To this one. A real downgrade in my opinion.

Wow that new artwork is a big step down. The old design was so cool. What the heck? Maybe that explains the lack of merchandise at previews thus far.
I like a good rhyme more than a good time

that's awful. YIKES!!
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I can't believe they would replace some of the most inspired artwork in recent memory with that.

WOW. That is a MAJOR downgrade. The artwork was one of the only things this show had going for it.

I think that's a little harsh given the names attached.

Yea. Seriously. Is bwayphreak trying to be funny? I can never tell if people on the internet are trying to be funny.

Yikes. That is bad. It looks like a stock photo and says nothing about the show other than... it may contain dance? I guess?

Having seen the show last night, I stand by my statement. No one in this all star cast stood out to me.

Just saw the show tonight. I'm really glad I grabbed a few extra Playbills before they change the artwork. Anyways, I can't wait for Audra to win her seventh Tony for this. That's all I have to say.
i've got 99 problems and a revival of parade would solve like 94 of them

Really excited to see this. Never seen Audra live and really eager to see how this musical continues to evolve theatrically. Seeing it next Wednesday, and won't be able to see the final product, but will be fun to watch how it's developed.

I'd also love an old Playbill, if anyone kind enough would be willing to get me one.

Scott Rudin changed the Blackbird art during previews too.

To anyone who is going soon, if you could grab an extra playbill, I would love to have one with the original (brilliant) artwork before they change it. If you can help me out send me a PM!

We should create some kind of petition to get the playbill back. But what someone said about this being the year of minimal sets really stuck out to me, especially with next year being the year of lavish and grand sets. We will have Comet, Chocolate Factory, Singing in the Rain and perhaps Frozen.
I appoligise for any spelling mistakes. I may be on my mobile. Clumsy fingers and small little touchscreen keys don't mixx. I try to spellcheck, but I may miss something.

WHy would they care....I don't think a Playbill cover deters or sells tickets.
Gleek...I'm going next weekend, I'll try to grab an extra if you don't get a sooner offer.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I just picked up a "modified rush" for tonight in Orch Row E on the extreme side. Has anyone sat here for this show in the last few days? The guy at the box office, who was very helpful, said the view is very good, so I'm hoping so.

Man, that artwork is godawful. I normally don't care about Playbill covers, but yikes that really does look terrible. The original artwork was beyond stunning too.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

We do have some wonderful set designs to look forward to...

PianoMann what time did you show up for rush and how many people were there? Also how is it modified?

I didn't get into Manhattan until 12:45 and got to the Shuffle Along box office at about 1:15. They had sold out of the $40 general rush tickets early that morning (as I expected they would), but when that happens they sell a "modified rush" ticket, which is $69 on the sides of the Orchestra. I had already tried to rush The Humans and Blackbird unsuccessfully, so I took this option. The man at the box office told me these seats was better than the general rush, so we'll see!
Tickets From $59
Tickets From $71
Tickets From $71
Tickets From $95
