Now that the season is over and the year is almost at an end, I like to ask most years what your personal top 10 (or top five if you can narrow down better than me) were. Doesn't matter where - Broadway, Off Broadway, your 5 year old's school play in a cafetorium. What are the best things you got to experience this year? I really enjoy seeing what people loved in a year and it jogs my memory a lot about things I maybe forgot about.
Personally, I don't think I've ever had such a clear number one as I do this year. I remember thinking back in February that it would take a miracle in the coming year for something to overtake "I Love You So Much I Could Die" as my number one. And while "Illinoise" came REALLY close, not even that could move Mona Pirnot's miraculous "ILYSMICD" from that top slot.
So for me personally,
1. I Love You So Much I Could Die (NYTW)
2. Illinoise (Bway)
and then the other 8 in alphabetical order -
25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Kennedy Center)
Gatsby (A.R.T.)
Heart of Rock and Roll (Bway)
Little Bear Ridge Road (Steppenwolf)
Maybe Happy Ending (Bway)
Oedipus (West End)
Oh, Mary! (Bway & Off)
Ragtime (NYCC)
