The other thread had me thinking. What are the ugliest posters created for Broadway? Obviously, Welcome to the Club is a given.

Bridges of Madison County (original red). The show looked so boring to me, and I didn't want to take a chance so I rushed instead. If they had done a better job with the marketing I might have bought a full-price ticket (and if I had time to see it again I would have). The staff looked so cringeworthy walking around in that red merchandise.
The new marketing campaign was a lot better, but far too late to help save the show.

I'm gonna dredge up some from the mega-flops of the '70s. Perhaps these hideous designs contributed to their failures??

This is one that I kinda like but kinda hate at the same time.

Posted: 1/2/15 at 10:40pmI feel the same way about Via Galactica. I think I really like the typography for the title, but that's it.

They must have just gotten new posters at Beautiful. I know that the playbills have had the new design for awhile. I LOVE the new version, and really dislike the older one.
I agree that the original Carrie artwork kicks butt. As for Gentleman's Guide I hated the poster with just the hat, but I love the new one with the piano that advertises the show's Tony win.

Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
