I walked down 50th Street today and saw that they put the GLORY DAYS sign up..or is it called a marquee?

Wow, they're really marketing the whole youth aspect...
Can anyone say target audience?
Too bad it isn't starting until late April, I was thinking about seeing this.

Posted: 3/28/08 at 6:56pmI have the most bizarre urge to go get a picture taken next to it, and I have no idea why.

Posted: 3/28/08 at 8:19pmIt is hard for my eyes to see the Circle in the Square not be set up for Spelling Bee. Anyways, this looks great and I am looking forward to seeing it.

Winstone, we all get those feelings. I have a photo of my father and I in front of the Majestic in 1961, which at the time was home to "Camelot."
The Maj will always be Camelot to me. The Neil Simon will always be the home of "Annie" (when it was the Alvin, named after the owners Alex Aarons and Vinton Freedley (Al-Vin?). The Richard Rodgers will always have a sign overhead flashing "Whorehouse" (and tourists would show up looking to get laid and being so disappointed to find it's a theater) and The Shubert is "A Chorus Line."

I love the artwork, and the producers were smart by starting the ticket prices low, before it becomes a hit.
All seats are $97.50 and there is a student rush of $26.50.

Posted: 3/29/08 at 2:18amBeing from LA, I've always wondered what exactly is the relationship between the Gershwin and the Circle in the Square? Are they in the same building? Or are they next to each other? I've looked up the street addresses and apparently the Gershwin's on 51st and the Circle in the Square's on 50th, which then makes me wonder why they share a marquee. I'm thoroughly confused.
#12re: They put the GLORY DAYS Sign up
Posted: 3/29/08 at 2:20amThe Circle is below ground. The gershwin is above the parking garage/drive through area seen in the pictures.

I love the artwork.
Munk, it's funny that you posted that image, before I realized that the poster was part of the artwork from the show I asked myself "is that an Andy Warhol painting?"
#15re: They put the GLORY DAYS Sign up
Posted: 3/29/08 at 2:37amI like it a lot.

For me, the Winter Garden will always be...well. Don't make me say it.

Posted: 3/29/08 at 10:49amThere's a full page ad for it in the Times today. I'm trying to figure out why they think "23 year old writers" and "a new American musical" will be a draw.

Posted: 3/29/08 at 10:53amYeah - the tagline is pretty awful. "What happens when two 23-year-olds write a musical about four 20-year-olds?" I don't know, what DOES happen?
#19re: They put the GLORY DAYS Sign up
Posted: 3/29/08 at 10:57amEverybody is the business is trying to figure out how to get yonger people to see theatre. Its a huge problem that producers are facing in theatre across the country. I think the '23yo writers' is trying to appeal to the younger audiences.

Posted: 3/29/08 at 11:46amYou can market to that group all you want, but you're just going to end up with a bunch of people doing student rush and not buying full price tickets.
#21re: They put the GLORY DAYS Sign up
Posted: 3/29/08 at 11:57amRight, but the rush people will get in cheaply, and if the show is good, word of mouth will build and hopefully, people will start digging deeper for tickets. If the reviews are good, then the show can and should take off.

Posted: 3/29/08 at 12:03pmIt's an interesting choice to make something with the word 'glory' in it that looks like you're peering through a little hole.

Posted: 3/29/08 at 12:10pmWell, that's just the Circle's marquee. Get your mind out of the gutter!

I may be wrong, but I think what they are saying happens is:
"A Radiant Look At Growing Up, Fresh And Authentic. A Beaming Source of Energy."
