PLAYBILL Covers of the 2015-2016 Season

[GreasedLightning]

I am pleased to welcome you all to another year of PLAYBILL covers! Wahoo!

First up: An Act of God!

[somechrysanthemumtea]

That's an absolutely hilarious cover! Can't wait to see the marquee. I love how it is in colour!

Do we know if Playbill is changing their logo for Gay Pride month this June?

[loliveve]

^ Yes.

the Fun Home one doesn't look good at all in Black and White.

[jbroadway4]

That new "Beautiful" cover is terrible.

[bfreak]

Seriously? Fun Home wins Best Musical of the year which will give them a huge boost in sales and then the next day they decide to switch to an awful-looking black and white playbill? That's so stupid and doesn't make any sense.

[RaiseYouUp]

The Fun Home is cute in color, but really ugly in black and white! How disappointing.

"Seriously? Fun Home wins Best Musical of the year which will give them a huge boost in sales and then the next day they decide to switch to an awful-looking black and white playbill? That's so stupid and doesn't make any sense."

 Beat me to it! "You just won the Tony what are you going to do next?" "Make my Playbill ugly!"

 

[MusicAndPassion]

The original article stated these would be released in July.

[VintageSnarker]

I don't know what significance the compass has to the show but I continue to find the Amazing Grace cover kind of generic and my brain keeps reading it as Amazing Race.

[GreasedLightning]

Playbill covers don't change over night. Any new covers added on PlaybillVault are assumed they will change for the following month. 

Disappointed Fun Home is changing to black and white, especially before all their success and packed houses in the next few months and beyond. I am also disappointed that the theater name is changing from just "Circle in the Square" to "Circle in the Square Theatre." 

Beautiful has awful artwork in the beginning and their second go around last year was absolutely... beautiful (zinger). Disappointed their third go around is back to... not so beautiful.

Hamilton:

Chicago is getting a new cover with Brandy...

 

[bfreak]

I know that was expected to be the Hamilton Playbill, but still its artwork is simply amazing and so interesting. Get used to that artwork because you're going to be seeing it for years (hopefully) like Wicked, The Lion King, and The Book of Mormon.

Hamilton looks amazing I might want it on my wall fun home black and white looks like the playbill is sick lol.also the pen and teller looks crisp as hell

 This is the nicest black and white Playbill I've seen in a while. Hopefully it looks this good in person. 

[LesWickedly]

I'm glad the Spring Awakening playbill isn't just that horrendous logo they've been using as promotion.

[JBroadway]

I think it's brilliant the way they've incorporated the ASL theme into the playbill design of Spring Awakening. For those of you who don't know, the arms crossed over the chest is ASL for "love."

[aasjb4ever]

^ I actually didn't know that! Thanks, Internet!

[bwayphreak234]

I am loving the Spring Awakening Playbill cover.

[David2]

The Spring Awakening cover looks really good in black and white. Cannot wait for this production!

[AppleSunday]

It technically looks fantastic and, no pun intended, I love the employment of ASL, but I'm having a hard time getting past how much it looks like a teen romance novel cover (the type that eventually will be made into a move with one or two mid level or major stars and the rest of the cast total unknowns). But even with that connotation I can't wait to hold one in my hand!
