Not only did I enjoy seeing them again, I got to show off my theatre nerd cred with my friends and colleagues, saying stuff like, 'The Fat Ham transfer really works, but I missed the intimacy I enjoyed at the Public ' 'I'm so glad the entire cast of Kimberly Akimbo transferred-I loved them at the Atlantic and it's wonderful to see some of those kids make their Broadway debuts ' and 'I saw Into the Woods at Encores! and we need to do a line-by-line comparison of Heather's witch vs. And it would have been a big fat shame to skip Fat Ham and the other Broadway transfers.

Transfers are worth revisiting - If not for this project, I might not have gone to shows I'd already seen Off Broadway. It was a gift to soak in such a rich variety of voices and experiences, from the heartbreak of Leopoldstadt to the hilarity of Peter Pan Goes Wrong.Ģ. I would have missed Sean Hayes' explosive rendition of 'Rhapsody in Blue' on the piano at the climax of Good Night, Oscar, the riveting puppetry in Life of Pi and the conjuring of Kabul in The Kite Runner. Without this endeavor, I would have missed the ones that turned out to be my favorites: Between Riverside and Crazy, Cost of Living and Summer, 1976. By committing to see every play this season, my world expanded. But with plays, I typically only attend the ones that are up for Tony Awards or star someone I love. I usually see most Broadway musicals, both new shows and revivals. Here are ten takeaways from my first-ever perfect Broadway season.ġ.The play's the thing - I'm the quintessential musical theatre kid, so it was a no-brainer that I'd attend the tales of Sweeney Todd, Camelot, Some Like It Hot and their ilk. But, 39 Broadway shows later, I realize I've gained more than bragging rights and credit card debt. It was just another zany mission, like the time my friend Tyler and I saw five shows in one day. When I set out to see every Broadway production that bowed this season, I didn't have a compelling reason beyond loving theatre. I saw all 39 shows that opened on the Main Stem in 2022-2023 and I have wisdom to share!
