The "Promises, Promises" Poster is GREAT. — Page 2

It's good. I'm not crazy about it, but I like it. I just don't get why they can make Kristin look younger, yet Sean Hayes has never looked older. It's like he looks overly airbrushed and not airbrushed enough all at the same time. If you're going to give a photo the "carved out of cream cheese" treatment, I think they could have committed a little more.

Good style, though. I think they could have pushed it further, but I have such low standards for Broadway graphic design that nitpicking something good feels wrong.

I think the poster really captures the 1960 feel. And, Sean Hayes is only 4 years older than Jack Lemmon was in The Apartment.

Does anyone know when tickets go on sale? I'm in the UK but over in NYC at the end of June 2010 for a week and really want to book to see this!! I read somewhere they are on sale to American Express holders already but wondered when they'll go on general sale? And where I would book them from? Ticketmaster.com?? Thanks people!

I have to admit that I am not at all familiar with this show, but I really do like the poster.

Was that intentional?

The poster is ok. I like the design, but the photos are rather generic and uninspired.

The poster IS great, to be sure of that. I think that Sean and Kristin will do a fabulous job with this production. I don't see much "Jack McFarland" in the photo since Jack had much shorter hair and was parted down on the opposite side with a little spikey in the front. Sean's hair is longer in this picture and not as layered as his days playing Jack McFarland in Will and Grace.

Both actors are right actors for the right part IMO. Both are professionals and will do wonderfully. The design is of a Period look with the zany 60's style of fonts and color scheme.

Some posters here seem a little bitter, jealous, and/or have some anger over the casting of this project. But this is a free forum of expression to exchange ideas and viewpoints on Broadway projects, etc.

This production seems like it might be heading in the winners direction. The rehearsals have NOT even started much less the preview shows so alot of prejudging going on without intelligent merit or basis of actual seeing the show which has yet to come to the stage, not yet Open Curtain, 1st Act.

I am fully behind this show and hope it succeeds!

If the age of the leading lady were a factor, we would have never seen "The Sound of Music" among others. Most Juliets aren't 13 as the story calls for and few swans are actually dying onstage. Nobody bitched when Kristin Chenoweth played a teenager in Wicked long after she'd been dalying with Aaron Sorkin. From 20 feet away, Kristin will seem to be 21.

It's called ACTING.

"not yet Open Curtain, 1st Act."

WTF?!

PRS, I'm With You on this One! LOL!

P

I think it looks like an ad for Dunkin Donuts.

yeah i know it's an old bump and was looking up the poster. anyway...this reminds me of the Down With Love poster look with Ewan McGregor and Renee Zelwegger. Different poses but same genre.

Insider2, that's what I think everytime I see it! I'm glad someone else does!
