As a critic, expectations aren't great. They can get in the way of your judgment; you want to evaluate every show on its own terms, not in comparison to what you imagined it would be.
I had spent most of the previous two weeks putting together fall previews: a complete guide to the shows coming to Broadway this fall, and a second assemblage of 30 promising shows in the Off Broadway world.
There are 17 new productions opening on Broadway this fall—a big step up from last year, when there were just 10—and I hope all of them are good.
But I'd be lying if I said there weren't a few that I was particularly eager to see.
