What happened to that Spider-Man musical?

To answer those questions, read your username. It was supposed to start previews last month, but it had money issues and is delayed at least until the summer. It cost over $45 million to produce, and it had operating costs over $900,000 per week, meaning it would have to sell out for five years to just break even.

I hear the guy playing the janitor changing a lightbulb is Tony material!

No one has heard any of the music either... not even a demo. It's possible that it was never even written yet.

Drunk Chita Rivera, I know I can't judge the content, I meant that financially, it is a train wreck. It is extremely expensive and is having monetary issues.

Trainwrck, to elaborate on what I guess you missed, back in August, they had to stop working on the theater because of big issues with cash and that was when all this news broke of how expensive the show is and how unlikely it is for the show to recoup, which probably didn't help with finding new investors. A week later, they continued work as rumors of the show being delayed grew. A few weeks before previews were supposed to start, they announced that they would try to open in the summer.

There is a small amount of music on the Spider-Man website & I love it. It's really nothing to base the show off of but whatever.

I am fairly certain that we'll see Spider-man. I suspect it will be revised to be financially more feasible, but I think it will happen.

In order for it to be financially stable, they should just use ragtimes "scaled down" set. heh heh.
