Hey KingSpeed aka Spider-Man musical

[DUB]

It's not a movie. It's a new Julie Taymor Broadway musical with music by Bono and The Edge. Most expensive Broadway show ever. Will be huge colossal hit or the most epic flop of all time. I was gonna go to the Nets game but then decided to be a part of theater history instead. I'll always be able to say I was there when it started.

Did you end up seeing this?

First 'Spider-Man' preview filled with problems

Not even Spider-Man could avert this disaster.

Last night's opening pre view of Broadway's most expensive production ever, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," was an epic flop as the $65 million show's high-tech gadgetry went completely awry amid a dull score and baffling script, theatergoers griped.

Stunned audience members were left scratching their heads over the confusing plot -- when they weren't ducking for cover from falling equipment and dangling actors at the Foxwoods Theatre on West 42nd Street, some said.

At various points, overhead stage wires dropped on the audience, scenery appeared on stage missing pieces -- and the show's star was even left swaying helplessly over them midair during what was supposed to be the climatic end to the first act.

Yes. There were lots of technical problems as was to be expected, including a moment in which Spiderman was hanging over the audience and they couldn't reach him to put him back on the stage while working on a glitch. It wasn't as bad as my partner and friends thought (they hated it) but it definitely needed work in every department. The flying sequences, when they worked, were pretty cool. He jumps from the stage to the balcony! I hope to see it again after they've worked out all the kinks. They've pushed the official opening to Feb 7th. People have been getting seriously injured so it's getting to be a bit scary. I hope they work everything out and it becomes a solid piece of entertainment at the very least.
