Bono disses Spiderman.. — Page 2

I went with a friend to see it again last night. The ticket was free and as much as I hated it the first time I was curious to see what changes were made.
At least it makes sense now. And the fact that the book is at least comprehensible (which is still the best praise I can give it) really does let you appreciate Taymor's visuals more.
However...it doesn't change the fact that the music is god awful. Much of it is embarassing and cringe worthy. Bullying By Numbers, Freak Like Me, Spider-Man!, D.I.Y. World all have to add up to some of the worst music written for the stage.
And the refusal to change the music is what's going to end up killing the show. Because if it had a passable score it would be a hit.

Erik--I saw it Friday night! We keep missing each other.

"Once they 'sold out' and jumped on the cash bandwagon with the "Zoo-station" Tour and created songs like 'Lemon' and bolstered their tours to become a visual experience with lavish sets and screens..."

This is the funniest thing I've read in a while.
