The new Assassins one was nothing special either, it really said little to nothing about the show.

i guess its safe to say that the new 'rent' poster and the 'footloose' poster takes the crown for 'broadways ugliest poster'

The Bernadette GYPSY revival poster! It was so not Gypsy. What were they thinking? Guess they had run out of ideas.

Oh, JoMarch, you beat me to it. It was the first to come to mind for me too.

I HATE the new Rent poster. The old one fit the show better.

I'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.

59 posts on this thread and 17 of them mention the new Rent artwork.


Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Okay 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.

Little WOmen is one of my favorite musicals, but I thought the poster was horrible!

I 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.

I 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.
