Not a good season for Roundabout?
Wishful Drinking- Great critical and audience response. If there was a special event category this show would have won.
Sondheim on Sondheim- Great critical response, good audience response
Everyday Rapture- AMAZING critical response, audiences seem to be loving it.
The Glass Menagerie- Good critical response, audiences mixed but it sold well.
Present Laughter- Good critical response, audiences mixed.
I would say it was a actually a good year for Roundabout. Not amazing, but pretty good.

He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters

I laughed out loud when I read this threat title.
Dreadfully shocked, indeed.

I think Roundabout had a great season. I agree that Wishful Drinking would probably won if we still had the "Best Theatrical Event" award.
However, would Everyday Rapture have been considered for 'Best Musical" if the "Best Theatrical Event" award was sill given?

Posted: 5/4/10 at 9:45amTSR- But Roundabout had the courage to bring them to New York (or move them to Broadway). We must be grateful that we have 3 (and soon 4) great non-profits that are willing to take risks when presenting shows on Broadway.

Posted: 5/4/10 at 9:47amI just lately prefer Roundabout's "risks" when they're outsourced. When they come from in-house we get HEDDA GABLER.

Posted: 5/4/10 at 10:33amBut I think GODOT was sadly that rare production of theirs lately that just "worked". I agree it was a highlight of last season for me, too!
