Around about now I would have published the annual Chrissies Awards for best in 2020 theatre but in this time of COVID that is impossible to do. So I thought why not look further back than a mere 12 months?
l started blogging in the 2000s so if you want to see them just search this blog for Chrissies... what follows here are like the Chrissies All-Stars.
Here is a remembrance of the 2010s - the names in bold are those no longer with us:
