A really interesting poll. I bristled at the inclusion of The Realistic Joneses because I loved it so much, but then I voted for Bullets Over Broadway, which I know other people adored. The only one I didn't see was Bronx Bombers, so I feel solid in my choice.
Regardless: I'm curious if you'll show the results entered under "Other" at some point! I would expect Holler, Rocky, and The Last Ship to get some votes (though I would disagree about all!)
Shouldn't the list include EVERY show that opened so far? How did you arrive at THESE choices? (Most that were FAR from awful. Being mediocre isn't a qualification for WORST.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
You left out Les Miserables... and I do not think it is fair to only include a handful of show. You need to include all shows that opened in 2014 if this is going to be an unbiased poll.

There is a slot ("Other") to put in any show you want, but I never claimed that this is an unbiased poll -- it reflects my views. It's certainly not scientific -- no online polls are. I did make an effort to reflect the consensus; for example, I would have liked to put "It's Only A Play" in the list, but realize that I'm in the minority in my view of that show.
If you really feel that Les Miz was the worst Broadway show of the year, then write it in the "Other" slot.
Jeez, so much negativity. I know it can be fun to bad-mouth shows you don't like. I'd be lying if I said I've never experienced that feeling, but it makes me sad that people enjoy it enough to essentially turn it into a game. I'm not trying to judge anyone, point fingers or call anyone a bad person or anything like that. But to me, the fact that this poll exists is indicative of a larger mentality which I just makes me kinda sad.
