I am one of the few people who actually enjoyed the original version of Spiderman. Well the music did and still does need a major overhaul
That being said..the new version is horrible. Every thing that was good (and Dark) about the show has been removed and replaced with fluff. The few elements of Julie that still remain are the high points. (Boy Falls From the Sky and Turn Off the dark) The show originally had a great opening with spiderman running on the bridge..now it opens with some lame dialogue meant to educate the audience.
Patrick Page unfortunetly has been given an overabundance of stage time and lame jokes.
The character of Arachne should have been removed entirely seeing that the character has no use in the new version.
The so called love swtory falls flat.
Spiderman makes one appearance in act one?
Act 2 picks up the pace but the whole show just feels "SAFE" now.
I believed Spiderman could have become something great. It was dark and brooding. Now its family fair done very poorly.
Julie Taymor commented that the show is simpler now. Applause to you Julie that was a classy way to say that the show is just a bore. I agree that the producer took the art out of the show and replaced it with everything the critics wanted. Hence, you have a piece of trash for a show just like the critics themselves.
Anyone who listens or bases their opinions on someone elses judgements. Should just stay home in their own little world.
