Mikem: I got that poster on closing night, actually. I have one of the other cast list posters, but I've had it a while. We were in the city in December and it was the first time I had seen that style. Granted, I hadn't been there since August.
And the poster is signed by Marin Mazzie, Jason Danieley, Meghann Fahy, Kyle Dean Massey, Adam Chanler-Berat, Louis Hobson, Michael Berry, MacKenzie Mauzy, and Brian Crum!
I don't think I have enough wall space for a full poster wall like some posters, but I'm impressed by everyone's collections. Aside from the three posters (and album cover) I mentioned earlier, I have since obtained a Scottsboro Boys program from the Vineyard signed by John Kander (I met him at the closing show in the lobby. A really humble, nice man.); a Sondheim on Sondheim poster autographed by the full cast, including the great Barbara Cook (Everyone must know about my adoration for Ms. Cook by now); a Next to Normal poster signed by the incredible second company of the Broadway production (Mazzie, Danieley, etc.); a Scottsboro Boys Playbill signed by the full cast from the Broadway run and something very special...
I wrote Jerry Bock a fanletter some time back, and after thinking he never received it or it got lost in the mail, a rather large yellow package showed up in my mailbox one day. I had always wondered whether or not a full vocal score of She Loves Me (my favorite Bock and Harnick show) had been published. Maybe it was long out of print, like many vocal scores. Alas, Jerry Bock couldn't find a copy for me, but he did autograph (on the cover) a copy of the vocal selections for me, and wrote me a very lovely note on a post-it. Needless to say, I was floored. I immediately framed the book (with the post-it attached to it) and hung it up in a prominent place. I was very saddened by the news of Jerry Bock's passing only about a month after I received his generous package. In tribute to the great composer, I hung this special piece in an even MORE prominent place.
Since today is Jerry's memorial, which I unfortunately could not attend, I figured I'd share this story about a great composer and a generous man.
Sorry for the thread-jack! Keep sharing your poster walls. They'e great!
There are many ways, but I just drop all my pics in photobucket and then post the direct links in the body of the reply (as opposed to using the optional link slot).
I love that you have so many flops on your wall castlestreet. I've always adored the Legs Diamond artwork.
I must say though (and this is not meant as a reflection on you personally) that Late Nite Comic has the ugliest artwork I have ever seen for a musical.
I'm really shocked that no one has any ACL windowcards up.
I don't have wallspace to hang anything (literally, my room is covered with bookshelves, with the exceptionof the doors and window), but still...someone has to have one.
^ I think in terms of the Broadway window cards, most people use the phrases interchangeably. I say window card out of habit, since that's what I was always told they were called. The 14x22 show 'posters', which are usually printed on card stock. That kind of makes it known that they're different from a traditional roll-up poster you might get for a film.
WSStory, Oh how I love your Broadway poster wall! XD
I'm REALLY impressed by how the wall was painted. Razor sharp lines and no blotches or spots! I bet the efficient painter is someone close to you because some random Joe surely wouldn't have invested the skill and love necessary for such a perfectly painted wall!
Oh, that wall is GLORIOUS. The posters are pretty nifty, too.
I'd like to know the identity of this artist painter. Who is this mysterious GIFT. Do tell. LOL!!!!
