No -- because they already confirmed they are playing the Booth weeks ago.

To be fair DEH originally announced for the Belasco then Shuffle Along closed"



Sure, but that’s not super relevant here. Shows sometimes switch theatres, but it’s more of an exception than a rule. Generally shows go into the ones that are initially announced, so unless we have a reason to suspect that Kimberly Akimbo might strongly prefer the Music Box (or that the Shuberts want the Booth open for something else), there’s not much use speculating about a switch - much less “safely assuming”

...Anyway

I haven’t seen the show - what’s the reason for the six flags reference?

The park's drive-thru safari is referenced in the show.

I think this sends the message that this is a very gay musical, which it is decidedly not.

I'm getting reading rainbow vibes. I preferred the scrabble pieces logo.

I recognized the SFGA logo since I'm a theme park addict, but the general public is def not going to get that. Unless there's a subplot about them getting stuck on El Toro, this seems like a dumb choice.

Sorry, but WHAT are they thinking...yikes.

Agree, the Scrabble hourglass was a great icon for this show.

There were still ways to make the hourglass/scrabble logo fun!

Agree - the other artwork is far superior and more iconic and not so generic as the rainbow theme park colors on the website!"

I was already hoping for a t shirt with the scrabble/hourglass design. I’m disappointed.

Not exactly sure why but the new design for some reason made me think of the Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical logo. Must be the stars.

Ouch! That logo is atrocious. The show is too good for this level of mediocrity.

Thats…not how branding works.
