New playbill design?

So in my spare time just now, I searched through photos on instagram with the #broadway. I noticed some posts with playbills with the same design as the Shuffle Along playbill. The whole yellow top banner. the posts I found with these playbills are for Hamilton and Phantom. Could Playbill be changing their design for July-on?

My Playbill for the Crucible looks like this as well.

That could be because it's a Rudin show.

Blackbird, Skylight, A View From the Bridge, and Shuffle Along all had that type as well recently.

This An Act of God Playbill looks like that: https://instagram.com/p/BHQYHMngtMh/

But this one does not: https://instagram.com/p/BHGM3tAjPXK/

That's really fascinating - especially since that playbill design has only been seen in Scott Rudin productions so far.

The cost for that bleed cover has got to be exorbitant compared to the non-bleed design.

I'd wager shows that aren't doing well won't adopt it. (Wonder if I'll lose this wager...)

WHOA this is exciting. I've loved the new design ever since it first appeared (I forget what show that was) and was hoping for widespread adoptation.

I wonder for shows that close in July like SHE LOVES ME or FULLY COMITTED if the new crop of playbills after the pride crop will be the old design or this new one?? I am wondering because I am seeing these two this weekend.

^that beautiful playbill is stunning

I would go back to see Beautiful to get that Playbill.

Is the size changed bc I'm trying to scalp Hamilton tix on Wednesday and I already have a ton of playbill frames for my playbills for shows I play to see

I absolutely love this new design... hope it's adopted across the board. It looks much classier.
