Isn't it always an underwhelming season? Or at least, isn't that what theater snobs say? Let's take a look: You have SEVERAL major film stars making their Broadway debut, you have a Pulitzer prize winner author's new show, and of course, three HUGE new musicals. What did I miss?

Why do people who say they love Broadway hate Broadway?

JoeKv - If you count Superior Donuts as a new show, then there are two Pulitzer winners (Mamet and Letts) with new plays opening this year. There's also the first Broadway showings of Mamet's Oleanna and Pulitzer winner Margulies's Collected Stories

Plus there's the first Broadway revival of Bye Bye Birdie, one of the most beloved musicals out there; James Bond and Wolverine in A Steady Rain; Nathan Lane in his first musical since The Producers; Catch Me If You Can, the first musical from Marc Shaiman since winning the Tony for Hairspray and based on an Oscar-nominated film; the most expensive musical ever produced in Spider-Man; Victor Garber's first Broadway performance in 10 years; Broadway debuts from Julia Stiles, Sienna Miller, T.R. Knight, Jonny Lee Miller and more; and the opening of the brand new Henry Miller's Theatre.

What is underwhelming about this season?
