That's frightening, Besty.

The ad makes me want to dig out my bell bottoms and polyester shirts...

Maybe Pufnstuf will make a special guest appearance in "Applause!"

...or even the Bay City Rollers.

It all made sense, Ben, with the drugs...

Just say no, now.

"Previous decades frighten me"


This one frightens me even more.

What's sad is that it's not only a hideous poster design (color, layout, etc.), it's a TERRIBLE artistic conception of Christine Ebersole. It looks like a bad charicature of Princess Diana (so glad you thought so too, best12bars; I was afraid I was crazy) with the saggiest chest I've seen in recent memory.

It's kind of absolutely awful.

It's one of those Carol Burnett Show "pendulous" Mackie gowns!

Ebersole's face has a very mid-80s airbrushed quality...

Maybe Prince Charles is playing the Len Cariou part.

Its definitely Princess Diana.

Who is playing Eve opposite her Margo? Elton John?

Man, you silly people are neg-ah-tivo today! Can't we just all agree that we like it more than the Mormon Church banner add??

Pufnstuf. Hee, hee. I loved him. Witcheepoo. hee.

edit: For the Diana comparison (I definitely see it), don't you think the just-barely-there roundness in the abdomen would have sent the tabloids into a DIANA: PREGNANT??? madness?

I bet Prince Charles sings better than Lauren Bacall.

Would anyone be willing to show me the No No Nanette one? Now I'm curious.

Thanks!

I think the Nanette artwork is beautiful. It's perfect for the period of the show, and even though it was from a 70's revival, if it were the artwork for the original, no one would have said "boo." What do you guys think the artwork will look like for the new production this summer?

[Flaunt It]

Posted: 1/18/08 at 3:43pm

Here is the Encores logo.. sort of Nanette Overtures.

Why is this thread about two tours that I did back to back in the 70s, Applause and Nanette? Strange.

Thanks so much for posting the No No Nanette art. Much appreciated.
