Tony Awards Playbill Cover - Could it BE any Uglier?

No, no, I don't think it possibly could. I wish I could say this was a gag cover but the same artwork is all over the Tony Awards website. I imagine they got it off some stock image website for cheap. Surely they didn't pay someone to come up with this poorly executed rip off of the Chorus Line art.

Not sure if I've added the image correctly, in case it doesn't show up, here's the link.

I still don't get why it's black & white. Looks so cheap.

If they were to change how "Tony Awards" was written, I think it would be very nice. Except for that I like it. Apparently I'm the only one.

If this was the 1970's or 1980's, I can see it being a little better, but its not. I loved the artwork for the 60th Tony Awards seen here

That is so ugly and cheap.

Maybe even they realized this was a crappy, crappy season and just didn't care.

It looks like the poster for the local high school production of A CHORUS LINE.

The light reminds me of a desk lamp.

I dont hate it. however, i wish they were in costumes from various shows (either the nominated ones or famous past winners.)
