^Did Memphis play at TheatreWorks prior to Broadway? I don't remember that. The artwork for the La Jolla Playhouse run was similar to the artwork used on Broadway, but executed differently.

FYI, that Bring It On image wasn't the pre-opening artwork. That version was designed to have the lights behind it (which is considered the National Tour art) and that one with the white background is a bastardization of it. The original artwork used by Bring It On in Atlanta is above

I love this thread! I really like the WICKED art with Elphaba bent over the rose held by the Strawman, though it does give away that part of the story. Also, I prefer the SISTER ACT logo with the mic and cross rather than the art eventually used on Broadway!

(Sorry this one is so small...it was the only one I could find. A very, very, very bizarre CGI-rendered image of Gugino, Schrieber, and Dennehy from the Goodman Theater run of DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS):

Wow, I love the Light in the Piazza one! And those Next to Normal ones are really bizarre...

That BRIEF ENCOUNTER artwork is gorgeous.

Some other London transfers I've found:

From the Menier Chocolate Factory






I'm not sure if JERUSALEM played the Royal Court with this artwork but this is the cover of their published version of the script:


And lastly, in the National's inimitable style

That NT Pillowman cover is just creepy and excellent.

Some of those Miss Saigon posters are downright offensive. I can't believe they were ever considered.

They may just be preliminary designs; probably not seriously considered. While some are offensive, I love seeing the progression to the final product, though.

Those are all in the "making of" video. I felt the same way.

I love the LuPone Gypsy art that Wickedrocks posted. I've seen that art on a shirt before. I would love to have that shirt.
