TL;DR Summary

Jesse Green, the chief theater critic for The New York Times, provides an inside look at his review process as he attends a performance of "Gutenberg! The Musical!" on Broadway. Green, who has reviewed nearly 1,000 shows in his career, approaches theater criticism as a form of reporting, focusing on lines, moments, and design choices that help readers understand the show's intentions and impact. He takes notes during the performance, transcribes them afterward, and asks questions to the show's press agents while writing his review. Green's goal is to provide consistent taste and knowledge to his readers, even if they may not always agree with his opinions.
