Best: TBOM, Priscilla, Importance of Being Earnest

Best: The Milk Train
Worst: Mistakes Were Made; Gruesome Playground Injuries
Best: The Book of Mormon; Brief Encounter; The Scottsboro Boys; The Little Foxes; The Interminable Suicide of Gregory Church
Worst: Compulsion; A Free Man of Color.
Most overrated: Other Desert Cities
Most underrated: Sue me--I liked Women on the Verge. It was a huge mess, but I still had a blast. I'd rather sit through its sloppiness a dozen times than have to rewatch some of the more lifeless but technically more competent productions this season--I'm looking at you, How to Succeed.
Best: The Book of Mormon
Worst: Wonderland, Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark
Best so far (I'm not done seeing shows this season yet):
The Scottsboro Boys- Pure brilliance
Sister Act- Pure fun
Marin and Jason in Next to Normal- Breathed new life into an already great show
Encores! Bells are Ringing- Pure, old fashioned fun
Worst so far:
I haven't wasted my money on Spider Man, yet, but maybe that's good news
Women on the Verge... - It had professional performances, a nice design concept and moved swiftly, but the material was oh so dull. Really sad to say it wasn't very good

Best (so far):
Scottsboro Boys
Importance of Being Earnest
The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore
Anything Goes
Worst (so far):
Spiderman. It was SO awful that it set a new standard for awfulnees and pobably has replaced Carrie. I'm sure that NOTHING will hit be as badly as that stinker.

with so many offerings this season, you would think that i could find more than 1 show to love. wrong.
best: how to succeed (and i'm NOT a daniel radcliffe fan)
worst: bloody bloody andrew jackson, brief encounter (i know others loved this, but i saw the final dress and it was torturous), bengal tiger (i left at intermission), **i'll definitely get sh*t for this one** scottsboro boys, women on the verge, wonderland (i saw the first preview, maybe it will get better)
