I wish The Understudy's was in color. Everything sort of blends together.
In the Next Room's is actually pretty hilarious.

Posted: 10/3/09 at 4:05pmI love the hand-drawn LCT posters/Playbill covers. They're always really beautifully drawn and colored. Well...mostly always. But the IN THE NEXT ROOM one is really nice. And funny.

Posted: 10/3/09 at 4:05pmthe artwork for "In the Next Room" is beautiful! I would say either that, Finian's Rainbow or Oleanna has the best artwork.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 10/4/09 at 12:11pmStill hate the Ragtime art. It looks like a poorly-written history book.

Posted: 10/4/09 at 12:27pmI think it's growing on me. Still not crazy about the bedazzled font though.

Posted: 10/4/09 at 4:39pmLove RAGTIME's. FELA!'s is kinda blah. Could've used even more colors in the background.
#59re: Playbill covers for the 2009-2010 season
Posted: 10/4/09 at 4:41pmI like Ragtime's, but it's honestly a little too busy for me. I wonder how it'll transfer to B&W, though.

Posted: 10/16/09 at 11:44pmI think Ragtime's art works wonderfully as a poster. I'd quite like it if it were large enough to see each individual object. As a Playbill, I wish that it maybe stopped at the Statue of Liberty or something like that. It's just too busy.

I really like the Two Unrelated Plays artwork.
And I don't think the Ragtime art is as hideous as others think it is...although in that NY Times photo slideshow a while back there were nicer-looking options for their artwork that they didn't use.

Posted: 11/1/09 at 1:41amOh, and why is BIRDIE doing color Playbills now? I saw a group of people walking the other day holding color BIRDIE Playbills.

BIRDIE's actually had color Playbills for a while now. Probably since the last few preview performances. Since opening, Im sure... Does anyone know what New Worlds' LOVE CHiiLD looks like? I'm anxious!

Posted: 11/3/09 at 2:04pmIs the Next To Normal Playbill is in color? or did it go to black and white?

I saw BIRDIE the day after it opened and I didn't even think about it at the time, but I'm pretty sure my Playbill was color.
I really wish RACE had a color Playbill. That dress is so dramatic and eyecatching on the marquee.

Posted: 11/3/09 at 7:25pmI wonder if they'll change the design when Next to Normal goes B&W.

Posted: 11/3/09 at 7:31pmI doubt it. But it could very well just stay in color for the rest of the run. I mean, the show opened against the odds in terms of financial success and start its run with color Playbills. Once it recoups, which I'm hearing should be soon, they'll probably just stick with color. But if they did go B&W, I doubt they'd change the design.
