Its elegant, but I'd love some sparkle. They should have gotten the companies who marketed for Arden and Rubinstein to find something as powerful and imaginative!

Yeah, it's rather "eh," but it is advertising to a much older audience. It's not going for the Instagram crowd. I don't think the people going to the show are going to care. You're going for the divas. I know I am.

Will this show sell? Other than the two leading ladies, what about this show will be a draw to audiences?

And not to think to far ahead but how will this show fair after the ladies depart? They'll need some pretty big names to fill those shoes.

I have tickets for this and, tbh, I'm really only seeing it for LuPone and Ebersole. I doubt this will be a long-runner and I doubt they would recast at the end of their contracts. I suspect this will, at best, just run to the end of LuPone and Ebersole's contract. Hope to be proven wrong though.

If this does continue past their contracts I would want Patti to extend and Glenn close to replace Christine.

That would be PURE GOLD.

The Broadway artwork looks like what I would've expected for the out-of-town tryout. It's flat, bland and ugly. The Chicago artwork was splashy, flashy and gorgeous!

Hopefully the show can run for a year, turn a small profit then close. But if we want to entertain replacements:

'Reopen' with Bernadette Peters/Donna Murphy (in the Lupone role) or replace Ebersole with Bernadette and Lupone stay on.

I often post here on my phone, so please excuse issues with grammar, paragraphing and spelling :).

Agreed, Greased. The Chicago artwork was far more interesting and aesthetically pleasing than what's up at the Nederlander right now, regardless of the type of audience the show is aiming for. Between this and what's up at the Lunt-Fontanne for Charlie right now, I'm finding myself increasingly disappointed by the state of marketing and ad design on Broadway right now.
