Broadway Scorecard
Every show. Every review. One score.
broadwayscorecard.com
Broadway Scorecard aggregates critic reviews from 420+ outlets and 870+ critics to generate a single composite score for every Broadway show. Scores are tier-weighted — major national publications carry more weight than niche blogs — producing a reliable signal for theatergoers deciding what to see.

How Scoring Works
Each review is scored on a 0–100 scale and assigned a tier based on the outlet's reach and editorial standards. The composite score is a weighted average across tiers, ensuring that a rave in the New York Times counts more than a blog post — but every review still contributes.
Score tiers at a glance:
| Range | Label | Meaning |
|---|
| 83–100 | Critical Gold | Drop-everything great |
| 75–82 | Recommended | Strong choice for most people |
| 65–74 | Worth Seeing | Good, with caveats |
| 55–64 | Skippable | Fine to miss |
| < 55 | Critical Miss | Not recommended |
