Great list folks! Some fascinating underdogs up there, which I was hoping might happen. However, as much fun as Shrew is, I really can't see it being better than Twelfth Night. I wish those two would swap.

Shrew seems to be a little more widely read, judging by the number of rankings. Have to see if Twelfth Night goes up with more voters.
I agree. Shrew is massively performed and read, and that seems to be the factor between the two. But I've always found that audiences, readers, and performers who know both prefer Twelfth Night. If my math is correct, Twelfth Night has a higher average rating on this list as well.
