60 Minutes seems to only have the previews up. Maybe because it is just starting here in the mountain timezone and still has to show on the west coast.
Those graphics on that curtain belong on a t-shirt.
Okay, I am torn by the 60 Min. piece.
No artist should ever have to defend the price she/he paid to make art.
Now lets talk about Spiderman.
How many MILLIONS? The weekly nut is ONE MILLION? It looks like something more suited for Madison Square Garden or a tent pitched in the parking lot of Ikea than something suited for a Broadway stage.
Do the actors sing live in this show? If so, how would we know?
Why spend so much time on the filming all the villains FOR A FREAKING PLAY! I don't want to see a movie when I am in a live theatre.
I don't like anything flying directly over my head. I even got nervous at Slava's Snow Show. Of course, I was wearing my best suit and had just had my hair done, but still...
I would see it. For $50.00.
Has anyone gotten hit in the head yet? Or had anyone fall in their lap? I won't see if if those things don't happen.

Sueleengay: Seems like you're forming some awfully firm conclusions just from a 60 minutes preview piece.

Sueleen, then don't go.
I don't like ALW's music, so I don't go.
Just because it's not your cup of tea at all doesn't mean it's wrong.
Here is the 60 Minutes piece:

On the curtain they did a good job of making the web fluid look less spoogey. The posters that were hanging outside the theater looked like Spidey had just finished up.

HA! eww!
On the 60 Minutes piece, did anyone else notice in the final montage that Reeve sounded pretty weak in singing? Maybe it was just cause he was paired up against Bono, but I was very unimpressed.
anybody know the current status of the performance?
its obviously behind schedule, but is it in the middle of a glitch? or is the show runing toward intermission. I CANNOT WAIT FOR INTERMISSION.

they're probably still in ACT 1. I haven't seen any twitter updates since the glitch ...

Music undeniably u2 sounding. Edge riffs woven beautifully in score. Rise above phenomenal. So far the story is slow and some parts hokey

The sets are incredible at @SpideyOnBway. There's a lot of comic book type stuff and some really cool forced perspectives.

Acrobatics have wow factor. Green goblin like macphisto on steroids. Visuals undeniably taymor.
