That's it? That is the same playbill that the show had when it first opened, before it went to black and white.

I assumed that the closing night playbill would be in color. I just thought that they would use a new unique cover art for the closing. I guess not.

I don't think they do final performance stickers. But that is a terrible cover.

Could they maybe be using the old cover as a place holder? I mean is there a chance that they aren't going to release the cover art on their website until after the closing night performance?

It still boggles my mind that the are not doing anything creative for the closing night playbill. That they are just using the original playbill cover art for this show.

No, read the description. It says it is a replica of the opening night playbill.

They're using a cover that was retired almost 10 years ago.

Why bother with a cover of people that aren't even the show anymore. I say redo it with the current cast.

"...and a special eight page section inside the Playbill is packed full of highlights of Rent's Broadway run."

I bet the opening night Playbill didn't have that.

Well duh..... All long running closing playbills have the 8 pages.

It was a joke. I was just commenting on the fact that you're all being so rude about it.
It's a Playbill. If you don't like it, you don't have to get it.

It's representing the show - if you want memorabilia from Closing Night, this is it. You don't have to get it.

I think it is Kinda cool to reprint the original cover art for the closing performance. Its sentimental and I have to say that I think it is a good choice.

You think this is uninspired? They're using press reels of people who aren't even in the show anymore for crying out loud.

That's really good. I would like them to put something on it besides Final Performance. I like the "Changed Broadway..." but they need something else.

I have a feeling that we'll be seeing more and more people get worked up within the next week....

I highly doubt that that was the real cover. It's probably just something they put up to say that it was rent. It is on sale for pre-order.
