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 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 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.

Frank, r u ok? What's wrong?

And most of the old links are also gone.

The ripples of the terrible revamp are terrible

Antonjian... is that just a picture glued onto a playbill? Cause it looks like it

lol...way to ruin the trend of real playbills

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 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. 

Will Paramour have a Playbill? 

^^agreed.

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