This just in from the Spidey team:
Apparently getting cold feet after Sunday's performance, work has begun on Spiderman's sequel that will slowly start to interpolate with the show after opening. On February 25th, most of the changes will be in place and a second opening night will occur. The working title, "Spider Man II: Susan Boyle's Big Adventure", will focus on the rise of Susan Boyle. Most of the current set and technical aspects will remain in place.
The show will feature music and lyrics by Sting and The Police and Broadway veteran Liza Minnelli will come in to direct the piece.
The production team is tight lipped around many details at the moment, but briefly described the elaborate opening sequence featuring Cherubs "peeing" golden pee in a web over the audience only to find Susan Boyle sitting on the toilet in her scummy apartment. After her fame ensues, Boyle will end up being given the title of Queen and will end up sitting on a giant animatronic pyrotechnic flying throne that also resembles a toilet. The show will feature an elaborate closing number where Boyle, from her throne, gives the world the gift of chocolate that can only be described as the "best musical number in the history of the Broadway musical" (note: the number has not been written yet). Liza stated, but was quickly quieted by the producers, that the number is a metaphor for how not only Spiderman has literally taken a giant **** (poop) on the Broadway community but Boyle also doing the same thing to the public.
A hologram of Judy Garland "may" make an appearance as well. Apparently in the same place Liza had kept the only reel of "Liza With A Z" is hours of holographic footage of her late mother.
The hope is to salvage the show, which is already failed to flop-dom, and in turn produce Broadway's first successful musical sequel. When asked what the cost of the new incarnation will cost, Liza only could comment. "Who wants to see a $65 million dollar Susan Boyle spectacular? I don't." The budget is apparently set at $85 million.
