Making the Grade

After an interesting panel discussion yesterday, the moderator (who happens to be a well known theatre critic), mentioned a website that peaked my interest.
StageGrade is exactly what it sounds like: a website that gives “grades” to the shows currently on offer in NYC. It takes the reviews that are out on a show, giving a short synopsis of each (including the name of the reviewer and the media outlet they represent), and “averages” them. Shows can get A’s or D-’s (that was the lowest I saw).
For easy access to the shows on the site, they are listed on a left hand navigation bar, with their grades alongside them. Just click on a link and presto, access to the reviews for that show.
Even if you don’t end up paying attention to the grading feature, it’s a valuable resource as a review aggregator.

PS — Another review-centric site you might like is “Did He Like It“.
