^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):

Yes, but sometimes people have a third deeper layer thats the same as the first. Like pie. Dr. Horrible

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

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

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.
