How would you compare this season to last season? Show to show.

2006-2007 Musicals:

GREY GARDENS
MARY POPPINS
SPRING AWAKENING
THE TIMES THEY ARE A' CHANGING
HIGH FIDELITY
CURTAINS
PIRATE QUEEN
LEGALLY BLONDE

2007-2008 Musicals:

XANADU
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
THE LITTLE MERMAID
PASSING STRANGE
IN THE HEIGHTS
CRY-BABY
A CATERED AFFAIR
GLORY DAYS (?)

Also, fell free to compare plays/revivals.

I think I would compare (roughly):

GREY GARDENS --------> A CATERED AFFAIR (?)
MARY POPPINS --------> THE LITTLE MERMAID, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
SPRING AWAKENING ----> PASSING STRANGE, IN THE HEIGHTS, GLORY DAYS (?)
THE TIMES THEY ARE A' CHANGING ----> No Idea...
HIGH FIDELITY --------> CRY-BABY (?)
CURTAINS ---> I don't know. I saw CURTAINS, but I don't know what compares to it.
PIRATE QUEEN --------> (?)
LEGALLY BLONDE ------> CRY-BABY (?)

What are your thoughts?


"I mean, sitting side by side with another man watching Patti LuPone play Rose in GYPSY on Broadway is essentially the equivalent of having hardcore sex." -Wanna Be A Foster. "Say 'Goody.' Say 'Bubbi.'" ... "That's it. Exactly as if it were 'Goody.' Now I know you're gonna sing 'Goody' this time, but nevertheless..."

Last season kicked ass. It was one of the best season I can recall.
This season is an embarressment.

Musical-wise that is.

This season is far superior in the play category.
