Broadway strategist Katharine Quinn talks to innovators changing the game in the theatre industry.
The New York Times just reassigned Jesse Green, its longtime and only full-time theater critic — a move that could mark a turning point for arts journalism and Broadway coverage. But is this a thoughtful evolution… or a quiet dismantling of theater criticism as we’ve known it?
In this episode from And That’s Showbiz, Katharine Quinn is joined by two of the most insightful voices in the space: dramaturg and digital creator Kate Reinking and YouTube critic and commentator Mickey-Jo Boucher. Together, they unpack what this shift really means for the future of criticism, influence, and who gets to shape the cultural conversation.
They discuss:
- Jesse Green’s legacy — and the reviews that stuck with them (for better or worse)
- The rise of video, TikTok, and creator-driven theater commentary
- Whether the NYT is clearing space for new voices or phasing out criticism entirely
- What replaces the authority of a “Critic’s Pick” — and whether it still matters
This is an open conversation between three people who care deeply about theater and how we talk about it.
