Is anyone seeing SPIDER-MAN tonight? (First show back after "revamp.")

This is like deja vu all over again. Can't wait to hear reports.

I can't imagine it could have gotten any worse....

I will be there. I hope I don't regret the decision...hahha

I keep thinking about when I walk my dog...whether it is one 'log' or in several 'nuggets', it is still the same.

Eager to find that I am wrong and this is the most amazing resurrection since 33AD

According to Playbill:

"The Myth of Arachne," (New Song, replacing Splash Page)
"Behold and Wonder,"
"Bullying by Numbers,"
"No More,"
"D.I.Y. World,"
"Bouncing Off the Walls,"
"Rise Above,"
"Pull the Trigger,"
"Picture This,"
"A Freak Like Me," (New song, Green Goblin?)
"If the World Should End," (In Act One? This seems odd...)
"Sinistereo," (Moved Earlier)
"Spider-Man!," (Replacing SpiderMan Rising?)
"Turn Off the Dark,"
"I Just Can't Walk Away,"
"Think Again,"
"The Boy Falls From the Sky,"
"I'll Take Manhattan" (Moved)
"Finale – A New Dawn." (New Song)

So, at least they definately cut Deeply Furious, and I'm so happy they're keeping Turn Off The Dark. Perhaps they're leaving Arachnae as osmething of a villain and having her team up wih Goblin? Or maybe she's an additional love interest? Or just Madame Webb esque...

I will be there...

Looks like America Olivo (Arachne u/s) has left the cast and Megan Lewis has replaced her. Joey Taranto (from Rock of Ages) has also joined the cast as a swing.

Nope..sad because Alice Lee and Gideon Glick are great..Don't know the other Geek Chorus as well.

I saw this show over Spring Break and thought it was better than most people said, but not nearly as good as it could have been with the talent they had on stage (Love Jennifer)
I wish I could afford to go back and see all the changes. Hopefully they made this show as good as it had the potential to be.

Yeah I saw the Spiderman 1.0 back in December and I absolutely hated it for the most part because of story structure and some of the music....but there were still elements in the show that was just awesome theatre. I'm a little weary that Arachne is still included in the show but hopefully her storline is reined back a bit as the Times said she's a guardian angel now....so we shall see...I'm definitely seeing it again though

Is her name still on the big banner? I looked about a week ago and it still was. I wanted to walk by last night but I was over the crowd in Times Square and cut over to 8th.

Patrick Healy has the new title page in the Times today:

Philip Wm. McKinley is billed as "Creative Consultant." Julie Taymor gets "Original Direction by" and is still billed as an author of the book along with Glen Berger and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.

I'm no longer seeing it tonight, but when I was dropping my ticket off at the box office this morning noticed two things:

1- for those who are curious, they are still doing their rush; $30, cash only
2- people on line were being interviewed; didn't catch for which publication though

So, I guess the big Spidey-Goblin fight is the show's finale now...

Hope I'm able to see this!
