Wow, even before they open they are switching to b&w; grosses can't be THAT bad!

Aww that's disappointing... I love the color artwork!!

I'm a fan of color covers, but YCTIWY's B&W cover is one of the nicer ones :)

I disagree. I think that it would look a lot nicer with a higher contrast so everything doesn't mash together.

They open tonight. Still in September. They are switching to a black and white cover after they open, which is normal. With the exceptions of IT'S ONLY A PLAY and LADY DAY, it was the highest grossing straight play last week. Especially considering that a portion of the house is reserved for Roundabout subscribers, they are doing fine.

^^^^ Really cool. Hopefully it will stay in color.

I think it's interesting that they aren't really making Hugh Jackman prominent in the promotional artwork. Obviously they could and nothing would be wrong with that, but it's cool that the producers and Jackman are focusing on the play. It's already been mentioned on the board, but I really admire Hugh for doing this new work in an intimate setting instead of a big, flashy musical/concert engagement.

I really like the artwork for the Elephant Man... minus the eyeball. But I kind of have this thing about not liking eyes, so maybe that is why.

[Fantod]

Yeah, the eyeball is super creepy and not in a good way.

Well, it looks like the Elephant Man has new cover art... I kind of liked the old colors better with the elephants. Did they have to keep the creepy eye?!

I wonder why they changed it? I too liked the other one better, it seemed more like an authentic poster of the period and subject matter.

That Honeymoon in Vegas Playbill is the tackiest thing I have ever seen.

I would like the Honeymoon in Vegas one much better if it didn't have the parachuting added to it. I liked the Papermill Playhouse artwork:

[Fantod]

Posted: 10/18/14 at 12:44am

Agreed. The gold background is tacky enough even without those ridiculous parachuters. The whole show just looks terrible.

[Mr. Nowack]

Posted: 10/18/14 at 12:48am

Oh my gosh, I didn't even notice the parachuters at first glance! Truly awful.
