So The Waverly Gallery got ANOTHER new Playbill cover as of this evening and I have to ask what the hell is Scott Rudin doing? I thought the artwork they used for the first week was beautiful and perfect why is this now the cover?

The previous one at first glance looks like she's sitting on the toilet. Anyone else see that?

The original artwork is good. I can see that he wants people to realize it's Elaine May, but at least use a good photo!

At least she looked beautiful in the sitting-on-the-toilet cover. This is just awful.
I usually like Rudin's throwback playbills, but the artwork for the show is gorgeous, so why not use it for the playbill?

This playbill would work better if it was a perspective shot of her trying to rummage through her purse, and without that creepy smile on her face. I'm glad I went Sunday and got the sitting down one.

I burst out laughing at my desk.

This is truly horrible.

I was at the show tonight and they had a new cover. Rehearsal picture, black and white, much better than the one posted above. I don’t know how to post a picture however.

It’s under the Golden Theatre location tag on Instagram if anyone wants to take a look. It’s certainly an improvement but why are they going with the closeups? This is the fourth cover since they opened what in the world are they doing

Wow these covers are awful...glad I went first week of previews. Why can't they use the promo image Vulture just released?

Link to the newest cover, as seen on the Golden Theatre instagram tag

And a new production photo was released, which is beautiful.

Wait a minute....You're glad you saw the play during its first week of previews because the Playbill covers were nicer???????

These days, it’s really the show curtains, the logo concession cups, and the Playbill covers that really matter.

...yes? This is an entire thread hating on the Waverly Gallery playbills, but you’re stuck on my rational comment about being thankful I received a copy with the nicest cover? If you’re trying to insinuate I see shows just to get a Playbill, that is...just plain wrong. Ugh.

Thanks, VotePeron.  I was having a lousy day and your response to Dollypop just made me laugh out loud.

Well, if that's how you define "rational", then so be it.

Not for nothing, but I don’t think anyone’s definition of rational would include writing an unnecessarily snarky post and ending it with seven question marks.
