The current theatre season is witnessing an unprecedented level of excitement and artistic merit, with box office records shattered even during previews. Unlike previous seasons, this year has primarily showcased plays rather than musicals, drawing in A-list Hollywood talent that has sparked renewed interest among audiences. The infusion of big names has led to skyrocketing ticket prices, with some approaching thousands, reminiscent of the enthusiastic pre-pandemic times in the theatre world.
"Not since before the pandemic have we had a theatre season this simultaneously frenetic and artistically compelling... this one is nuts: shows have obliterated box-office records while they were still in previews."
"This year's plums are plays, not musicals. A hullabaloo over Mamet? Over Shakespeare? It feels like the old days."
