BWW Reviews Best of 2011 - By BroadwayWorld's Chris Gibson
by Chris Gibson - Dec 20, 2011
I saw over a hundred shows again this year, and have decided to make a list of musicals as well as a list of comedies and dramas, which will be lumped together to form two different top eleven lists (in tribute to Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap) of 2011. All of these productions greatly entertained me in one way or another during the past year
But, instead of me rehashing every single production, I'll just write up my lists for the year. I saw slightly fewer show than last year, but times are tough and we all should probably expect a certain amount of attrition (all lists are in no particular order) in this rough fiscal year. But, even in the toughest of times there are always the Arts to take us to a different place, away from our worries and strife.
