A good list! Who is the couple on the left? Are they from Hello, Dolly? I don't recognize them. Oh, I guess Sweeney Todd?

Yep, Sweeney Todd.

Here is the Vulture’s list. Definitely much different than Time or NYT.

For the person complaining about these lists including only NYC productions, here is a list from The Washington Post listing best Washington productions although, perhaps unsurprisingly, several are productions that first played In New York.

Time tends to have a very wacky list, but this one is fairly normal. And usually they include stuff from all over. Seems like a very safe list.

I was able to see 4 of these shows on my recent NYC trip.

Happy Indecent is getting recognized on these lists -- totally an excellent show. Having seen everything on the this TIME list, except Sweeney Todd (yet) I definitely agree with it.

Having seen 8 out of the 10, it's a solid list, but a bit safe.
