Haha I love it hotjohn!
The more I look at it the more I'm convinced the artwork is fan-made.

hotjohn - that is funny. Thanks for the laugh.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but assuming this poster IS real, wouldn't that make Platt and Graham above-the-title names? Like PATTI LUPONE GYPSY? And doesn't that mean you can (not that I would) get a refund if either is absent? Is this usual with a production like Guys and Dolls? Were Ewan McGregor, Jane Krakowski, or (different revival) Nathan Lane ever above-the-title?
The last Guys and Dolls revival didn't have any names or credits on the poster, but on the CD the credits page does have Nathan Lane, Peter Gallagher, Josie de Guzman and Faith Prince all above the title. If it was also listed like that in the playbill then I believe the rule applies.
Hmmm that really makes me hope that this is the actual artwork, as I would love that rule to apply. As much as I adore understudies and generally getting to see a different performer take the show in a totally new direction, I would really love to see Lauren Graham and (to a slightly lesser extent) Oliver Platt. But then again, Platt is in one of my favorite films from my younger days (Three to Tango, which I watched solely due to my at-the-time-straight fixation with Neve Campbell which eventually just morphed into a love for all Scream Queens), so it's really a win-win here. :)
*edited to add: just typing "scream queens" made me think of that atrocious show on ...MTV I think? which is like Legally Blonde: Search for the Next Elle Woods but with a promise to be in Saw 6...wow...truly frightening*

Hey! I used to have a crush on Neve Campbell too. Which, of course, morphed into a crush on her brother.
This site is the origin place of the poster. So I don´t know is it real or not? it says first peek at GaD art so I would assume yes.

LMAO! I know - Christian Campbell is just so fantastic. I mean, anyone that can do Trick AND Reefer Madness is more than okay in my book.
And thank you for the link Hahabimbi. Hmmm looking more and more authentic, which certainly makes me happy. :)
