Holy crap, that is a work of brilliance. My hat is off to whoever is responsible.

I LOVE IT! The Cagelles look three dimensional and are pulled forward from the letters in a pink neon glow. I adore it!

I think it's one of the best Broadway posters I've ever seen. I will definitely be owning one.

I do wish the stories revealing the artwork would give credit where it's due, at least to the agency representing the show if not the artists. Mullen gets his due as an artist, but almost no other photographers or graphic artists do. As a big fan of Broadway artwork (and someone who makes a little side living designing my own), I would love to be able to follow the work of the industry's best, if only I knew who they were.

I find 75% of Broadway graphic design these days to be pretty awful, so it's probably for the best that they don't readily tout those responsible.
This is good, though.

Love. It.

I like it too. And I definitely don't agree that the masculinity is too obvious, I had to go back and look again when I read that they were men...

Love it!! When I looked at it, I instantly thought of "Big Spender." So any predictions of how this particular production will be?

I think it's kinda on the ugly side, but I don't think it's the worst thing I've ever seen. I'm a little mystified by some of the overly superlative comments, but maybe that's just me.

Oh, it's ALWAYS you Phyllis.

Anything with a neon "LA" in it makes me think of sneakers.

It's merely ok. I miss Hilary Knight, Doug Johnson, and David Byrd. They made amazing timeless designs.

It wouldn't generate my interest to buy a ticket. The artwork simply tells me I should expect to see shadowy showgirls, in feathered headress, in a cage. It conveys nothing about a musical. It doesn't "laugh." It doesn't "sing." It just "is."

Jose, perhaps it isn't too obvious but as mentioned they are actually men not showgirls, which is meant to convey *something* about the musical.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Brilliant.
And re: muscle tone -- MusicSnob1 is 100% correct. You're SUPPOSED to notice it. It's intentional. And it's perfect.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
