Posted: 12/15/10 at 6:43pmYeah heard it's being pushed back till Feb 30 !
#5Spiderman Opening Delayed Again?
Posted: 12/15/10 at 6:45pmWow, the 30th?! That is one long preview period.
#6Spiderman Opening Delayed Again?
Posted: 12/15/10 at 7:15pmHmm. Considering February has 28 days, I can only guess that means February 2030?

HAHAHA I fell for that one toooooooo :)
Well..maybe we can take this as a good sign. This gives us hope that they realize that the show is a hot train wreck and they need to push the opening back...why they didnt realize this 8 years ago when they started work on it I will never know, but it's somewhat of a good sign...right?

It's the preview that will never end

Julie started showing them
not thinking it was bad

Maybe they are shooting for the anniversary of their original opening date? Or maybe the original preview begining date.
#13Spiderman Opening Delayed Again?
Posted: 12/15/10 at 8:56pmThat's it! They have actually not been 'delaying' the original opening; they've just been pushing it back so that it will fall on the actual opening date. It was never February 2010, it was always February 2011! Everyone was just always getting it wrong! See! We've cracked the case! I tell you, that Julie is a tricky one.
#14Spiderman Opening Delayed Again?
Posted: 12/15/10 at 9:03pmMaybe they should aim for an April 1st opening.
#15Spiderman Opening Delayed Again?
Posted: 12/15/10 at 9:38pmThey are shooting for Bobbi Boland's opening date I tell ya!
#16Spiderman Opening Delayed Again?
Posted: 12/15/10 at 9:43pmI wonder if they'll open in time for the Tony's. Anyone know the longest a show had previews for before it finally opened?? 3 months(or more) is quite long for previews.
#17Spiderman Opening Delayed Again?
Posted: 12/15/10 at 9:54pmWell, a great deal of big musicals preview out of town for a period sometimes around 2+ months, so I guess this is just its penance for not going out of town first like most shows.

Could be wrong but I think "Merlin" still holds the record or previews with 69. (OUTTA THAT GUTTER RIGHT NOW!!!) I suspect this could be the most likely contender to break that record .
Micheal Cohl ain't known for his creative generosity so I think that at a certain point there will be an event that will require a big insurance claim.
But thas jes me.

Hold up, wait a minute...
This is coming from the Hollywood Reporter - not quite a bastian of excellent journalisim -- im just sayin' its coming from a quote from a former producer of the show...

Posted: 12/15/10 at 11:39pmIt will never open & preview forever. Remember you heard it here first.
#23Spiderman Opening Delayed Again?
Posted: 12/16/10 at 1:58amI agree with fingerlakessinger. This is a good indicator that they want to make changes and have time tomake the shoe the best it can be. At this point though, I don't know what's best.
