Hmm...I thought I'd heard something else was eyeing the Marquis. Guess I'm misremembering.
I think if anything was official they would of announced it by now
I think if this were official, this thread would've been deleted.
Wait...9 to 5 is closing?
As someone else said, I won't believe it until there's an official announcement, plus this project is far too high profile to scrap like this now.
I believe Minskys is eyeing the Marquis.

Well that's disappointing, if it's true.
Yes, the idea of a Spiderman musical seems rather ridiculous, but I am/was convinced that Julie Taymor could make it not suck, the woman's amazing.
Or, at least, the fact that she's involved made it so I didn't automatically judge it and assume that it would suck.

Maybe "The War Horse" can make its transfer from London at the Hilton. It is an independent theatre after all.
Even though I wasn't excited for the actual show I really wanted to see it just for the reason of what can Julie Taymor do with 45 million dollars.
"One. Two. Three. Julie Taymor: What would you with 45 mill, just between you and me."

Answer: Piss it away on heartless spectacle.
Well, it's 8:50am EST and the thread is still here
I don't think the whole project is scrapped but there was a segment on ABC during the 5pm or 6pm news saying that Spider Mad was definitely in trouble financially but no where in the piece that I saw did they mention it was officially off.

There is still no confirmation yet. I think this project is safe.
Maybe they will move the project to Vegas?
If Agents and Managers have been told to release their clients for work,it doesn't necessarily mean that the show is off. It could just be postponed. I do know that the first preview has been pushed.

It was moved from January to the end of February awhile ago. Has it been pushed back again?

On Broadway postponed = canceled.
Rolling Stone just posted a story saying it's on hold...
?Spider-Man? Musical Suspended By ?Cash Flow Problem?
And they still say it's going to make its February 25th date?
Wishful Drinking..
Uh, thinking...
Well, I can't say I was excited about the SHOW, but I was excited to hear what the score sounded like. U2 is awesome.
Has anyone been by the theatre today (Tuesday)?
Any activity?

I walked by the Hilton today, and nothing was going on. Usually (like the two times I have walked by and noticed), they have had the loading doors open and a lot of construction going on, but nothing today, and the signs are still up.
(On a side note: I hate the marquee for "After Miss Julie." Lame!!)
