOON, a rock musical from the 1970s, which I have as my avatar. His posters for Soon, Godspell, Follies, Robber Bridegroom, and Frank Merriwell are all part of a series of posters he conceived as all being faces looking head on.







His The Grand Tour poster is among my all time favorites.

I'll add to the chorus of voices who like the Follies artwork, particularly the original production's. Most of Hal Prince's shows have very strong poster art.

The artwork of Peter de Seve always seems to fit the show it represents

This is a fun thread.

I think my all time favorite poster is the original Follies by Byrd.

I love Hilary Knight! Irene is a lovely image that is similar to No, No, Nanette. But, nothing beats his artwork for the Magdalena recording. Pitch perfect.



The artwork from the original production is wonderful as well.
