The Pulitzer Prize committee has made some questionable choices over the years, including years when they awarded nothing in drama because they mistakenly thought no play was worthy (most famously, of course, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf). The Pulitzer may be a better metric than the Tony, but not by much.
OK. Not gonna argue that point. But what then is the metric? Not awards then critics? Ok. Not critics so social media? Ok. The one thing I know is that the usual cranky ATC'ers are not the metric. :-)
