LOVE. IT.

Yeah, that's pretty perfect. Can't wait to see what this show actually entails.
Posted: 8/26/15 at 1:29pm
Love it too.
This is beyond a doubt the show I'm most excited about this season.

Ooh that cast though! I didn't realize it wasn't opening til April 21, that's so far away!

I didn't notice at first that the girl "dances" when you mouse over her! Terrific design.
Posted: 8/26/15 at 2:21pm
Love it. They're doing a great job at establishing a bit of background with their design.

Love the artwork ....really captures the feel of the period.....the only odd thing about it is that the woman pictured is Ann Pennington, who was a big star for Ziegfeld, but she was not in any of the Shuffle Along productions...I would have thought they would have used an image of a performer who was actually in Shuffle Along

I was thinking the same thing. My first thought was that it was weird they used somebody white, but it sure is pretty and quite captivating artwork. Maybe Ann is a character in the show? Antagonist?

That is pretty terrific, indeed! And yes, that cast is amazing. I'm not sure my account will survive this season.

I guess it's possible she's a character in the show. She was the first to perform the Black Bottom dance on Broadway in the George White Scandals of 1926 which made the dance a nationwide phenomenon...of course, the dance had originated in the Harlem musical Dinah in 1924, but it took Pennington's version to bring it to the mass (white) audience....

Very nice indeed!

this is not going to sell no one good in it (sarcasm)

This week's New Yorker had the same artwork in a 2 page ad. I'm intrigued!

Is this a limited run or something? Brian Stokes Mitchell is performing at the Walt Disney Concert Hall on February 6, 2016, in LA. Just wondering? Or maybe it is the norm for actors to take a flight across the country then return back. I don't want to buy tickets then, it'd be cancelled later.

Previews don't start until March. BSM will just take time of from rehearsal for the show.
Posted: 8/28/15 at 8:22pm
This is FABULOUS.
Posted: 8/28/15 at 9:32pm
Well, I will throw this out There. Could this possibly be HAMILTON's compstition at the Tony's? Granted, we have not seen it yet but it has all of the ingredients for a killer show.
George C Wolfe could direct traffic and I would pay to see it!

I absolutely love the design, but a friend brought up an issue:
why is every single name on this poster African American, including the song and book writers, yet they decided to put a white woman in the center? I realize the woman, Ann Pennington is famous for popularizing the Black bottom, an African American dance style of the day, but c'mon.....They could have put a black woman from the vaudeville days on the poster........
