Order your tickets now and be the first to see the brand-new version of Broadway's musical spectacular--with new music, new scenes and a whole new take on the mind-blowing theatrical adventure. Songwriting superstars Bono & The Edge of U2 have joined forces with a new team of artists to bring this sensation to even greater heights. Be there.They had a whole month with which to fix the story, the music, the characters, the ending, the stunts and everything else, so I can't see how this could possibly go wrong. The new set of preview nights begins on May 12th, and the show really-for-real this time opens on June 14th. My only concern is this: If Bono and the Edge and the new artists are bringing this "sensation" to "greater heights," doesn't that just mean the actors are going to fall from those greater heights? Thanks to Evan P. for the tip.
It was definately time for some "divine intervention" for my favorite Marvel character Spider-man. The musical will now "Rise Above" the negative reviews because we are all on a mission to help "Spider-man Turn Off The Dark" a success on Broadway. Look forward to seeing all of the "true-believers" starting May 12th. "Wealth and fame he ignores, Action is his reward!"

This is one of the only Spider-Man things I've ever hated with a fiery, blinding fury.
I hate it SO much.. it it- the feel- it- flames- flames... Flames... on the side of my face... breathing- breath- heaving- breath...
One or more people working on this musical is suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Thats where an incompetent person is unable to realize how incompetent they are.
When you say that, do you mean "It's like Dolph Lundgren with his hair dyed black?"
"It's like John Travolta murdered my whole family?"
"It's racked up a simialr body count to Punisher: War Zone?"
And by that, I mean "As long as it remains a Grand Guignol of blood-splashed money-hemorrhaging failure, I am interested in this musical."
If it could get to the point where it's considered just a waste of money, instead of one of the most massive wastes of money in Broadway history, then I think it'll redeem itself.
At this point, I'm honestly hoping that their efforts improve the show, and it goes on to become a financial success. Because anything other than that will be boring and predictable, and I've pretty much lost all interest in the schadenfreude aspect of this debacle.
Since Taymor isn't involved in this anymore and they probably took some of the dumber things out of it, hopefully this won't be as much of a train wreck as it originally was.
In theory if they fixed the story all they have left is to make the stunts not kill people.
Of course there is no way to fix the music. I honestly want a time machine to travel back in time and just give Bono a copy of this musical and a gun. So I would either fix the problem before it starts or be the reason Bono has the songs in his head to start with.
given how every thing that has happen with this thing . and spider man turn of the dark still kept living. the new team in charge can not make the thing any worse . for spiderman turn of the dark is an unstoppable evil. it refuses to die.
Honestly, they won't be happy until this Thing kills all of the stunt-folk on Broadway.
Note to self: Googleing stories mentioned by Abraxas is probably not the wisest thing to do.
