2023-2024 Broadway Season Ranked

I saw every new show that opened on Broadway in the 2023-2024 season. Once more, perfectly normal and not at all cost-prohibitive. Compared to seasons' past, this one was plentiful in new musicals and utterly bereft of quality. Usually I have at least four shows that rewire my entire circuitry, but not this time.

Do you have strong opinions on any of these new shows? Are you filled with unstoppable rage at this list? Do you agree wholeheartedly? Discuss.

So, two of these three shows didn't release trailers on youtube, so that's their loss. Bit odd from a marketing standpoint, but hey, why bother when your whole show is just sold on your big movie star lead. (I'm not bitter or anything.)

Anyway, please enjoin the ENTIRETY of Purlie Victorious on PBS.

Best Featured Actress in a Play: Kara Young, Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch

Leslie Odom Jr. isn’t feeling very happy right now. As he rightfully points out, the string of terrifying world events is enough to give him pause. However, as he pointedly clarifies, he is feeling joyful. Spending time with his children and community and pouring himself into his creative practices as an actor and musician have allowed him to access a bedrock emotion beyond happiness. It’s an emotion that, after a season that he describes as one of “the most intense periods of growth in my life,” he’s ready to finally reclaim.
