From Playbill’s CEO: This Spring Is the Best That Broadway’s Ever Had

First: the sheer quantity of new offerings. At 17 new musicals, this is the most musicals that have opened in one single season in this century.

Second: The overarching quality of this new work. Rather than one or two memorable shows, we are experiencing a wealth of stand-outs.

Third: Broadway is representing American pluralism in profound ways. This season saw a historic number of top female creatives.

Out of 39 shows that opened this season, a record 16 had female directors. Last summer saw the first show with an all-Filipino cast on Broadway (Here Lies Love), last fall saw the first show starring actors on the autism spectrum (How to Dance in Ohio). And this spring saw the historic first major Broadway revival of The Wiz, with its all-Black cast and majority Black creative team. Among the season’s non-musical success stories were the extended-by-popular demand runs of three hugely acclaimed plays by Black writers: Purlie Victorious, Jaja’s African Hair Braiding, and Appropriate.

Sorry, but Broadway has been sucking ass for several years now. For every ten musicals or plays out there there, typically there only about one decent play worth spending big bucks to see.I used to see a play or musical about half dozen times a year. Now it's rare that I go to more than maybe one.
