I think this is one of Playbill's recurring columns-- they post info and pics whenever a new marquee goes up on Broadway. The term itself refers to the projected value of a piece before it's released to the public.
On a tangent, does the Barefoot marquee remind anyone else of Sweet Charity?

Haha, yes, it does!
(It also reminds me a bit of "Springtime for Hitler.")

Posted: 1/2/06 at 10:35amIt's a veyr ugly marquee and someone's skewed idea of what something from the 1960's should look like. Even the original logo wasn't that corny. Just an ugly, ugly graphic. Very amateurish. My 3 year old niece could have come up with a better logo.

Have her do one and then you should post it. :)
All it reminds me of is the crappy production we did my Freshman year in High School...Now I can't stand to watch any performace of BFitP.

I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

And Starbucks will use the words 'large' and 'small', not pretentious crap like grande and tall.
