Pride Playbills are rolling out!

ANASTASIA already switched to black and white? Seems like a cheap move. It's not like they aren't making money.

Is it possible that they just went to black & white to emphasize the pride header?

I'll also be bummed if it's permanent. If the change is forever, it seems like a cheap move like others said. Also don't get why Waitress is in black & white either. Both are making hand over fist money

I hope The Playbill Store will sell the pride playbills like the last few years, because I would love to get my hands on the Waitress one!

Most of the B&W designs look terrible. Anastasia's is particularly unfortunate.

The waitress one does look really well with it! I'm not sure why it is not part of that slideshow anymore, but before they included the picture of what the Betsy playbill will look like with the pride playbill. I'm sad they are going back to black and white once Sara leaves, it would look really good in color.

I screenshotted it from earlier here it is:

Any show at the New Amsterdam uses Showbill, because it allows Disney to control what ads are in the program.

I believe it's because it already has a white background.

"...no

Haha there we go! Totally cool-

I think it's black and white because they know they'll be taking a major hit in sales once SB leaves... I don't know how much longer it'll stay open.

I hope Anastasia goes back to the color Playbill. Other than that, it's amazing how much the rainbow cheers up almost all of these shows. Even the ones that seem inappropriate (1984, Indecent, etc.). Great Comet is the only show I'm for sure seeing in June and I can't wait to get that Playbill. Like Miss Saigon, it's already a fantastic cover but it looks even better.

I know it won't happen obviously but some of these shows would look better if they just kept the pride header. (Come From Away, War Paint, Groundhog Day, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

Every time I've just gone up to the box office to ask for a Playbill they've given me one.
