The Carousel Playbill doesn't work, it did for shows like Crucible and Glass Menagerie but this is a poor attempt. Kinda bummed this is what I'll be getting when I see it.. If they change it after opening I might have to have someone snag me one.
This CAN'T be the final Playbill design. It's probably just a temporary design for now. Why can't they just put the design for the poster on the Playbill? I'm kinda digging the Playbill design though, but I feel it shouldn't be the final cover.
Summer looks so poorly photoshopped. There are 3 Donnas in the show. Not 5. They should have just used the one photo. Also, that shoulder (?) in the center seems like its coming out of an insane place.
Saint Joan is pretty standard but it's a lovely beauty shot.
I don't hate the Summer one lol! It's serving up disco camp.
I thing that the MFL artwork is pretty but idk missing something. I really loved an image LCT posted on Instagram with the title treatment set in a bed of flowers, now that was gorgeous (not sure how to link it??)

I agree, the flowers are lovely. If they wanted something more abstract or ambiguous that didn't comment on the show that much I would have preferred the flowers to this blurry, anonymous crowd. James McMullan is capable of very fine detail work in watercolor so it's not like that was the issue.

So that means that both of them and Renee Flemming will be automatically considered in Leading Categories for the Tony Awards right? Since they're all billed above the title?
I wonder if they'll campaign for Renee Flemming to be considered for Supporting like Michael Cervaris was in the 2012 Evita revival since he was originally billed above the title as well.

Love love love that THREE TALL WOMEN one. I think it has been the one of the black and white production photo playbills that most effectively channels the 1960's ones.
I really love The Iceman Cometh. If you're not going to sell the star casting (which people arguably know about already) then it's actually a good, evocative cover.
