I dig the pink. It's eye catching. Also love them using "Everybody's playing the game" as the tagline.

Although I really wish everyone would just drop the whole "...The Musical" thing.

Looks like the art for "Nip/Tuck: The Musical"...

I almost choked to death reading that. 

For everyone complaining about Mayer... imagine if Ryan Murphy directed this.  That man has never met subtext.

I was going to book my first visit back to the East Coast in July since moving almost 2 years ago. BOOP! has been the number one show on my list to see. I am afraid it may not be open until then so might postpone my trip until the fall. Hopefully this will start previews in October when I have a chunk of time off. Not really excited about Michele, (She better sing the hell out of Nobody's Side"!), but can say I have seen her live, if I see it. I was a big GLEE fan. Tveit's acting was really wooden when I saw him in "Moulin Rouge", but I really like his voice. I will see Nick in anything!!

BOOP won't be open in July and CHESS is taking the Broadhurst!

When they say "Tony Winner Aaron Tveit," can they also put the Broadway legends and behemoths he beat out to get that "Tony"?

To this day Tveit has given the worst acting performance I've seen on Broadway in Moulin Rouge. Like just bad. But he can sing. I don't think this holds any interest for me though.

You might not like that he won but he did. Was it his fault that Covid happened?

Nah.  Now when Derek Klena took over...THAT was like a piece of lumber.

Would “All I Know” be the finale or the Act 1 closer?

Can you name one piece of advertising featuring a Tony winner that has listed their competition?

And don't give it to Svetlana!  Florence, the LEAD, needs an "I Want" song and Nobody's Side ain't it.

Just read the plot. There could be alot of shows closing after the Tonys. Never say never?

Is there any buzz re: who will play Svetlana?

Are we sure Chess will take the Broadhurst???, because I’ve heard CATS: The Jellicle Ball is taking the Broadhurst

I’ve heard from sources very close to the production that Solea Pfeiffer is set to play Svetlana

The font choices here are giving Varsity/Heathers/Legally Blonde not 80s/Cold War/high stakes politics. Pink and red don’t make any sense (red alone would or with yellow/gold or blue to reference geographic politics). This whole look is only held together by a successful evocative underlying image, which looks cribbed from Sunset. 
 

Broadway has gotten so incredibly lazy in regard to designing artwork. This looks like a campaign for Victoria’s Secret Pink line. When will we see exciting art again that truly becomes an effective “first encounter” with the show? Shoutout to Dead Outlaw’s simple bandana that instantly sets the stage and clues the viewer into what the show is about or at least primary themes. 
 

Im hoping this is just a placeholder, I fear it’s not.

The logo looks like a 75 year old beautician was given a quick tutorial on using InDesign and created it.

They should have used this template as an idea:

Damn, I'd love to hear Tveit sing Anatoly's songs....maybe at the next "Miscast?"

Not that Nicholas Christopher isn't great, because he is.  These three are very well cast.
