The act of only acknowledging plays that went to Broadway already limits it to a certain demographic. The list that emerges is a fair reflection of Broadway in the past quarter century.

Ummmm... did you actually read the article?

"Of the plays we’ve singled out as the best 25 of the last 25 years — dated by their first reviews in The New York Times — only nine have ever appeared on Broadway, and none originated there."

Ah, OK. You're right, I'd missed the addition of 'Broadway' to limit the field. Thanks.

I had too, but caught it when I was called out for important vs best, another change in the subject. (Although I prefer important since it admits of a bit less vagueness though as I said they are essentially synonymous in my dictionary.)
