Suddenly, Everyone's A Blogger

Perhaps it was inevitable that the "Gray Lady" would finally succumb. After all, noted critics like The Wall Street Journal's Terry Teachout have been on the leading edge of the blogosphere by posting stories since 2003.

But yesterday, The New York Times' very own theatre critic Ben Brantley began his unique online journey....in London. Brantley will be haunting West End theatres over the course of the next 21 days to see a whopping 28 shows.

Mused one John Walker, who commented on Brantley's first post (yes! you can actually finally fire back at New York's most controversial critic) , "28 shows in 21 days? You won’t have time to reflect on any of the ideas / issues properly. I suggest one show every two or three days."

Welcome to the blogosphere, Ben, where everyone's a critic!

This is Steve On Broadway (SOB).
