Interesting LA CAGE feature; posters/advertising- Page 2

The whole "woman with mustache" thing is SO OLD and so very very "Victor/Victoria". The first lyrics in this musical are "we are what we are and what we are is an ILLUSION", meaning these drag queens are flawless enough to pass as gorgeous women, as the best drag queens do. It just doesn't fit to advertise this musical with an image of a drag queen with a mustache or stubble. It's too cheap.

The one they chose is sexy and loud and presents the "ladies" without making any kind of cheap shot about the fact they're not really girls. The musical never presents them that way and neither should the poster.

They have three color treatments outside the Longacre, also found on the website. Which do you prefer best? Personally, blue works best, there's a cool, crisp sensibility to it. But yes, this art (among the eight on the NYT feature) suits this production best.

Normally I have a hard time choosing things like this, but this one was so clear. The final one was the ONLY one that worked for me at all. It's so right -- and yes, definitely in bright pink!

I found this on Broadway.com's opening night article...It kinda seems like something I might have doodled in class after seeing the current pink one
