Plan to see this. More excited for this than Hello Dolly.

Same here!

If anyone has more marquee pictures, please post them here...thanks.

No one took any pictures?

Passed by today, that is really all that's up so far. The Illusionists poster is still up where the Sunset Blvd. one will go.

I'll be going into the city on Monday or Tuesday afternoon, will definitely take some photos. Very excited for this.

What is with these people??? I mean how did they not have this up already? If anything they should've had it up Dec 31 as the Illusionists closed that day. With all the Times Sq coverage that would've been great advertising

Putting up a new marquee with millions lining the streets for New Years.
Yeah...real feasible.
Also, it closed January 1st

Yes, chernjam, I'm not sure if a New Year's marquee change would've been logistically feasible—but it's now two weeks since New Year's. I can't wrap my head around why they would forsake any precious moment with foot traffic advertising.

Thanks for the responses, and I agree with the user that says that that space should have been used for advertisement. Silly producers!!!
Posted: 1/28/17 at 12:41am
Previews start in days and still its not up?
Posted: 1/29/17 at 12:29am
Still not up...it shows some show that already closed. Are these producers crazy?!
Posted: 1/29/17 at 12:34am
chernjam, feel free to post the pictures I sent you, I don't know how! LOL

they were stupid enough to bring it to Bway and expect it to sell out ala Hello Dolly.

Some nice photos of the set during tech and the Palace doors dressed up.

broadwayguy91 - I didn't hear any of the producers saying they were trying to beat Hello Dolly... I for one couldn't care less about Hello Dolly, and can't wait to see Sunset a week from today. So perhaps it's just different strokes for different folks and you can just leave it at that?
Posted: 1/29/17 at 2:39pm
I'm super excited to see this! Hopefully they announce a rush. And that's more set then I was expecting!
Posted: 1/29/17 at 6:36pm
I am so beyond excited for this. I never in my life expected to be able to see Glenn Close in one of my favorite musicals 20 years after she did it orginally. I absolutely love the set and the fact that it looks like a soundstage!!

Walked by again today, and they STILL have The Illusionists sign up!! At this point, part of me feels like they may not utilize this sign and just wait for another show to buy out the space.

There's no way ALW is walking in that theatre on Opening Night with "The Illusionists" marquee above it... especially when this is a historic moment for him - 4 shows on Broadway
Posted: 1/30/17 at 2:05am
BUT ALW has been going to the theatre for rehearsals, interviews, press, etc...and The Illusionist is still up there!
PS: That picture looks amazing!

True muscle - but Opening Night is a whole other beast. No way he's going to have his friends and relatives, producers, celebrities walk into a theatre without the proper marquee. I'm wondering if there was some mistake or something with it... Just way too weird for it to be taking this long, especially since the rest of the front was already done

It's really not that strange. Im fairly certain that that space is not owned by the theatre, nor does the show have any requirement to advertise there.
