Side Show Artwork

It's great! @themonkeybananaking

[CATSNYrevival]

It's better than the design the pros came up with.

[themonkeybananaking]

Wow, thanks guys! Also, CATSNYrevival here's my version of a cast recording cover, even though jacobsnchz14 posted a really nice one, that sorta looks like it. Enjoy.

[Musical Master]

That's amazing work. You should work in the poster/logo department.

[Mr. Nowack]

It always amazes me when the fine people of BroadwayWorld are able to create poster art so vastly superior to the professional versions. They look great, and so much better!

themonkeybananaking, wow that is very impressive work. The "O" still drives me crazy, though.

[CATSNYrevival]

The majority of the letters are heavier on the left side than they are on the right side. It's just the type set they chose. The shape of the "O" probably wasn't even altered. It's just the style.

The producers are doing exactly what they should be with this show. The artwork is mainstream, bright, but with a hint of seriousness in the expressions of the sisters.

To be honest, I think the whole look is very confident and iconic. It projects being a hit.

that image is going to be on bus shelters and billboards. As much as I like what themonkeybananaking came up with, sepia toned artwork with multiple images to absorb wouldn't make anywhere near the impression that the official art does.

[CATSNYrevival]

I'm not arguing that their artwork isn't in their best interest. It's certainly Broadway and it may attract the eye, but it doesn't represent what the show actually is and their effort to hide the circus element is obvious and absurd given the popularity of Pippin.

[Up In One]

^ Circus elements? SideShow is character driven, folks who gravitated to Pippin because of the circus acts would be sorely disappointed if they went to SideShow for side show acts.

[GoSmileLaughCryClap]

They're distilling it down to the two sisters. Period. And I'm glad you agree that the artwork is in the shows best interest.

Has Les Mis been misleading the public for 25 years using Cosette as its trademark? Do people think they're going to see the French Annie?

[Liza's Headband]

...but with a hint of seriousness in the expressions of the sisters.

Really? You can pick that up with only less-than-half of their faces appearing in the artwork?

[GoSmileLaughCryClap]

Definitely. Put the two symmetrical sides together and you have single face But yes, though it is subtle, they're expressions are at best pensive. They're clearly not glorying from the footlights.

higher quality image of the artwork

[Mr. Nowack]

At the higher resolution I must say I like it a bit better. There were parts I missed at first glance, like their melancholy faces and the way they're holding hands.

It's still a bit flashy and bright for my taste, but perhaps I should not have judged it so harshly at first glance.

But that tagline has GOT to go. Anything else but that.
