They're not gone yet. The Playbill cover for Shuffle Along will remain the same until the month of April.
Playbills do not change their cover overnight. It is a monthly cycle. "
I am well aware that it is a monthly cycle. I also know that if a production needs a change made, it is made and the remaining Playbills they don't want used go away. It may not be overnight, but it can happen within the month. I have seen it happen.

Bleed or no bleed, this is a design choice and you're wrong if you think otherwise.
until there is an OFFICIAL STATEMENT from playbill, i disagree. you are not the arbiter of what is wrong or right. you do not have exclusive access to playbill. i will wait to hear from them.
also... do you think im an idiot just because i dont type perfectly? i FULLY understand the design difference between bleed and no bleed. i worked in the printing business. by its very nature, a design will change when it switches from bleed to no bleed -- or vice versa. MY POINT was simply that the reason they switched to no bleed some years ago was not because of a design choice. it was because of economics. talk to anyone at playbill about that if you need confirmation. as a result of that switch, however, the previous "vintage" designs you so love became obsolete.
at the end of the day, SOMEONE is footing the bill for the higher printing costs and it's not a few thousand dollars. it's easily 10k+ per week to print all these playbills with bleed. just surprising to me that they would add such an unnecessary expense to their weekly operating costs (or however they budget the printing of playbills).

i'm aware PT. just surprising to me that for a man so ruthlessly capitalistic and greedy, he'd be incurring this added expense. but you are right. whatever Rudin wants, Rudin gets!

It's fan-made.

Thanks, I was trying to remember if Rudin was a producer and I had forgotten. Love it, though

I don't really care if he is a difficult man to work with; what Scott Rudin does share with David Merrick is strong artistic taste. In this age of 800 line producers above the title, who have no business making decisions about anything creative, we should be very happy that Rudin is so active on Broadway.

Most assistants last 3-4 weeks working for Rudin.
He's been successful in every platform, being an EGOT winner. That said, working for him is a nightmare.

In total agreement. I've heard he's a nightmare to work for. But he has consistently produced extremely interesting, ambitious material.

^^^ yeah... but at what cost? at the expense of hundreds of innocent interns, assistants, etc.

Unfortunately, its the trade mark of a lot of highly successful creative people to also not be very nice. These innocent interns and assistants, at this point, surely know what they are getting themselves into when they sign on for the job. If you don't google the reputation of your potential employer, before accepting the job, you are a fool.

I like these. Humans and Blackbird playbills are evocative and memorable.

A question....just saw The Humans. Was the Playbill the same off-Broadway or did it have the houses on it?

The off Broadway Humans was different, it had a spiral staircase.

Thanks 10086. I was reminded tonight by a friend that I have one that he gave me when he saw it. I just have to find it!
