Back to the Articleby Charles Shubow
It was back in January, 2000, that I began my writing for Broadwayworld.com. As I begin my 7th year, it is time to look back on the wonderful productions I've seen during 2012. It's been a busy year. I've written 37 theater reviews and 10 other articles. I've been to the Shakespeare Theatre Company (7), Center Stage (6) Everyman Theatre (5), Signature Theatre (4), Kennedy Center (4), Arena Stage (4), Rep Stage (2), Olney Theatre Center (2), Ford's Theatre (1), Heritage Players (1), and the Gloucester Stage Co. (1). Most of the theater I've seen has been outstanding. So here we go...the best of 2012. Best Plays: The Whipping Man - Center Stage The Normal Heart - Arena Stage Heroes - Everyman Theatre Pullman Porter Blues - Arena Stage You Can't Take It With You - Everyman Theatre Servant of Two Masters - Shakespeare Theatre Company Skull in Connemara - Center Stage Yellowman - Rep Stage Time Stands Still - Everyman Theatre Company The Government Inspector - Shakespeare Theatre Company Best Musicals: The Music Man - Arena Stage Into The Woods - Center Stage Brother Russia - Signature Theatre 1776 - Ford's Theatre Best Little Whorehouse in Texas - Signature Theatre Memphis - Kennedy Center Little Shop of Horrors - Olney Theatre Center Dreamgirls - Signature Theatre Million Dollar Quartet - Kennedy Center Xanadu - Signature Theatre Special Event: Concert Version of Les Miserables with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra I would like to thank the founder of Broadwayworld.com Robert Diamond for this incredible opportunity and my editor Christina Mancuso for all of her incredible assistance.
