Love it. Especially Jan.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I hope this artist is hired by many more shows to do their artwork.

I was looking forward to this show to begin with but now I am looking forward to it even more. I love the artwork. I hope either this or some variation of it becomes the artwork for the marquee.

It looks great, just like many of the old posters that it's based on. It's not a new or unique idea, but it works!

This artist specializes in recreating the style of vintage movie poster and pin-ups.

Finally, a Broadway poster that isn't a photoshop masturbatory session- AND it perfectly encapsulates the show in every way. Really wonderful.

I think the artwork is way too busy for a Playbill cover, but I LOVE it as a poster. I'm curious to see what they do for the Playbill.
