By saying something is the best ever leaves yourself wide open.

 

Best is subjective to each person.

Well:  American Psycho, Bright Star, Shuffle Along, Waitress.....how's that for a start?   The season is barely 1/2 over.

The BWW writers are certainly obsessed. There's at least five new articles today including "Five Fun Facts" and "Take your afternoon coffee break with Broadway's next Dolly Levi!"

Relax BWW.

I think this season could turn out well. 

 

School of Rock was good.

Waitress is expected to be great. 

American Psycho could be incredible or a flop. It is hard to predict. 

Tuck Everlasting with Terrance Mann looks promising. 

Other than those, I am not really excited about any other.

 

Although, my theory is a lot of the potential great shows, are holding off until after Hamilton sweeps the Tonys.

What about Tuck Everlasting looks promising? They hired a new book writer for Broadway. When is that ever a promising sign?

The Color Purple was amazing.

I personally don't think anyone should be making predictions about next season already. We don't even know how the rest of this season will be shaping up yet.

 

So far, we seem to be off to a pretty good start with the shows that have opened.

 

The Color Purple
Fiddler on the Roof
Hamilton
King Charles III
Noises Off
On Your Feet!
School of Rock
Spring Awakening
A View from the Bridge

 

The rest of the shows this season do have potential.

Shuffle Along...: With such an all star cast and creative team, it has so much going for it. But if Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown taught us anything, it's that just because you've got a great team doesn't automatically mean gold.

 

Tuck Everlasting: Yes, it has a new book writer joining the team, but it can be for the benefit. Also keep in mind that this show is directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, who really has been able to turn Aladdin around from out-of-town in Toronto to Broadway and worked on Something Rotten! a lot throughout previews. So I wouldn't count it out just yet.

 

Waitress: Again, it has a lot going for it. It got some pretty good reviews in Boston, though some did feel it needed work. It should be interesting to see if it will live up to the anticipation.

When I saw Bright Star at the Old Globe in San Diego, it was pretty good.  Add that into this season.
