1. Henry V (opened July 13)
2. Cymbeline (opened May 31)
3. Pirates of Penzance (opened June 1)
4. 42nd Street (opened May 29)
5. A Word or Two (opened Aug. 2)

Two shows that opened in May continue to receieve consistent attention from readers. One a musical, 42nd Street, the other Shakespeare, Cymbeline.

Pirates of Penzance, which has received the most “mixed” reviews of the 5 listed shows, continues to garner attention. I wonder if the reviews are affecting attendance.

Seana McKenna as Dolly Levi in The Matchmaker.

The Matchmaker (opened June 2), which has received consistently excellent reviews, didn’t make the list. The show is a solid piece of work, but perhaps doesn’t inspire the curiosity that drives people to search reviews.

Incidentally, over 80% of the traffic to StratfordFestivalReviews.com comes from people searching broad terms like “Stratford Festival” or “Stratford Festival Reviews”.
