Aha! I was wondering why it was so plain compared to what they've been doing all year! Nice throwback for their second-to-last month. 

As far as when it will appear, Playbill cover updates usually align with the beginning of a new month because that's also when the magazine component changes. I would expect to see all of the updated covers for currently running shows to appear when November Playbills begin being distributed.

plenty of new covers just unveiled. I’m on my phone, so if someone wants to go embed the photos in a reply, that would be great!

That new Moulin Rouge! Playbill... c'est magnifique.

Moulin Rouge looks GREAT! Definitely better than their current one! 

The Jinx Monsoon Chicago cover is good, but I think Chicago has done better before

What is the actual **** is the Pictures from home Playbill. Those are just their actual headshots! They didn't even take new photos! It's SO weird!!!

I guess you could say that they’re pictures from home…

I’ll see myself out.

Pictures From Home is the absolute worst advertising creative campaign of the season, right behind Ohio State Murders and 2nd Stage. Just absolutely abysmal stuff.

Someone on Reddit found this buried somewhere in Playbill.com

Looks like it is now included in the Playbill Covers article link a few posts ago. Probably waited until today's unveiling to include it!

That's so interesting that they retroactively added it!

Easily one of the best covers of the season. Just gorgeous. The only one I can really think of that's better is Leopoldstadt.

This is really the season of "we have to put our actors on the cover, otherwise no one will know who's in this show!"

It's all about social engagement. With the dozens of of people each night who snap pics for social media, producers want to have the best "advertisement" for their show as possible.

No real surprises here, but glad to see them nonetheless.

I'm glad they included the skull on Fat Ham. They've used it in some promotional materials, but not with the logo like that. 

I think Thanksgiving Play might be my favorite of the bunch with Camelot close behind it. 

White Girl in Danger feels like the type of show that will get a total redesign if it ever goes to Broadway.

I like the DANCIN cover.

The art for Camelot isn't my favourite of Lincoln Centre's. I feel like if the font colour of the title was changed to another colour, or the tree was missing IDK. There is something that throws me off. All the other ones look great!

I agree about Camelot. I don’t like the font. I do like Arthur in the tree and I do like the castle but I don’t like them both together. I kind of wish the art just focused on the castle and it was on the ground instead of floating on a cloud? I think?

Camelot really is terrible. I think someone on the other thread said it was giving "paint and sip"  and I can't unsee that now. It's so rudimentary and muddled in such unattractive colors. 

The Thanksgiving Play and Life of Pi do a neat job of expressing what those shows are about. It can be done.

Not fond of this one.  IMHO they should have used the original teaser artwork
