The poster looks awful. I prefer the City Center Encores poster over this mess.

GAH!!! I'm just so upset over this, haha!
I can't wait to get into work tomorrow and get to the bottom of this!

What the HELL is THAT??? That's atrocious. Why would they use a picture from Ravinia? Are they going back to the Ravinia wig? Why would Laurents let them use a picture from a production he didn't even direct.
This can't be it.

It just looks wrong....like, seriously - her leg looks photoshopped VERY poorly, I dont' think a leg can bend like that in that place...were they trying to slim down La LuPone?

PS. It looks better without her picture on it.

That is awful in every way, shape and form.

If you look on the show listing page, it has the same poster, but without Patti superimposed. Maybe they'll end up using that one?

Yeah, it looks like someone just photoshopped this! I can't and don't believe a real full out broadway production would make such a crappy poster...

well...it kinda makes sense, this is definately a LOW budget production. They're using the same set from Encores (and that set was really low budget!). The whole thing is just a thrown together vehicle for La LuPone to live a dream.

Oh because Sam Mendes bareboned production had such an EXTRAVAGANT set?

umm at least it was tasteful and inventive. It had something called a "concept".

It doesn't even look like Lupone in that horrid photo.

Looks just as promising as the new "In the Heights" design mess. NOT !!!

The lettering/color scheme reminds me of the Company poster.
And who's idea was it to put Patti in a blue dress on a blue background.
It needs color.

BrianIdol, would you like to inform us how you get all this info about the new production? I'm not doubting you. But for a production you hate you sure know a lot about it. Like using the same exact set from City Center, and the Orchestra on stage again (which is RIDICULOUS.)

I don't like it either. I also thought of Company when I saw it.

sure, my friend is the assistant set designer for the show, and she delivered the model to Arther Laurents apt.

This is absolutely embarrassing. The graphic design for the Encores production was excellent and instantly recognizable, even if you'd only seen it once. Who is responsible for this piece of crap?

Thanks, Brian. I never doubted you. Was just curious, because I know you how you feel about this production.

I seriously think the graphic designers are on strike.

LuPone really deserves so much better. How could Laurents allow that crap? The CC poster was so classy!
