theatrical criticism

Theatrical criticism is the practice of evaluating and analyzing live performances, such as plays and musicals. Critics assess various elements, including acting, direction, writing, staging, and overall production quality. Their reviews help audiences decide what to see and provide insights into the artistic intentions behind a performance. Additionally, theatrical criticism can influence the success of productions and the careers of artists. Critics often convey their thoughts through articles, blogs, and reviews, aiming to inform, engage, and provoke thought among theatergoers and the broader artistic community.
