Images for musicals ...

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you very much for your good work on Amazing Grace, etc., and thank you for adding infobox images to musicals which lack an image. I would say, in general, unless there is a reason not to (no sufficiently or equally good samples, etc.), it would be preferable to use the/an official poster for a play, rather than the Playbill cover, because it's more directly and immediately representative, and there is no distraction from the Playbill headline, etc., and the Playbill is a derivative rather than the direct image, if that makes sense. One can usually find a good poster sample on Google by putting the play title in quotes, plus the words musical and poster. I would say this would be the case for Hamilton, for instance. I can understand the Playbill on Amazing Grace (harder to find a decent poster image) and Doctor Zhivago (the white-out effect), however I think Hamilton, and possibly any further musicals you may consider adding images to, would do better with the poster image.... Cheers, and keep up the good work! Happy editing, Softlavender (talk) 02:49, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
