Yikes! I mean they can always update it as the show gets closer, or during the run. Like GREY GARDENS did.

I wouldn't be as disappointed with it if they actually used a picture from City Center. That makes absolutely no sense to use a picture from another production. I can actually live with just the blue on blue PATTI LUPONE GYPSY logo without her picture.

LOL @ Robbie.

Just because it is going to be in the New York Times on Sunday does not mean it is the final artwork. Do any of you remember that weird image they concocted for Cat On A Hot Tin Roof when the presale began? It is not the poster anymore. They have an improved image with the cast. If they do not change the poster when it goes on sale to the public like Cat did there is trouble.

I am hopeful...

I am with smaxie... I think that's the FINAL ART work or Logo... bec. its everywhere-like PLAYBILL, Broadway.com, tele-charge,etc... and their Official website..

They are not gonna go around and take back those.....- just my thought..

and its not really that BAD ! I am starting to like it !

Its the show people ...not the logo or artwork .....

We're 7 pages into this thread already, but here's my take:

First impressions: "hey, it's blue. I've never seen Gypsy in blue before. That's kind of neat."

But why is the lettering so blurry? Why doesn't she have a shadow, seeing as she's standing in front of about 150 stage lights? Why do the reflection angles go in different directions? And the more I look at it, I just have to wonder why they didn't put her in another color so she'd pop a little more.

These are all issues that could be corrected in 45 minutes, even by a photoshop novice like myself. Seriously, there are at least a dozen part-time designers on BWW who could have done wonders with 10 minutes with Patti LuPone and a photographer and 24 hours turnaround time.

It's not terrible in concept but it's shoddy in execution, and the real tragedy is that it could have been wonderful.

Wow. was not expecting this.

"Dear Liam,
Oh! No, it's just a better picture than any of the CC pics and I get
to wear a wig again!
Love, Patti"

...wow. I... shouldn't have assumed that she would be a witch... I love this lady.

same wig? different wig? new wig? maybe they'll bring back her Reno wig. :)

just kidding.

that's a really big mic...

YAY PATTI! So that REALLY was her real hair at CC? I know some thought it was a wig.

I wonder if the new wig will be the Ravinia one, hmm.

So this is the official artwork for now? I guess?

re: Lupone Gypsy Poster#158

Posted: 1/10/08 at 4:36pm

guess so. And it seems she likes it...

It's growing on me too, though.

I just wonder if they'll have her awkwardly put in on the ends of the marquee cards... the big long ones... or if they'll blow that picture up like... seventeen times it's size and hoist it up on the front of the St. James.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS SHOW.

that's a really big mic...

I honestly think for for the marquee (and other promotional stuff) they should just have the blue on blue PATTI LUPONE GYPSY logo. No picture of her. While it is growing on me, I miss the classy CC artwork.

re: Lupone Gypsy Poster#160

Posted: 1/10/08 at 4:40pm

who did the CC artwork?

It was some of the best I've seen... ever...

even though her hair hadn't been like that since sometime mid 1984...

that's a really big mic...

I've never laughed so hard on something on this message board as the "Gypsy on Ice" poster!

Thanks for making my day!
