I can't wait to see it again Friday night!!! I relish in everything Spiderman. My friends, family, and new acquaintances are already over listening to me talk about the constant barrage of news stories that keep bubbling out of this gem.
Like it or not, whether the show is a critical hit or a flop, I won't count it out just yet. In the world of 24 hour news, this show has been very lucky to receive countless amounts of press. While the press may not be great, it's still free press.
Furthermore, the show recently got both the Carson Daily (is he even still relevant) and the Oprah Winfrey seal of approval (oh yeah and that Glen Beck guy ranting that our negative impressions were a liberal conspiracy).
As long as this show runs, I will make everyone I know go see it. Admittedly, I'm selling it as a once-in-a-lifetime theatrical event. This is the type of show legends are made of.
I see a book in the near future titled, "Not Since Spiderman" (taken from the famous book "Not Since Carrie" about the history of Broadway flops).
At the same time, I'm going in one of the hardest seasons for Broadway to sell tickets, and getting good seats was hard to do.
All I can say, is that if you're there on Friday night, say hi! I'll be sitting in Left part of the flying circle (second row) enjoying every second of the show! (and probably inappropriately laughing in a couple of places!!!)
