Best:

Sunset Blvd. (can't overestimate its impact on the audiences)

Suffs

Appropriate

Cult of love

Water for elephants (don't understand the hate, many shows wished they had such a competent director and flawless stagecraft)

Our Town

The Outsiders

Worst:

Illinoise (absolute worst, meaningless production I've ever seen)

Cabaret (insufferable, walked out at intermission)

Once upon a mattress (only the double cocktail kept me in my seat till the end)

An enemy of the people (style over substance)

With something like stereophonic, it’s not that i hated it, it’s just I didn’t get it. I’ve been told from a few people that they’re surprised someone my age actually sat through it (I’m 16) and surprised when I didn’t swap my tickets to see cabaret again, which I seriously considered doing.

The only things I actually ‘dreaded’ this year were the Dead Evan Hansen tour and the Ain’t Too Proud tour which, although weren’t broadway were the ones I would consider the worst.

The best thing year for me (out of the 5 I actually saw on broadway) were Cabaret and Sunset Blvd. I thought I was going to hate cabaret and sunset, I saw cabaret 17 times before this and had no clue what sunset was about. But the preshow at cabaret was probably the coolest ****ing thing I’ve ever seen in a theatre, me and my little brother ran around the theatre watching everything and exploring the space, best hour and 300$ I’ve ever spent. And sunset was just a seriously beautiful show, I’d wanna see it again and again. Mandy Gonzalez should win the tony, even though she isn’t principal Norma. Such a damn good show.

also the outsiders was bland and I have no clue how people liked it.

Best: Death Becomes Her, Sunset, Gypsy, Attack on Titan(bias cause I love that show)

Worst: SH*T Meet Fan(if it wasn't one act I would have left), Suffs, Mary Jane, Hold on to me darling

How was Eddie Redmayne?

On the flipside, on the worst end I can guarantee the dogpiling on Tammy Faye is only because it closed recently and nobody saw the worse shows (Patriots anyone? Most of the shows we've forgotten by now). If Lempicka closed recently I guarantee that would be the one getting all the hate. Not that I'm defending Tammy, it definitely wasn't the best but it doesn't jump out anywhere close to the worst shows I've seen as of lately. Now if Walking with Ghosts was on here... That can take the bottom spot."


Patriots was one of my favorite this year, to each their own."

I saw Patriots in London and absolutely loved it, so you are not alone. I was really surprised just how badly it did in NYC.
