They just posted a brand new video on their Facebook fan page. It shows quick glimpses of the show, rehearsal and the costume. Something about the Spidey costume throws me off a bit. Not sure what it is.

The move at the end of the video is the one that the actor injured his wrists.

Have to agree that that looked spectacular.

They need to get that video into their advertising cycle asap because watching that was the first time that I've felt that this could actually really work.

It looks great. I hope it is! The thing I'm most excited about is Patrick Page's performance. He's always great.

Did they gut out the theatre??

I wish we could hear some more music besides the same damn chords over & over.

It really would be great to hear more than the chorus/bridge of "Boy Falls From the Sky." They're either hiding some mind-blowing rock theater or terrible pop drivel and I'm wondering which it is.

Not sure what to think of the eight-legged dance imagery or that career-ending stunt set-up. Or Peter Parker having an aversion to sleeves and a love of suspenders. That seems really out of character.

the spiderman visuals work, I just wish the assorted harnesses were less visible. I still have massive doubts in regards to just about everything to do with the villains.

Okay, I'm feeling a little more comfortable with this now that I kinda have an idea about it. The stunts look pretty awesome.

Looks like Carney's own clothes/he's not in costume.

Everything seen actually looks pretty good...

...except for the actresses with manequin legs... right now it kindda looks like some kinky sex doll scene... maybe the costumes will fix this somehow?

Somewhat unrelated comment - I recently saw the new production of RHEINGOLD at the Metropolitan Opera. The still photographs made some of the high profile anti-gravity visual effects look very dramatic but in live production you SEE the ropes, and the harnesses, so there isn't really any visual magic unless you like seeing people pulled around on wires. If you see the physical contraptions, you never for a moment believe these are people who can "fly." So good luck, SPIDERMAN -

You know, as a comic book fan, that actually made me really, really excited. I'm glad that they're FINALLY trickling out a little real idea of what this show will be; it's a lot easier and more fun to bash it when you don't know. We haven't heard anything of the score, really, and I'm very skeptical. But those few little guitar riffs that they've played since the website went up are memorable and a little goosebump-inducing. No matter what happens with this show, whether it's Carrie or Wicked on larger financial scales, it's gonna be history. And I can't wait.

Say what you want about the integrity of the show, the score, the story, the direction, etc. But regardless of what happens or how long this runs, it's going to be absolutely epic, visually. I've said it from day one: I cannot wait to see this.

I must say that this looks like a spectacular show. The flying effects look phenomenal and I love the set.

This has got to be the most positive thread on this show. Ever.

They do this with movies too. How many times have you seen what looks to be a dynamite movie in a preview and when you actually see the film it's meh? Still not impressed. It does look a bit pretentious but then again it is Taymor.

I was joking about the shirts. They quite clearly show the average Joe costume in the video and it looks good.

Well, I'm excited!

Well, for 65 mil it better look good.

I really don't get how this looks pretentious.
