It’s incredibly hard to find only 50 things to love about theater in New York. We could name hundreds of actors, playwrights, directors and companies that deserve a standing O for enriching our playgoing lives. Here you’ll find a cross section of what’s great about the scene, from Broadway to Off-Off, as well as our picks for future legends—the artists we’ll be talking about decades from now. To paraphrase Oscar Hammerstein II, these are just a few of our favorite things.—Edited by David Cote and Adam Feldman
