What is going on with Night Music's artwork?? — Page 2

Yes, that is the role that has the greatest potential for a Jessica Boevers in OKLAHOMA curse. We'll think good things.

I still like the two fonts that they chose for the logo. The rest can go.

this is by far my favorite:

"The supporting casts in all his musicals lately seem to be really weak. Its very odd."

Not quite. Gone With the Wind had an extremely strong supporting cast of West End stalwarts (it was just everything else that was weak). He does seem to make commercial concessions, which is why both ALNM and GWtW had reality TV talent show winners in them (playing Ann Egerman and Rhett Butler respectively)


"I liked what they used in conjunction with the LA Opera."

That artwork would be ideal if ALNM were set in France.


"ALL of these are better than that horrendous KC poster from 02."

There was something not quite right about about most of the artwork for the Sondfest at the Kennedy Centre.

And that production of ALNM was one of the least enjoyable I've seen. It was as though Aaron Spelling had produced it when Dynasty was going through its British obsession in the mid-80s.

The current artwork has gone the complete opposite direction in trying to improve previous versions. This is my least favorite of all drafts so far, and this is going to be it, so C'est la vie. Does anyone really think that this show actually will have a problem with markenting? You all seem like this show is going to have to struggle to attract an audience. The opposite is true. This show is going to be a sell-out, so the show art is really insignificant. That being said, I liked the moon, and the Logo in previous drafts. But I do not like the sunset or the treeline in the final version. It looks like a poster for "On Golden Pond" There IS going to be a lake in other versions of this arwork with the sunrise and logo reflecting. My question is, "Who decided to put the title text in white, on top of a yellow sunset?" It's just hard to read from far away. This is "A Little Night Music", not "A Little Dusk Music." I saw this production in London, and I do think it would be important to feature trees in some graphic capacity. It is a big compositional element to the scenic design of the production. There won't be other versions of this.

The current poster (last one shown) doesn't work at all with the warm glow around it. It makes the lettering look like a neon sign floating above a woodsy background.

It might as well be saying "Eat At Joe's" or "Ruby's Bar."

The new one is apparently Nunn's choice, and it is final.

Keaton Whittaker is playing Fredrika.

I'm so excited for this! Still no cheaper tickets though? Guess my ass will be up in the balcony!

CURRENT MARQUEE


LOOKS REMARKABLY SIMILAR TO CURRENT FANTASTICKS

It's growing on me! It looks nice here.

Well, in defense of that choice (barely), there are a lot of pine trees in Sweden. Having driven through Sweden myself. They're everywhere.

Still, it's not what one associates with this show ...
