"With the rapid fire succession of openings this spring no show has really "caught' on in a way because the attention so quickly shifts to the show opening the next day." Thank you for articulating what I think is the main issue here. It's not about how overworked the critics are, it's about the split focus among potential audiences that occurs when three of four shows open each week over a period of three or four weeks. Yes, of course, the hits can still become hits under these circumstances, and the flops probably would have been flops anyway. But I still think, in an ideal situation, it would be much better if audiences had more of a chance to process the reviews and publicity attending each opening before moving on to the next one the following night, and the next one two nights later, and so on.
