I don't know the kind of editorial scrutiny BWW articles get, but I cringe everytime I read titles like "<so and so> reveals <this>". Revelations apply to things which are meant to be a secret, and not about things which no one had simply asked about before. Case in point - VIDEO: Julie Andrews Reveals Secrets of Iconic SOUND OF MUSIC Scene. I mean cm'mon.
This happens on TMZ-like articles as well, but I don't expect any standards from them. I might be expecting too much, but this is kinda ridiculous.

I think that the computer program that generates the articles was only programmed with a limited vocabulary.

One that thinks tributes is a verb.

Playbill headlines aren't much better.

Lately I just roll my eyes when I see those headlines. They don't entice me to open the link either.

It's PEOPLE magazine for theater fans. We're not dealing with the New York Times here, folks.

I'm far more irritated by the quote feature.
Why does it add all that extra blank space at the bottom? Especially since some people don't seem to realize it so their post ends up in italics so it's hard to tell where the quote ends and the new post starts.

I've seen the article "TIM RICE RESPONDS TO JOSEPH LYRIC CHANGE" appear three times on the site's main page and one as "ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER RESPONDS TO JOSEPH LYRIC CHANGE" despite them not quoting ALW at all!

My two latest peeves:
1) https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Breaking-Jackie-Burns-Will-Make-Long-Awaited-Return-to-WICKED-This-Summer-Amanda-Jane-Cooper-More-Also-Join-Cast-20170712
"Long-awaited"... really? I'm a big Burns fan myself, but was there really a crowd of people "awaiting" her return to the show?
2) https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Is-Casting-a-Role-Correctly-an-Issue-for-Both-Broadway-and-Hollywood-20170714
Listen, I know this is BroadwayWorld, not the Wall Street Journal, but this article must have the worst lede I've ever read. Not only does it directly contradict the headline, but it reveals tons of authorial bias.
Do better, BWW.
