I wonder how Spider-Man will be flying around, will he go above the audience? It would be cool if in the first scene with spider-man, he flies from the back of the audience to the stage. That's probably unlikely, but I think with the right direction, this could be good.

The Hilton is doing inner renovations between now and opening, including changing the slope of the house and adding fly lines all around the theater, including the back of the house.

I'm excited for this, mostly because I'm a huge U2 fan. I can't wait to hear the music. And I'm betting the visual spectacle of it will be pretty amazing.

Maybe they held off on using "Spiderman" in the title cause there might be a revival of Kiss of the Spider Woman!!! jk

Umm, this is my DREAM COME TRUE.

U2...check!
Julie Taymour...check!
Spiderman...check!

C'mon people, no one thought "The Lion King" would work on stage either!

In this economy, should we waste these $40,000,000?? Sounds interesting, but right now I feel like "wait and see." Maybe do a stripped-down out of town.

'How wrong you are, Mr. Flashdance'

wrong about what?
The fact that people were slagging off Xanadu before it opened (well they were) or the fact that not one person has heard any of it etc? But don't tell me Charleston...you have haven't you? just like you have seen every other show, eve the ones not in your country like Flashdance, you have somehow heard and seen Spiderman lolol

Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna

Songandanceman, TheCharlsteon is just like that. He bad mouthed '13' to no end and never even saw it... I wouldn't be surprised if he/she did that for many other shows.

I have seen "13" and sat in on a closed workshop of the SPIDER-MAN music.

Thanks for playing. Come again.

Brave Sir Robin, you seem to think that spending money is bad for the economy.

$137.00? I hope it flops, seriously. How dare they.

They should revive the Superman musical and have Superman and Spider Man play simotaniously. Or is there one of those stupid Disney rules where you're not allowed to have two superheros on Broadway at the same time?

I still think Batman is the only comics character that would really make a fantastic musical. But maybe that should have been left to the ALW era. I do love the Superman score, though it would be pretty irrelevant to most if revived today.

does anyone know what the storyline is going to be for this musical??

The idea of this show makes me ill!!! This could be the most expensive flop in Broadway history. They are adding about 200 more seats in to the Hilton for this piece of .... show.

None of you (except for Charlie) has SEEN the goddamn thing. Jesus. You all preach about "saving broadway" but then when an established-title musical with an amazing pedigree (I'm looking at you too, Shrek bashers) comes along, all you do is hope it'll close. Does Broadway need ANOTHER expensive flop?

Tickets to BILLY ELLIOT are $136.50.

Where are your posts saying "How dare they?"

Or is that extra fifty cents what makes them cross the line?
