MUCH better. The show doesn't look like some graffiti musical now. I have NO idea what was up with that original design.

I'm thinking about hiring Riedel to help me advertise my local bagel shop.

To me it seems like they're totally banking on Tom Hanks to sell the play. Shouldn't they advertise something about Nora Ephron? She's pretty damn famous. It looks like a bad headshot and some clip art?

It says on the Marquee "A New York Play by Nora Ephron".

I just learned that one of my former students is in the cast. How nice for him!

Didn't know George C Wolfe was directing. Now I'm more interested.

It reminds me of the SNL DVD cover of his Best of set.

I hope that head shot used is at least in tone with his character in the play. It always kind of bothers me when they use a generic shot of the star in the actual artwork (not on signs on the theatre, but the marquee artwork and playbill). For example, I hope he plays a smiley character prone to wearing ties and not, say, a plucky New York homeless man who grants wishes for runaway children in Central Park.

I hate that too. Like when I saw The Heiress and realized the poster out front was just all of their headshots. Super cheesy.

I know!! I kept saying "that poor unfortunate-looking Jessica Chastain. She's SO ugly and homely. No way a man will ever love her with THAT face!"

I love that there is still the billboard for Anything Goes still up between the Broadhurst and the Majestic.

Here's a photo of the real Mike McAlary, his character in the play, The photo is from the Daily News, after he won a Pulitzer for his coverage of the Abner Louima case. And yes, he was a suit and tie wearer.

I didn't say she was ugly? Just saying why couldn't they pic a different picture. Not her headshot?

No no, I wasn't saying YOU called her ugly. I was just trying to say that she is INSANELY gorgeous and it seems so dumb to have her gorgeous headshot in the artwork for a show where the character is constantly called ugly. It was also what kept me from loving her performance. She was good, but I found it almost laughable whenever a character called her plain looking, no matter what awful wig you put on her.
