What's the difference between Playbills that are in color and black & white?

Question:I've seen three shows this month: Legally Blonde, Wicked, and The Color Purple. The only Playbill that's in color is Wicked. Is there a reason for this?

It's based on how much the production itself takes in; so the more popular shows for instance; Wicked will have color playbills.

Color is about three times the cost.

all about the money.... ur sooo lucky to see those shows..... i saw The Color Purple on B'Way also- loved it.... i love wicked too, and i saw Leagally Blonde: The Musical on TV, it was good...
