Has anyone ever done a version of The Music Man that takes place in the (pre-Covid) present? Seems like it could work......

I'm sure it was designed to reassure everyone that The Music Man was set at least one hundred years away from 2020.

The series of art work support the premise that this will be a period Americana revival...and I am pleased to go along with that.

Hello again, Scott!

I also love the vintage look.

That's not vintage. That's basic 30 min photoshop. It's the laziest marquee design in recent memory.

From a design perspective- it's extremely busy/hard to read, uninteresting, and the color scheme is awful and exacerbates the other problems. It has NONE of the honest vintage feel of Hello, Dolly's marquee.
I'm confused. Who approved this??

To the poster who wrote that Hugh will have aged out by next year, didn't Norm Lewis play Harold Hill last year at the Kennedy Center? He's 57, by the way.
And Jonah? I know "Jo." That person is definitely NOT Scott Rudin, just an ebullient fan of Broadway, THE MUSIC MAN and Hugh Jackman.

Worry not, Mamaleh
It seems he has trouble recognizing people - he also called someone else "Scott"

Gross. That mess isn't opening in April. And after everything that's happening right now, after artists are fighting to make spaces more equitable and inclusive, and less racist and unsafe, nobody wants to mask up and risk catching Corona to watch that many White people do anything..... Do Better!!!!!!!

Based on the ticket sales, I think you're wrong.

You've added a true sense of excitement! Seeing those early signs that Broadway may awaken in the not too distant future is already a gift formany us !"
now and then...

You can dislike the Music Man key art, and you can think it won't help sell tickets, but I don't think you can accurately say it is lazy design. Rudin uses an agency in LA to create his key art (and then it used to get passed off to SpotCo, who knows who he's using now.) But that agency and his key art had less many movies to getting Oscars and many shows to getting Tonys, so like it or not, it seems to be working for him.
