NEWSDAY, the Long Island daily newspaper features SPIDERMAN on its front page today and reviews the show in its main section. I don't recall them doing that for any other Broadway show.

Must be a slow news day.

Well it's hardly a typical Broadway mounting. NBC Nightly News covered the opening (and reviews) this evening too.

Heck, my local RADIO station mentioned in the news broadcast this AM -- it was only one line, but I'm sure they've never mentioned anothere b'way opening.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

The Lion King's opening night (and rave review) was covered on the front page of the NY Daily News when it opened. That's the last time I remember something like that happening.

I recall the NY Times putting MISS SAIGON on the front page (under the fold) 'way back when. However, Newsday is a Long Island paper and the local critic gives little more than plot summaries when he reviews productions out here.

The Newsday critic is a female, though I agree that her reviews are awful.

The opening of Spiderman was also covered by the news media in Australia. One station opened with "Grover as Spidemonster" and went from there!

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

I don't get the paper everyday, but I do check the online site for the paper daily. They have been following the show like crazy. There are three articles this week that have been headlining the arts page online all week.

Linda Winer is their Main Line theater critic. I don't always agree with her viewpoint but she writes well. The LOCAL critic is Steve Parks, who not only has a terrible speech impediment, but frequently gives nothing more than a plot summary of the shows he's reviewing. If we're lucky, we might get a description of his drive to the theater--anything to fill space.
