Nitpicky though, I know. The one exception to this is the new Sing Street Playbill- it actually works perfectly and I think it looks incredible, absolutely one of my favorites this season. That being said, I still absolutely adore the Company Playbill with Bobbie sitting down. It's adorable. Just about what I was expecting for Flying Over Sunset, their artwork is also great.
I don't know who is spearheading the graphic design for Mrs. Doubtfire but it's the TOOTSIE of the 2020 season. That programcould not be more abysmal if it tried- I just would loveto see actual artwork and costumes and photos on my program- blank space is such a pet peeve, and all of Mrs. Doubtfire's marketing has been full of it. It should be fun to look at, right?... Icould've made that Mrs. Doubtfire logo in Google Docs in like 10 minutes."
I completely agree with everything single thing you note here. I wish Doubtfire would have made the image of Doubtfire’s back the entire length of the rest of the cover, with a hand reaching up to fix the sideways letters. I also expected the artwork to change between out-of-town and Broadway as most shows usually do, but looks like they’re just taking the lazy route and keeping it the same.
