"a bit challenged in the visual appeal department"
I think you're thinking of someone else and not about this ridiculously gorgeous man! 
When he reaches certain high notes, his face looks kinda weird. But, when they were on The View he smiled almost the entire song, and he looked just fine.

Has anyone noticed the re-design on the official website? Seems like they're really using this image heavily for marketing since it's opened, instead of the logo. I've seen this one on magazine covers and on most of the headers for the reviews the past few days. The website has also been completely redone.

As long as they're not airing that horrendous commercial, which caused me to create this thread, then I am a happy person. It was embarrassing. Also, I think it's very telling they have now put it as an "Unlisted" video on YouTube. It means you can only see it if you have the actual link.

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 2/28/14 at 4:40pmSeems as if someone was reading these boards. The new commercial is so much better and doesn't reduce the actors to soap opera performers. Hopefully it will stoke more interest in this show. It is a very worthwhile experience.
The only review of a show that matters is your own.

Posted: 2/28/14 at 9:53pmI was walking by the Schoenfeld today and the new color scheme and pull quotes are being integrated into the design on the building. The marquee is still the original red, but the hanging signs and some of the cards over the entrance doors are already blue like the new scheme. They're really giving it the overhaul.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

I took a photo a couple of weeks go of how the theatre was looking with the old artwork + new pull quote artwork:
