Ethan Mordden critiques the evolution of Broadway musicals following the closing of 42nd St., arguing it marked a decline in artistry. He examines the shift from grand orchestras and meaningful lyrics to productions like Cats and Miss Saigon, highlighting both popular and lesser-known shows. His analysis extends to the critics, whom he holds responsible for the changes in the musical landscape. With a sharp and unsparing perspective, Mordden reflects on the current state of Broadway, revealing his discontent as the curtain rises once more.
