Description
From The Lion King to Moose Murders and from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to Agatha Christieʼs The Mousetrap, celebrate the Drama Desk Award-winning artwork of Frank “Fraver” Verlizzo with more than 250 of his theatre poster designs from Broadway, Off-Broadway, and around the globe. For the first time in his five-decade career, this monograph collection will take you behind-the-scenes into the world of theatrical advertising through a rare look at 40 unpublished poster sketches for some of Broadway’s favorite shows, hilarious career anecdotes, and commentary from theatre icons, including Bernadette Peters, Dean Pitchford, and Jack Viertel. More than 20 of Fraverʼs poster designs for the works of Stephen Sondheim are spotlighted, as well as those created for Rodgers & Hammerstein, The Kennedy Center, and New York City Centerʼs Encores! series. This is the perfect collection for students and fans of the theatre, graphic design and advertising, and the arts in general.

I love posters, always have - they hold such power on the general public in whether a show pulls people in or not - not unlike book covers.. These images are reproductions of the" Faver" exhibition, I wish I could have been there.
The book is like almost being there, as it reproduces many and includes a fabulous commentary from artists and Faver himself. A great book for graphic artist, marketers and artist (or anyone interested in posters.)
