"And the new artwork has put it back on the radar of at least 30 posters here on BWW (who took the time to comment on it). Sounds like it's doing it's job."
true, but I'm pretty sure the reason they changed the artwork was to draw people in, create positive reactions and get people interested and excited for the show again. Have people say "Oh hey look a new poster for POTO. Looks great, I'd like to go back and check the show out again" or "Oh, POTO! We haven't seen that yet after all these years and I just noticed this new poster blah blah let's go."
The general feeling for this new artwork (on this thread atleast) is that, quite frankly, it sucks.
I haven't looked at this thread in awhile, and looking back at the new poster it seems even more ridiculous to me. The whole switching to a singular title kinda bugs me a little and seems a bit pompous (though after 20 years they have the right) but what kills it is the Phantom himself, he makes me want to laugh, coming out of the mist with that blank look on his face (which is all you can see of him, why just a cut out of his face?)...it's a joke.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott
