Still crazy that QOV got a Critics Pick.
I haven’t seen 3 of those shows but I can’t fault most of the others. As has been said elsewhere, it’s such a great year for plays and musical revivals.

Grade inflation is good for business, taking a stand on real value is a money loser.

Other than QoV, these weren’t outlier reviews. This season has been weird and definitely thin in terms of new musicals, but it had a consistent quality level.

Now these shows are able to slap that pointless sticker onto their marketing artwork. The mainstream masses will be impressed. 😎
