So who's going?

We're going and we have great seats. This cast should really knock this out of the park. When you see a cast listed and 75% of the actors could have their name over the title, well, that's pretty rare. I can't wait. Nathan, Holland, the Johns...SRS,JM....everybody!

I did a search and didn't find anything, so I apologize for potentially being reductive, but any news on a Rush/Standing Room?

A former student of mine, Joe Forbrich, is in the cast. Very excited for him.

"The Front Page" was decent in most of its incarnations. My favorite line from the 1930's one was, "He looks like that actor Ralph Bellamy."

I'd like to see this but i'm worried I won't understand the humor.

I love the artwork for this show but I LOVE that playbill. So different!

I love the playbill design, but it doesn't look right with Goodman in a hoodie.

Greasedlightning, why do you think you won't understand this? I've seen His Girl Friday, the movie version and it wasn't hard to understand at all.

You won't have a problem. It is a well-plotted, terrific farce, with great roles. I have seen multiple productions and enjoyed them all. With this cast, if it goes wrong, Jack O'Brian will take all the blame...it won't be the play itself.

I love that Playbill cover. This would actually look great in b/w as well, though hopefully it won't come to that since I heard that this is selling well.

Are my eyes deceiving me or is that not already in Black & White? Hah

You might be right, lol. It looks sepia toned to me in that picture.

I think it's more of sepia/brown tone and white, but not that far from black and white

The "black and white" that a show opts to save money has a black and white playbill.com logo at the bottom of its playbill, which clearly isn't the case here.
