There'll probably be a version with Matthew Broderick or Kelli O'Hara for bigger billboards and publicity... what do you think?

Holy cow, how many different fonts did they use?
Too bad they don't have anything that represents the characters or story. Perhaps that will come later?

Posted: 11/28/11 at 6:37pmWow, too many different fonts.

Posted: 11/28/11 at 6:41pmI actually like it but I agree all the different fonts make it look busy.

It really does resemble the Looney Tunes logo.

I agree that it needs a visual component of some kind that offers a better sense of the story, but otherwise I like it for the same Looney Tunes-esque reason offered above. Given that they're basically telling us nothing of substance, it still gives some feeling of being a fun show.
As near as I can tell, it's two fonts + the title treatment. Looking at "Anything Goes" and "Porgy & Bess" -- period musicals with star billing (and shorter titles!) -- they seem to do the same, though the fonts are absolutely less florid so maybe less distracting. If they can come up with some sort of iconic image/graphic -- and they really should -- then I think it will matter less.

What do you think of the addition of the two stars in the poster?

Here's the rest of it, which I think is fun. Sort of looks like an MGM musical poster.
#24NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT Broadway Artwork
Posted: 12/17/11 at 12:49amI like the MGM musical version, maybe because it's more artwork and less crazy fonts overload. Then again, I like Kelli's face so yeah.
