Star Ratings

Friday, 27 March 2009 17:06

Broadway Baby uses a simple system of stars to indicate how good a show is. Below is a guide to how we rate and review productions. If you're writing your own review for Broadway Baby, please follow these guidelines so everyone can judge by (roughly) the same standard. Everything is not 5-Star or 1-Star!

One Star

Chances are, that if it only gets one star, it generally means the show was weak in all areas including acting, directing and production. Don't expect to come away entertained.

Two Stars

If a show is considered Two Star, it's likely that something is letting it down. It could be a great script, poorly delivered; or strong performances of weak material.

Three Stars

Three Stars sits in the middle of our reviewing spectrum. The show was "OK"; expect the production to be satisfying without blowing your socks off.

Four Stars

A Four Star review is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Four Stars means this production excels in at least one or more main aspect. Expect to see a great show.

Five Stars

Any show that gets Five Stars has got it all. This rating means everything about the production was excellent. A Five Star show is the sort of show that will be selling out, if it isn't already, so get a ticket early.
