It does look phenomenal.

Posted: 11/24/10 at 12:46pmI am breathless with anticipation. Have been for years. It may ultimately fail and go down in a blaze of glory, but whatever it is, it will be amazing.

Wow, sounds like this will be just as schizophrenic as The Lion King.
You will have the Spiderman Mythology on one hand and Taymor's pretentious additions on the other. Spiderman's universe doesn't need the interwoven Greek Mythology.
Just as The Lion King had absolutely no emotion in Do You Feel the Love Tonight, trading the concept of young love for a Taymor fashion show complete with copulating Africans on wires, so too I fear will this show.

"For Ms. Taymor, delaying preview performances further — they were supposed to begin on Nov. 14 — is not an option. “Delaying just costs too much money, too much money, too much money,” she said."
Julie Taymor said THAT? I wasn't aware that she was familiar with that concept.

Posted: 11/24/10 at 1:55pmI see that 60 MINUTES is airing a piece on the show this Sunday. That might be interesting.

Posted: 11/24/10 at 2:14pmJust two months ago, who would have thought that SPIDER-MAN was shaping up to look better than WOMEN ON THE VERGE. Funny.

Posted: 11/24/10 at 2:43pmi think this is one show that won't get that many celebrity stunt casting given the amount of work the actor would have to put in.

Posted: 11/24/10 at 3:13pmThe show itself is all the celebrity stunt casting it needs.

There are several videos with all of Boy Falls from the Sky on youtube. (The one with those same chords) I think it sounds pretty darn good-

Posted: 11/24/10 at 11:25pmAs a cynic of the show from its early development, I got to admit it looks visually spectacular. How the rest fits will be interesting to see. Cannot wait for the upcoming 60 Minutes episode.
