I think there's plenty to cheer about, particularly the fact that we've got so many new musicals (OK, they didn't all work but at least people are trying) and a good number of serious plays too, including several home-grown.

Sure, there were some omissions I was disappointed about and well as some selections I didn't didn't fully agree with, but as you point out, there was an abundance of riches in some categories.
