Would anyone going to previews be willing to grab me an extra playbill and send it my way? I'm really sad the art is changing!

what are they changing the art to?

Wow that new artwork is a big step down. The old design was so cool. What the heck? Maybe that explains the lack of merchandise at previews thus far.

I like a good rhyme more than a good time

that's awful. YIKES!!

A Chorus Line played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013.

I can't believe they would replace some of the most inspired artwork in recent memory with that.

WOW. That is a MAJOR downgrade. The artwork was one of the only things this show had going for it.

I think that's a little harsh given the names attached.

Yea. Seriously. Is bwayphreak trying to be funny? I can never tell if people on the internet are trying to be funny.

Yikes. That is bad. It looks like a stock photo and says nothing about the show other than... it may contain dance? I guess?

"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

Having seen the show last night, I stand by my statement. No one in this all star cast stood out to me.

Just saw the show tonight. I'm really glad I grabbed a few extra Playbills before they change the artwork. Anyways, I can't wait for Audra to win her seventh Tony for this. That's all I have to say.

i've got 99 problems and a revival of parade would solve like 94 of them

Really excited to see this. Never seen Audra live and really eager to see how this musical continues to evolve theatrically. Seeing it next Wednesday, and won't be able to see the final product, but will be fun to watch how it's developed.

I'd also love an old Playbill, if anyone kind enough would be willing to get me one.

To anyone who is going soon, if you could grab an extra playbill, I would love to have one with the original (brilliant) artwork before they change it. If you can help me out send me a PM!

We should create some kind of petition to get the playbill back. But what someone said about this being the year of minimal sets really stuck out to me, especially with next year being the year of lavish and grand sets. We will have Comet, Chocolate Factory, Singing in the Rain and perhaps Frozen.

I appoligise for any spelling mistakes. I may be on my mobile. Clumsy fingers and small little touchscreen keys don't mixx. I try to spellcheck, but I may miss something.

WHy would they care....I don't think a Playbill cover deters or sells tickets.

Gleek...I'm going next weekend, I'll try to grab an extra if you don't get a sooner offer.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I just picked up a "modified rush" for tonight in Orch Row E on the extreme side. Has anyone sat here for this show in the last few days? The guy at the box office, who was very helpful, said the view is very good, so I'm hoping so.

Man, that artwork is godawful. I normally don't care about Playbill covers, but yikes that really does look terrible. The original artwork was beyond stunning too.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
