## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a bold typographic theater poster for an urban music play titled {play_title}, with a gritty late-1970s punk/Broadway energy and extreme oversized typography.

Canvas: Vertical poster, 3:4 aspect ratio. Bright saturated yellow background with black and red ink only, high-contrast risograph/screenprint texture, slightly distressed edges, photocopied grain, halftone shadows.

Layout: The title dominates the left and lower center in huge condensed black uppercase letters, split into exactly 3 stacked title blocks: “CITY” at the top, “FE” in the middle, and “VER” across the bottom. Letters are cropped by the poster edges and slightly tilted for a kinetic street-poster feel. Place a black-and-white cutout photo of a dramatic female dancer/singer on the right-center, overlapping the title: messy dark hair, head tilted back, one arm raised high out of frame, open shirt over a black tank top, jeans, expressive stage-performance pose.

Text content: Add exactly 11 distinct text groups around the poster: 1) left vertical red/black tagline: “LOVE. AMBITION. SURVIVAL. WELCOME TO THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS.” 2) red subtitle near the center-left: {subtitle} 3) top-right credits: “WRITTEN BY AYA SATO” and “DIRECTED BY KEN MORI” 4) small red star badge reading “LIVE MUSIC EVERY NIGHT” 5) right vertical venue block: {venue} with smaller red address “555 W 42ND ST NEW YORK, NY” 6) slanted date box: {dates} 7) ticket block: “TICKETS ON SALE NOW” 8) phone and website: “212.555.0198” and “CITYFEVERPLAY.COM” 9) lower-left review quote: “ELECTRIFYING. A LOVE LETTER TO THE ONES WHO KEEP THE CITY ALIVE.” with attribution “— FRONT ROW NEW YORK” 10) round black badge: “LIMITED ENGAGEMENT DON’T MISS IT!” 11) red bottom banner: {bottom_banner}

Additional visual details: Add a black silhouette skyline along the bottom edge, including small buildings, skyscrapers, and a water tower. Use heavy condensed sans-serif typography similar to vintage theater bills, with red accent text for urgency. Keep all type uppercase, tightly kerned, with intentional overlaps and cropped margins. No extra people, no logos, no watermark.
