Nice lists! Thanks for compiling them! 

I did a little bit of statistics for myself, just for fun: of the 32 in-person, New York theatrical productions mentioned here, I was lucky enough to see 24 of them. Of the remaining 8, there are 5 that I willingly skipped, 2 that I'm supposed to see this week (*knock on wood*), and only 1 that I wanted to see but couldn't fit it in before it closed ("While you were partying". 

Overall, I think it's a solid set of lists. Most of my favorite productions from this year are represented here at least once. I would've liked to see more love for "The Grown-Ups" and "Taxilandia" but it's possible not all of the critics saw them. 

There are a few shows on here that I personally didn't care for, but none that make me go "huh??" Even the ones I didn't like seem like reasonable picks. 

A couple of shows I would've liked to see mentioned:

-Letters of Suresh (2nd Stage)

-Islander (HERE Arts Center)
