I'm talking about photos specifically depicting characters in the show, as the ROCKY photo is clearly supposed to be depicting Rocky and Adrian, but using Drew Sarich and Wietske van Tongeren from the Hamburg cast rather than Andy Karl and Margo Seibert from the Broadway cast. (By "non-cast-members" in the subject line, I meant not from the Broadway cast - i.e. not the people Broadway ticket buyers seeing the logos and ads are going to see on stage.)
I can think of times with painted/drawn/etc. artwork like the MAMMA MIA! logo, which depicts a generic Sophie rather than any specific actress who played the role, but I couldn't recall any example with photos specifically showing people's faces, so I figured someone on here might be able to come up with one.
By the way, I completely understand why they wouldn't want to use Karl and Seibert's faces - they don't want the show's "brand" to be associated with specific actors, they want artwork that can outlast Karl and Seibert's presence in the show, etc. But there still seems to be sort of a weird disconnect that the giant billboard outside the Winter Garden features the faces of two actors not performing inside.
