James MacMullen has created more than 40 posters for Lincoln Center Theater. (He does a lot of theirs, but not all of them -- Women on the Verge and War Horse being recent examples of other poster creators.) If you're a McMullan fan, there is a nice selection of them at the Triton Gallery website under "collections and collectibles," and there are also 2 books collecting his posters.
I really like his work for Light in the Piazza.
I am a little disappointed that the Cabaret Playbill is essentially a copy of the 1998 version. I guess that's not a surprise given that this production is a duplicate of the last one, but I was hoping for some different artwork.

I guess Roundabout is going the Public Theater route and using the same typeface for every show. I believe that is new over the past year. I hope they change it back. I've always found it interesting what the title logo ends up being.

Black and white to convey a time period, as people were calling it for the Bonnie and Clyde Playbill, was a bogus excuse (and I loved that show!) But as gorgeous as the color artwork is for Lady Day… this playbill actually works well in black and white and I love it.
I'm also really surprised that they are going with that artwork for Inishmaan. I really, really thought that was just a placeholder artwork for the website/ads until they got closer to opening. It's kind of boring, then again they could just be going for simplicity/selling Radcliffe.
