I've been sharing my list for the last couple of years with BWW, and I am increasingly amazed at all the comments from people who read my reviews and opinions. Healthy that some agree and some disagree. This year more than one person mentioned at least a half dozen plays and performances I should have seen, stating that they belong on every list. I wish I had had the time to see them all.
Let me make one thing clear: I am a one-man band. I see 4/5 plays a week every week throughout the year, but with all the theatre in LA, I am only seeing a small percentage. It would take 10-12 reviewers to cover everything that is out there. I wish I could see more, but it's impossible.
One thing that does make me truly happy is that there exists in LA a serious passion for good theatre, in spite of what New Yorkers think. Yes, world, LA does have good theatre - some great... and some truly wonderful talent, and more and more people are recognizing that and standing up to share their views. Bravo!
I'm so proud to be a small part of it.
Happy New Year!
