Sorry if too big.
I kind of like the first one... IDK. What do you think?

Posted: 1/22/10 at 12:40pmIt looks very Mamma Mia-ish but i guess that's its target audience?

I thought they were going for the Sex and the City movie look...
But I really do like it. Better then the Broadway stuff, imo.

Posted: 1/22/10 at 12:49pmI always thought the Sex in the City poster resembled Legally Blonde's poster.

Posted: 1/22/10 at 1:12pmShe looks like a blonde Anita. But I do like the poster, it seems more sophisticated than the original artwork.

The colors remind me of:

Posted: 1/22/10 at 1:19pmThey are both very sparkly and fun, which fits the show well. I like the first one the best.

Oh my god I HATE that Gypsy poster (the text) - did they actually use that and then update it with the better logo? (The use of themed objects for each letter).
Or did they use both simultaneously?
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 1/22/10 at 3:30pmIs it me, or does Sheridan Smith look a bit like Jane Krakowski in those pictures?

Posted: 1/22/10 at 4:29pmhusk_charmer, i agree with you. She does look like Jane a bit.

Posted: 1/22/10 at 4:31pmSheridan Smith is gorgeous, but the fabric of the dress gathers in an unfortunate way that makes her look pregnant in the second shot.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Posted: 1/22/10 at 6:15pmWell luckily the critcs dont agree with you since shes walked away with Raves and have said she looks and feels more like Elle than Witherspoon did.

Posted: 1/23/10 at 9:22amWhy did they use the same bottom half in both pics? All they did was change the head. I don;t like either of them. And it looks like Margot is about to insert something large into her mouth in the first one.

Well considering the fact that the girls consider Margot to be a slut, I think I know what she might be inserting into her mouth. :)

Posted: 1/23/10 at 10:56amDear God, that video of her live performance was hideous. She sharps, she goes flat, she's a bit too old looking for the role (and the yellow hair doesn't help). A mess.
#19West End 'Legally Blonde: the Musical's' New Logo
Posted: 1/23/10 at 11:17amI think it all sounds and looks great. She doesn't look like she's half mentally challenged like the girls who played the part on Broadway. She actually looks and sounds like she could maybe get into Harvard. And the orchestra sounds great as well.

Is it just me or does it sound like Smith is singing the song in a lower key?
Her voice seems much more husky than any of the previous women to play the role.

I like the first one better but I agree, very Mamma Miaish... not sure how I feel.
I loathe the bottom of Sheridan's dress though, I hate seeing the under cloth (I think it's called?)
