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.

I laughed out loud when I read this threat title.

Dreadfully shocked, indeed.

Jordan- Ah, then we agree. I feel Roundabout began to get their act together with Godot, and I was very pleased with this season. Hopefully this continues and we get another great season from them.

May I respectfully point out that Roundabout shows that seemed to gather the best critical and audience response were NOT Roundabout productions, but shows they pulled in from elsewhere:

Wishful Drinking
The Glass Menagerie
Everyday Rapture

That's a VERY good point, TSR!

PRESENT LAUGHTER was also brought in from Huntington Theatre Company.

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?

TSR- 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.

I just lately prefer Roundabout's "risks" when they're outsourced. When they come from in-house we get HEDDA GABLER.

Or Godot, one of the most enjoyable theatre experiences I had last season.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 5/4/10 at 10:33am

But 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!
