Posted: 1/23/06 at 11:50pmThe new Assassins one was nothing special either, it really said little to nothing about the show.

Posted: 1/24/06 at 1:32amthe new Rent one. *shudder* ew, that's just gross. i also didn't like the one with Drew Lachey shirtless and the green lettering in the background. that one was an eyesore, too.

Posted: 1/24/06 at 1:54ami guess its safe to say that the new 'rent' poster and the 'footloose' poster takes the crown for 'broadways ugliest poster'

Posted: 2/24/06 at 11:04amThe Bernadette GYPSY revival poster! It was so not Gypsy. What were they thinking? Guess they had run out of ideas.

Posted: 2/24/06 at 11:14amI HATE the new Rent poster. The old one fit the show better.

Posted: 2/24/06 at 11:16amI'm not fond of the current one for "Rabbit Hole," since it doesn't show off how beautiful Cynthia Nixon is.

I truly dislike the new RENT poster. It reflects absolutely nothing about the show, the character dynamics or even a clear and appealing design. I have no idea what they thought they were doing.
Likewise the Follies poster. That big "F" does nothing. It's difficult to tell what show it's supposed to represent.
I also find the "Lion King" poster with "primitive" style lion rather blah. They could have done so much more.

Posted: 2/24/06 at 11:58amOkay I am jumping on the bandwagon, I can't stand the new Rent poster. I also didn't care for the one with Joey Fatone either. I also think the Odd Couple and Little Women posters were pretty bad.

I loved the receny GYPSY poster...
I also don't like the current SWEENEY TODD.

Posted: 2/24/06 at 1:26pmI also loved the new Gypsy one. both the plain black and the Bernadette purple one. IMO, it clearly defines the show business theme of the show.

Posted: 2/24/06 at 1:42pmI also think that the WICKED poster is hideous. I liked the original versions better.

Can someone explain to me what the new "Rent now" thing is supposed to mean.
I'd also like to know whats so hideous about the new Wicked poster. They barely changed anything besides removing the cast names.

Sorry, but I got you all beat.
Nothing is worse than the revival of Waiting in the Wings.
