The Best Theater of 2015

The New York Times: Yet 2015 was a year of astonishments, of productions that bent and sometimes shattered the rules that govern traditional stage genres. In the past four months alone, Broadway has seen the openings of not one but three extraordinary works, in three different categories, that might be described as (to use the mot du jour) game-changers: Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop musical “Hamilton”; Mike Bartlett’s oxymoronically but accurately described “future history” play, “King Charles III”; and Ivo van Hove’s stripped-naked revival of Arthur Miller’s “A View From the Bridge.”
