@PlayItAgain Wow... lol. I feel SO stupid! It didn't even register what the play was about! I've read the script several times and just about a month ago, too. I really need to get back to school because summer is ruining me. :P haha.
Theatre is not just some petty extracurricular activity I do in my spare time. It is my life, it is my passion, it is who I am. Nothing and no one can change that or take it away from me. All the world is MY stage.

I know people complain about it all the time and it's probably annoying, but I don't like how all my Playbills are black and white now. It's sort of depressing to start at the beginning in color and work your way back to all these dull covers.

"Oh my god! One more reason for me to not see Bring it On!"

So you are honestly saying that you would avoid seeing a show simply because you don't like the Playbill.

We have people willing to pay over $100 to see a show just to get the new playbill when they could order one on line, and then we have people who will honestly not go see a show because of the cover of the playbill....

Since the most iconic Chaplin footage is in black and white, this one actually makes sense to put in black and white!

Off title topic---but I just (out of curiosity) counted my 1st time playbills (I don't keep them for the 2nd---or (in some cases)--23rd time, I've seen the show). I now have 87 playbills--yikes---I think I have a problem! :)

I prefer the Black/White?Greyscale Chaplin logo to the show's color one big time. It's looks so much better! And, the black and white EVITA Playbill almost looks like a throwback to the original production.

While I don't usually like comments like these (and I say this with a little sense of humor as well), but Annie's graphic design person should be fired! That logo is terrible. It looks like a bad Web 2.0 job done on a mac computer in Pages. I thought their horrible and unprofessional looking website & logo was just the pre-site/pre-logo to put up before the real one would debut closer to opening, but this is just ugly and tacky.

^ Um, have you seen the original? It's just a throwback. I think it looks a little better than the awkward pose Annie has in the original logo.

The Drood Playbill would be beautiful in color.

Scandalous looks like an ABC Sitcom Poster....

A new version of THE HEIRESS just went up. PlaybillVault says it's the opening night Playbill, but it's the one that shows up in the show listing (and the official Facebook page posted it as their Playbill cover).



Personally, I love it.
