The Best Theater of 2024
Waterfront history staged afloat, a variety of robots, and Mary Todd Lincoln going wild.

“‘Maybe Happy Ending,’ opened in November to glowing reviews that transformed it from an unknown commodity to a dark-horse contender for the best musical Tony”
absolutely love seeing those words in the WSJ! Keep the praise company from all avenues please!
Top 3 for me were Jellicle Ball, Sunset, and Dead Outlaw. Ragtime right up there too. Other highlights were Illinoise, Maybe Happy Ending and Suffs.
The massive caveats are that I haven't seen Oh, Mary or Carmelita Tropicana yet and I could easily see those being some of my favorites.
I'm with Isherwood that I would've been quite surprised to learn in January that Andrew Lloyd Webber would top my list, much less occupy two of my top three.
Bye 2024. Bring on 2025 and Best Musical Dead Outlaw!
Oh, Mary! is at the top of my list, with Cats:the Jellicle Ball a close second....

I don’t know how to attach it but the NYT published Green’s top ten this morning.
Seems premature for Best of 2024 lists with four major Broadway openings still to come this month.

Broadway roared back, but the kitties were downtown and the prayer service was in Brooklyn.

Agree on many of these (Outsiders rumble, Gimme Shelter in Hills of California) but would add the set changes in Mary Jane and Our Town.
Honorable mention of my favorite line read: Peter Friedman's "Whoa whoa whoa" in Job
