Posted: 6/12/07 at 12:12pmI just figured that they do almost all in colour now, except for the older shows that were in b&w who just stay in B&w.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 12:12pmTrying to think of others....Hairspray is color. Phantom too (well, black but it's the same). The Wedding Singer was still in color at the end of its wrong. Jersey Boys still is, I think.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 12:27pmI think Grey Gardens is actually black and white. It's kind of hard to tell though.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 1:19pmThe Pirate Queen is in color. I am a little surprised that Curtains changed to B&W so quickly. It's too bad that Company, The Drowsy Chaperone, and Grey Gardens all went to B&W -- I really like that type of design where most of the Playbill is a rich, deep color. I guess A Chorus Line is the only current Playbill with that design.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 1:46pmWhy are they switching over to B&W? Was the price of using color ink getting too expensive?

Posted: 6/12/07 at 1:53pmUsually, since they save in the insides being in colour cause every playbill has the same info (the stories, not the cast list) but they have to change the covers, so they would save money having it as just a 2 colour job (black & white logo and yellow header) although the add on the back is in colour, so who knows.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 2:03pmDoes Roundabout usually just do B&W, because both my Apple Tree and 110 Playbills are in B&W?

Roundabout always uses B&W because it saves money.
Shows that switch to black and white usually do so to save money.

A pet peeve of mine is when a logo that only looks good in color. It looks cheap...as if it were xeroxed.
The 2004 Fiddler Revival did a great thing....they simply put the title on the front for the black and white version.
How to properly use its/it's:
Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

Posted: 6/12/07 at 3:11pmI believe that both MTC and Roundabout only use B&W Playbills. Looking at the playbill.com site, it looks like the Grinch and Talk Radio also had B&W Playbills on opening night, which is surprising, especially for the Grinch, as did Radio Golf.
