Just add two more wonderful names to the top of that, and it would be perfect! This is such a simple poster, but I love it already.

I love it! I'm looking forward to taking my parents to see this when they visit me in the city.

LOVE IT! Just makes me wish I could see it even more! I love this show! I don't care how many revivals they do. It's such a gem of a show.

I'm really getting excited about this show... I like how classic-looking the poster is. I hope they don't try to 'update' it too much. The book is still great, and the score's still beautiful.

You do realize that those are two completely different fonts, correct?

It really does have that 50's feel to it.

I like it, but from a distance, you think, "Who the f--k is Platt Graham?"

I want to know who that "Oliver Lauren" is who's billed above Platt. Costume designer?

Evidently, the answer to "What's playin' at the Roxy?" is "Something starting with the word THE..."

I dunno. It is nicely done don't get me wrong, but it doesn't scream 'wow' to me either.

I'm surprised how many people are liking this artwork...so bland.

For me, it's less the poster itself and more that it's sort of hard proof that the revival actually is happening. Even if it is only on a computer screen.

Eew.

Don't like this artwork at all, I gotta say. It just seems cheesy and cheap to me.

They should use something in the vein of the London production's artwork.
That was cool...and new and fresh.
