The lack of consistency in the artwork used for the original Broadway production of South Pacific is absolutely astounding to me. Here are the window card, sheet music, cast album, and souvenir program—all different.

And none of it is any good! (The window card might be the best of the lot, but that’s not saying much.)

it played 5yrs, and as it moved from house to house, you'd think they'd want artwork that anchored the ship in each. But at that same time, active US military engagement in the SP region was now a new war, and was this a factor in reaching new audiences, with TV's now in more living rooms?

Tbh, I don't like the cast recording artwork, it looks so cheap, so fan-made.

That's even worse. It's just a (promo) picture of the leads. It's giving "photoshop is my passion".

The original production of South Pacific had more artwork than Mamma Mia! has had over twenty-five years internationally.

Or Cats, or Les Miz, or Phantom, or Wicked…
