Hello! Does anyone have a spare Playbill from this month from "On the Town," or would you be willing to get me one if you are seeing it later this month? I just love the color artwork and am kinda bummed that it will be black and white when I finally get to see it next month! So I was looking for one from October...
[and before anyone gets too snarky, yes I checked eBay-- the only ones available are from September or opening night.]
Please just let me know! I am totally willing to pay for shipping 
Thanks in advance!

Why do you think the cover will be in Black + White starting in November?
And I may have an extra Playbill from last week - let me check.

On Playbillvault.com, there is a black and white cover for November on the page for "On the Town."
Thanks for checking!

I wonder why they switch to Black + White covers? It can't be any cheaper to print, since I'm pretty sure the back cover is color. How much could they save?
I'll check when I get home for the Playbill.

Posted: 10/20/14 at 4:27pmCorrect me if I'm wrong, anyone, but I'm almost positive that Playbill is a free service if the cover is in black + white. A production may choose to pay a fee if they want a color cover. Some who can afford it will remain in color their entire run, some will begin and stay in black + white and never pay a fee and others will start in color and then change to black + white as to avoid the fee.

Posted: 10/20/14 at 5:03pmThe back page is color because whoever paid for the ad paid for it to be in color. It's unrelated to the front cover as stated above.

So it's just a revenue thing for Playbill.
