“The mania for all things British continued unabated this season on Broadway, and there’s no reason to believe it will subside anytime soon… But much of the London-originated product seen in New York this season left me disappointed in one way or another. The cumulative effect has left me wondering whether this was simply an off season, or whether all the money being lavished on plays and productions from across the ocean is bringing much in the way of lasting rewards to the Broadway environment.”
