Would it kill Roundabout to throw some color into their Playbills?
I know, I know... they're a non-profit, they've never had color Playbills, why change it now, it's not necessary, blah, blah, blah. I get it. I just wonder why they wouldn't at least throw a colorful background behind the text, make it a consistent thing and get some flare on their Playbills. Even the Public started doing color Playbills downtown and those look great. Doesn't necessarily have to be the show logo, but at least the Roundabout logo, the show title and some color. Just rambling.

^^^ Thank you! I hear ya! Noises Off was a missed opportunity. It would have been gorgeous in color. Same with Old Times. She loves me is just wrong and ugly.

I honestly didn't mind Old Times at all. Definitely the best of all them.

I am a massive fan of the vintage Playbill look. I love SHUFFLE ALONG & THE CRUCIBLE. I appreciate the nod to the novel, re: AMERICAN PSYCHO. One has to wonder how just a touch of color could have elevated it. Maybe if the letters were red but Mr. Bateman was still in black & white?

I agree that that could have given it a little more maybe, but it has started to grow on me a little already.

"I didn't like American psycho but when someone explained about how they tried to recreate the novel's book cover then it made sense and I guess it's ok. At least it wasn't for the lack of imagination."
Looking at the cover of the novel they chose a better font and the photo was much better. It has that oddly flat male model look where the person is looking at you but looking through you. On the Playbill Walker is just looking off into distance blandly.

Also, deeply sorry for the horribly pixelated attachment of that playbill. The new Vault design is ruining my life.

I'm sorry... even if they are inspired by the novel for American Psycho, the entire marketing campaign so far is built on the pink/blue colors and is beautiful! I mean thanks for teasing us with those colors and making me hope for a bright and fun playbill and then give us this. The book was at least in color. If you're going to reference the book, give us some color!
Just showing my terrible disappointment for this cover. SMH

I don't think everyone should give the AP playbill a pass just because it's a reference to the book. I don't think it's a particularly well done homage.

I disagree. I don't think that it has to be an exact replica to be a good homage. I think their design is cool and fitting - but to each his own. I respect your dislike for it.

I feel like I know exactly what kind of show Tuck Everlasting will be just by looking at the playbill.

Long Day's Journey is beautiful. Roundabout's black and white playbills can work if they just put a little effort in.
