Well that list is just awful. They put Grace on their list, and Annie? But no Whale? 3000 Miles is awful.

No. Richard Zoglin is Time's theatre critic; he writes the list.

Once was off-Broadway in 2011, so it made a lot of the 2011 lists.

What a bizarre list- and pretty skewed to the last few months. And Louis CK? What?
New York Magazine's list is as follows (it cheats and lumps some productions together in groups). It's far more diverse.
1. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
2. Tribes
3. Sorry
4. Death of a Salesman
5. Cock
6. "The black box conjurations" (We are proud to present... , Blood Play, Samuel and Alasdair: a Personal History of the Robot War)
7. Detroit
8. Uncle Vanya (Annie Baker)
9. "The unmusicals" (Peter and the Starcatcher, Two Guvnors, Old Man and the Moon, Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812)
10. Clybourne Park

Each list this year includes a big trolling choice. In a year with The Three Stooges, Piranha 3DD, and That's My Boy, the film critic in charge of the Worst Films list chose Cloud Atlas as the absolute worst of the year. The Fiction critic included J.K. Rowling's first adult novel even though the actual review in Time was cold. The song list included Pussy Riot shouting about Putin and Mary even after the quality of their music was written off in favor of the political message.
I could go on. They're aiming for clicks and the one wtf? choice on each list will do them nicely.
