But like literally who cares? It doesn't tell the audience who hasn't seen the show anything about it, or why they should be interested, and frankly I don't think it means all that much to people who have seen it - they'd have to recognize that logo. I can't remember if the logo is shown in the show. But come on.... this artwork has to sell a very oddball, hard to sell musical to a LOT of people. I've seen the show and I don't even like their choices with the poster art, but that is fine... it wouldn't keep me away... the marketing videos and photo campaign however...

the purpose of spending all the money on art is not to create riddles; it's to sell tickets. It does not HAVE to tell the potential audience what the show is about but it has to attract their attention to the point that they want to find out more. Les Miz is not about that girl but she makes you want to learn more.

Yes! That's true. (but it's also not not about her.)

And the Kimberly Akimbo artwork doesn't do that in my opinion. I honestly don't think most people even notice that the top of the image has an old lady neck, as it were. And that's only if you see the full image. Most of it is just the Great Adventure rainbow and the title. It does look bright, it makes it look like a fun show and a comedy. And it is both those things.

Again, my biggest issue with the marketing isn't even the artwork, which i think is confusing and a wasted opportunity but totally fine... it is the way they are marketing it in photos and videos.
