How We Rank
Rankings are based on CriticScore, an aggregate of professional reviews from 400+ outlets including The New York Times, Vulture, and Variety. Top-tier outlets carry the most weight in the composite score. Each show needs a minimum number of reviews to qualify. Scores are recalculated weekly. Learn more about our methodology.
Critics are divided on van Hove's radical reimagining, which replaces Robbins' choreography with bold video projections and cuts "I Feel Pretty." Some praise its visceral energy and contemporary relevance; others find it a muddled, pretentious mess.
