Wicked UK Site Up! *new stuff*

yayy

Well, we should all thank them for putting up photographs of all the different casts - sparing us all from the many:

"OMG!! IDINA'S PICS R UP ON THE LONDAN SITEE - THAT MEANS SHE"S OPENING THE SHOW WITH CHENO!!!!!!! OMG!!!!"

posts that inevitably would have followed.

Not in London. All their logos are tacky.

Mr.Kringas: I like the way your brain works. Like my professor says: "You're not entitled to an opinion. You're entitled to an informed opinion." UK has produced several amazing logos. Perhaps the most recognizable in history (considering the list you provided).

I like the UK Wicked logo. Doesn't replace the geniune-ness of the Broadway one, but it's still pretty to me. So we've got some generic faces to the witches, so what? At least London is letting the rest of the world know that they're taking their production seriously and want to have as creative a process as possible. I think we'll see a few more differences in the UK production (not drastic) that will hopefully rekindle a fresh appreciation for the show and to see that there is still plenty of artistic flexibility with the show. If it means starting with a new logo, then who are we to stop them! I'm quite excited.

that site is strange.

Jon: That is David Garrison. He has been the Wizard on the Wicked National Tour for over a year and takes his final bow in the role tomorrow in Pittsburgh.

Wow, the Brits on this message board are TOUCHY. Fine - all the home grown British shows have genius art work, but the poster designs for the American imports are fugly.

What the? That Ragtime poster is terrible! Looks like a 10yr old made it on MS Paint. Nasty!

Easier to spot but not easier to make

that RENT one is FUGLY.

The Sound of Music is pretty inexcusable, even for the 1980's...

The Ragtime one changed pretty quickly to a purple background and show images

I don't see anything wrong with Kiss Me Kate or Rent - the latter is certainly better than the recent Broadway version.

My avatar for the upcoming Sunday in the Park... transfer to the Wyndham's - a stunning example of a UK logo (IMO)! I think it was your sweeping generalisation that rather rankled people, though (in a self-defeating statement) I have to agree that the silver Wicked logo is pretty tacky
