New Playbills for Season 2008-2009! — Page 4

Oohh!! I love HAIR's playbill!!

and BLITHE SPIRIT's looks great!

Does anyone happen to know what West Side Story's will look like?

Thanks broadwayguy! I love the logo, but I wish they would use a little bit more than just having it say West Side Story.

I love Hair, but let's be honest, the playbill is not gonna look that good after a couple of weeks...

I'm lovin it that most of the spring ones are in full color! Here are the enlarged versions of the thumbnails above:


Joe Turner's Come and Gone at the Belasco


God of Carnage at the Bernard B. Jacobs


Rock of Ages at the Brooks Atkinson

I must admit! Rock of Ages playbill f**** ROCKS!

"the tale of two citites one is hideous!"
WHY? It looks pretty classy and to the point to me, while not giving away the story.
Oh, and I LIKE the colors.

Your choice of words might apply better to "Hair" or "Reasons to be Pretty", yeah?

I love the Playbills for the new season. I hope Hair can keep the color Playbills for awhile.

color is often used while (if) a show is selling well. Once costs need to be watched (in the winter, poor sales) they will switch to B/W.

what's horrible about it?

It's been my experience that the color version is used until such time as financial considerations (i.e., sagging box office) come into play. I've had the experience where, at the same performance, some of the Playbills are in color and some are in black and white. And I believe it's Roundabout's policy not to publish their Playbills in color ever. It was really a shame last year that Sunday in the Park with George didn't have a color Playbill -- the logo was quite lovely. It all comes down to money. And boo-hiss for the artwork for reasons to be pretty.

The first thing that came to my mind after seeing the ROCK OF AGES playbill was He-Man and the Master of the Universe!
