Maybe he's just broken my brain but the caricatures for ACL are almost recognizable? Jay Armstrong Johnson though...

If I didn’t read the description I wouldnt have known that was Jay.

The one for A Chorus Line isn't the worst one he's done...its actually not that bad.

Except, Richie looks like he he got off of the bus and truck of 'Spiderman".

Tony Yazbek looks like a jacked Harvey Weinstein.

I see someone's learned MSPaint's "color fill" feature. He must be so proud of himself.

I have kept quiet until know but this supposed "Stephanie J. Block as Cher" is the most hideous thing I've seen.

Goodness that rendering of her hair is unsettling. It looks like a cross between a brillo pad and....lower body hair.

You know how when people try to write out words on a big banner, and they run out of space for the last letters so they awkwardly cram them in and they end of being small and weird?

That's what it feels like happened with SJB's body here.

The KISS ME, KATE illustration was bland and humorless and looked nothing like Kelli and Will.

The latest one, for OKLAHOMA, is so awful it hurts, and borders on offensive....ugh!

Hirschfeld is twirling Ninas in his grave......

If Ken Fallin were my child, I would not even hang his Oklahoma drawing on the fridge.

It's so bad I think BWW has taken it down. I can't even find it.

I don't think the Kiss Me, Kate is terrible. If you tell me what I'm looking at, I can see Kelli and Will. And I think it nicely captures their lack of romantic chemistry. With the actors playing Tom, Dick, Harry, and Bianca, that could be anyone. 

I can't get to the BWW page either but you can still see it on Google Images. For Ken, that's a decent caricature of Damon but that background... Woof. Does he actually draw in Microsoft Paint?

Oh, God. It's back up and now I can see Rebecca. Christ. I think that might actually be offensive. At best, she looks like a camel.

Well I had never read his bio and put the two together, but now I see he did the "Forbidden Broadway" cover art. And I always remember picking up those albums and thinking what a great hideous parody of the Al Hirschfield caricatures.

Well the joke was on me.

I have to check out "All My Sons"! Dick Cheney, Charlie Sheen, and Connie Chung's mother are in this? How did Roundabout get them?
