Hello I am trying to find old reviews in the New York Times, however the NYT search engine keeps giving me the most recent review, a good example of this is the 2001 Producers review at the St James, when the show first opened, regardless of how hard I look it keeps coming back with the later 2004 review.
Any tips?

SeanMartin, You're not correct. The Times archives are covered in the search option on their website.
Phantom Of London, if you search and nothing comes up, there is an option of how far back to extend your search. You can go as far back as a week or a month, or a year. Or, you can even choose to go back as far as 1851 (the year that The New York Times started.) So, my guess is that you might not have selected to search back far enough.
