It's really cool - I am really looking forward to seeing this show.
Thanks for sharing!

This is one of the best show logos I've seen in such a long time!
I hope this is released as a poster! Cuz it's screaming at me to put it on my wall along with Grindhouse, Rocky Horror and Spring Awakening!
I'm seriously in love with it :)
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
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"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

Aww. I'd already grown attatched to the La Jolla Playhouse art work. Though, the actual font was different in the newspaper ads.

The La Jolla one is boring. It's just a photograph. And it looks like it's for a movie.
And it's all black.
There's no comparison.

I definitely get a Rebel Without A Cause vibe but it's very fitting for this show...except no one named Plato gets shot***.

Posted: 1/29/08 at 9:05pmOh, I love it! It's just perfectly retro. I will defiantly have to get this poster to put up on my wall!

Posted: 1/29/08 at 9:42pmIt used to be blue, with a picture of James, and him shedding a single kind of sparkly blue tear.

Posted: 1/29/08 at 10:48pmIt's sure going to sell tickets. Hope the show doesn't go the way of Urban Cowboy -- great sexy poster, flawed show, short run (UC poster still is on my living room wall -- guess it's going to have a new neighbor).

Eh.
I don't think that the logo is an accurate representation of the show. Cry-Baby isn't a big scary intimidating guy, he is a nice and sweet one!
Also, yellow!!?? There is almost 0 yellow in the production. The show is full of blues and greens similar to the La Jolla logo. I just think the yellow is kind of ugly.
But I do LOVE Harriet in the background.

Neddy,
The poster doesn't have to match the set at all.
I like it. I love how they made it look like an old 50's movie poster.

Posted: 1/30/08 at 12:09amThe logo just has to sell the show, not please the people who have already seen the show.

I think the poster is an inaccurate representation of the show.
And I have talked to about a dozen other people today who saw the show and the poster and none of them liked it.
And Winston, where did I say that the set was blue and green? The set is actually a whole bunch of colors. But the proscenium around it and the floor was painted light blue/green.
Edit: And, what parent is going to take their kid to see a show that looks like a giant attacking a bunch of people who look terrified of him?

Posted: 1/30/08 at 12:12amI actually really like the La Jolla one. It seems innovative and fresh, but still period specific. And I like that they didn't have to add the tagline " :A New Musical!" which just tends to destroy any dramatic value the show had. But the new one is okay. I just don't see it standing out in the busy Times Square, but maybe it will look different up on a marquee.

Compared to other recent posters, it looks amazing.
By itself, I'm not really impressed. It looks too ribald. Ribald isn't bad, but it's turning me off a little bit.
PLEASE! Do not post anything negative or dramatic! DidYouReallyHearMe has LOST the ability to ignore such posts and he will comment! Please, help him.
