The Spiderman Ride...



Okay, I give up...I can't get my picture to post for the life of me, and I can't delete my post either. Sorry! Updated On: 12/16/10 at 08:03 PM

Nope there is no such thing as bad PR and I am sure a lot of the sales stem from the curiosity factor or just the thought that it is going to be a darn good show, all that flying, scene changes, music by U2 and so forth.

I do respect others opinions, regardless, I still like to see shows for myself. Some may be critical of the book or the score, some my not mind either. I like to go to shows, mostly for the entertainment factor. I do prefer musicals over plays, but do go to both. If I like a show I will see it more then once, sometimes you catch something you missed the first time. As far as Spiderman goes, even though I am a U2 fan, I was not sure if I was going to see it. After reading about the flying acts, the changing scenes I became more interested, when the discounts became available I decided to buy and did this the day just before the first preview. I am going the end of the month, actually bought the tickets as a Christmas gift, (BTW-that show is sold out in a couple of days after the first preview). I also bought a ticket for a February show because I wanted to see what became of it after the show opened, and to view it from the flying circle. (My December seating is in the Orchestra)

They should install the Spider-Man ride from Universal Studios & be done with it.

This show is going to be another SARAVA. It'll run forever in previews and never open.

I'm willing to bet $100 that this new "(tba) February opening date" gets pushing into April.

If my dad were still alive he would have 19 nieces and nephews and 14 grand nieces and nephews

I bought tickets to Dec 22, which was the original night after opening night.

Last week I called to switch the tickets and after 2-3 minutes of explanation to the minimum wage customer service worker and 2-3 minutes on hold while he checked with whoever...he was ready to switch my tickets to any future date, any ticket same price tier.

I actually didn't choose to switch, because I was debating if I should wait longer to see the show and get a slightly better seat, or if i should go sooner before the show closed...

But I will definitely be called them back today and telling them to either give me a refund, or great seats for their best guess at night after opening day... knowing that I still might move them again.

And, if for some reason, they would have told me no. I would just dispute charges. I paid for an "official" show, not a "preview".

@musicman_bwayfan

You obviously haven't the slightest clue about Spider-Man, or you would know that "Go get 'em, Tiger", "Face it, Tiger, you've hit the jackpot", etc. are some of Mary Jane's most famous quotes from the comics.

While I respect Julie Taymor for her work on The Lion King, I have a friend that went to the preview of Spiderman and he said it was a total turn off.
I'm lost as to why they would go ahead with it if it's had very little good response. I know, you don't have to go into the logistics of it all but still... it's just not fair to Taymor.

How is it not fair to Taymor, of all people? She's hardly a victim in all this.

Did you see the picture of the train wreck earlier in the thread?

Julie was texting while driving it.

She deserves every bit of negative press.
