I can't believe this many people think AUGUST is better than THE HISTORY BOYS...

Well, there's going to be bias towards recent productions since not all of us were in NYC or were even theater fans for the whole period.

I didn't move to NYC until late '07, so I didn't have the opportunity to see any of the '06 productions or a few of the '07 ones, so all my picks are more recent.

Ah, that makes sense I suppose.

AUGUST would actually be in 3rd for me, behind THE HISTORY BOYS and THE COAST OF UTOPIA.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Looking at all of the recent winners in one place, two things struck me:

1) 2010 really was a weak year
2) The Best Revival for a Play category was by far the strongest -- all 5 candidates are highly worthy IMO, which I would not say for any of the other categories

BEST PLAY
August: Osage County

BEST MUSICAL
Spring Awakening

BEST REVIVAL OF A PLAY
