Bye, Bye Birdie will probably go black and white, but this is a rare case where I think I actually like it better that way. It looks even more vintage.
I don't like the look of Bye-Bye Birdie in black and white. The color gives it more energy and excitement. And the eye they share in A Steady Rain is really creepy. I thought we already saw the Burn the Floor artwork. I at least recognized it from the picture of the opening night playbill they sell on playbillstore.com. I wonder if Finnian's Rainbow will be in color.
I actually think the A Steady Rain playbill is really interesting, but it doesn't work for the show IMO. The artwork almost seems to imply that the two men are one (like brothers/split personalities), which is not the case if I understand the show correctly.

the Hamlet Playbill looks nice, but the marquee creeped me out a little, since it reminded me of Dr. J. T. Eckleburg.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Playbill just put up the playbills for After Miss Julie, and Wishful Drinking. I don't know how to post pictures on here though. You can find them in the multimedia section of playbill.com
