I don't know them personally but I'm sure they're great.

But have you felt the decisions are good or bad?

Sometimes good. Sometimes bad.

It is the most prestigious honor in American theatre, save the Nobel Prize. Obviously, in any given year, some people will disagree with the result because they like a show that did not win, or hate a show that did, and some people (the posturing troll After Eight comes to mind) don't like the awards because they do not cater to the sensibility of an eight year old child. The committee is of course not a monolith but in general the results have been consistent with the broad critical reception.

They have their own standards, which may or may not meet my own personal tastes, but usually do have to do with some factors that are more objective rather than subjective. I can't think of anything that the Pulitzer has awarded to that I could really argue doesn't deserve it in some for, even if I personally disliked the show itself. I believe that receiving the Pulitzer is a great honor, and certainly means there is something right going on with it. However, that does not guarantee that it will be a show I personally enjoy or appreciate, so I can't use the Pulitzer itself as a sole factor in determining what I should see.
