So basically audiences are shelling out cash just to watch them rehearse.

It's getting confusing for me, lol. I wonder what version I will be seeing end of April now?

What else is new? Washing garbage is washing garbage.

lol at least they are doing some work so know they have problems. However it would be great if they did that work whilst the show closed for a few months rather than still running which is just silly.

Yawn is right. I am so tired of reading and hearing about this piece of garbage.

If they are so eager ot be making changes how come pretty much nothing has changed since the first preview in November? I really hope this will help the show. If the show opens after this years TONYS, can it still eligible for the 2012 TONYS? I know nothing about eligibility so that's why I am asking.

By the time this opens it is going to be a straight drawing room comedy.

[ljay889]

Yes, if the show official opens after this year's Tonys, it will be eligible for the 2012 awards.

But...but...they PROMISED this was the last delay! They sworeded it!!!

So, they are only working on some of the music?

That's not the biggest problem with the show, from all accounts.

It all seems like terrible timing, because their biggest chance for profit would be the tourist crowd over the summer. If they have to close then, and reopen in another dead winter season, that's mighty inconvenient.

This just goes to prove my theory.
The only one who should fly onstage ever is Mary Martin.

Mother, make it STOP!!!

I'm thinking this delay will basically kill it. How much more are people willing to take?

They should have ironed this out years ago.

[broadwayjim42]

Posted: 2/21/11 at 6:21pm

Seriously. What the hell were they doing during the first year-long delay?

[jennafan]

Posted: 2/21/11 at 6:21pm

Well, they got a good PR team.. Dragging it out as much as possible with an article being written (at least monthly) about each extension? Pricess.

On top of that, if the show improves in any way after opening (and you KNOW critics will review it), there's more press and if someone writes that it's better after opening.. There are Spider-Man's "positive reviews."

The show is cr@p and it has the worst.director.ever.

Julie's ego is huge and I am getting SO sick of her.

Grrrr. And I finally caved and bought tickets to this Fridays performance.

I'm sure Julie was designing more masks.

"Julie, your book sucks.."
"NO. WE JUST NEED MORE MASKS. MORE FLYING."
"But.."
"PUPPETS! COSTUMES! FLYING!"

God ... can't the government intercede and just close the damn thing?

[fingerlakessinger]

Posted: 2/21/11 at 6:24pm

I dont even think they are working a lot on the music itself. It seems if they are ironing out more of the "Sound" issues and stuff (making the balance better)
i'm sure they wont be changing to much to the show itself

I'll tell ya one thing that hasn't changed in all this Spidey chaos: I still have zero desire to ever see it.

Call me crazy, but I'm a sucker for a good story and score.
