Playbill vs. Broadway.com vs. TheaterMania.com photo quality question

This may be a stupid question, but...

Has anyone ever noticed that the photos on Playbill.com don't look very good? I was just looking at the BOY FROM OZ first day of rehearsal pics and they looked so much better on Broadway.com yesterday. Is it just me? Theatermania.com also does a terrific job with their photo quality. Is playbill doing something wrong?

I never look at the Playbill pics because I hate how you have to open each one separately in different windows. I like how Theatermania does it all on one page. Broadway.com's probably do look the best, but you have to click a lot to see them all!

Have you ever seen Playbill's photographer? That might explain it :)

OUCH. What did Aubrey Reuben ever do to you?

I don't know him, but I've heard a LOT of stories about him and his galpals!!! But he's a good photographer.

Sorry--never done anything to me. It was just age discrimination. I take it back!

For my money, no one does photos like Broadway.com. Theatermania is the easiest to get to, but Broadway.com's are always the most star-studded.

Broadway.com does great photos!

Yes indeed Carrie they do seem to favor Miss. Winokur. Either that or she's got an incredible publicist. Updated On: 7/22/03 at 01:36 PM

That was so important, you had to say it twice!

Everything I say is THAT important! Just kidding Duane, it was a slip of the keys.

I could not find the BOY FROM OZ pix at Theatremania, but the Playbill and Broadway.com photos look just the same to me in quality. It’s the format that’s different. Am I missing something?

Yeah, I think you're missing something. If I pasted them side by side, you'd see... How do you insert pics in messages anyway?!?

I think that may be a violation of the copywrite laws and we wouldn't want to get Rob in trouble. But that would be interesting to see side by side.
