no poroblem ljay889, it's frustrating if someone gets really preachy with no source to back it all up.

Wow that really is terrible. Why must it be so... blue!? I much prefer the City Center logo.

This would be great if it were a 10th grader's final project in his graphic design class. As a Broadway poster, on the other hand ...

Dear god. I know a professor of mine whose head will explode when he sees this.

It's CRAPTASTIC and I doubt this is the official one. There's just NO WAY.

I agree! There is no way this could be the official poster. Someone needs to email Patti and ask, she'll prob. asnwer too.

I still can't understand why they would use a picture from Ravinia?

RetroBoy-I'm with you...this cannot be the final poster!

Loops is photoshopped to hell.

They took out the odd armpit ventilators, smoothed out the dress, slimmed her down, changed the color of the dress and brightened her skin tone throughout.

Atrocious.

I think Patti's gonna have a sh*t fit when she sees that poster.

Take your pick.

This cannot be the final poster. It is just too terrible. I hope they use the image of her belting it out from City Center.

I think the Gypsy poster is 5 billion times worse than the In The Heights poster.

I think the IN THE HEIGHTS poster is gorgeous.

Trish is paid to write bad things about the show, so her opinion is irrelevant.

Yea, I haven't seen "In the Heights" and that poster makes me want to.

Much more than the poster from Off-Broadway.

It looks fun, exciting and shows alot of the cast which is cool.

I'm still giggling about someone saying her leg not being able to twist that way when it was probably the only thing that wasn't photoshopped from that original picture. Both that fact and the angle of the leg are quite amusing.

I actually like the In The Heights poster. The Gypsy poster, on on the other hand, is terrible. It looks like a Company poster reject. It looks a little better without Lupone, but not much.

I love the In The Heights poster. I did not see it Off-Broadway and have heard amazing things and that poster makes me want to see it more.

I love that image of her from "Rose's Turn", but I think the poster as a whole could stand some fix ups.

Add me to the list of those hoping this isn't the final poster. It's fairly atrocious. Whoever suggested the idea of a graphic with a real vintage look, brava! I would love to see something like that here. Furthermore, to use a photo from an entirely different production is a joke. I don't know why the folks behind this production would choose to showcase her Ravinia look/photo, let alone why they're ALLOWED to use it(copyright, etc.).

And by the way, I love me some P. LuPone, but that's some billing she's contracted! Her name is so large, it appears as if the title of the piece is: "Patti LuPone Gypsy."

They also took the straps off of her character shoes...

Although I'm a fan of T-straps, I do find it looks nice without them, but in the grand scheme if that is the best thing I have to say about the poster....

Ew. I'm seriously disappointed in this poster.

"Her name is so large, it appears as if the title of the piece is: 'Patti LuPone Gypsy.'"

At City Center, the title WAS LuPone Gypsy.

Wait, the show listing page has it without the crappy pic, is it possible that someone decided that the Stage Notes version needed a crap-up? Or that Paul Wontorek was playing photoshop before writing the blog and uploaded the wrong pick???

I normally wouldn't question this, but its sooooooooooooooooo ugly.
