so even after it opens tonight Spiderman still will technically not be frozen?

I say this after reading the following quote in a NY Times article

"Even now, Bono and the Edge said, the musical is just 90 percent complete, with a final 10 percent of work — in their view, chiefly involving the relationship between Peter Parker and the villain, the Green Goblin — to be done this summer."

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!

So Bono will invest in The Spotted Pig, but not his own show? Odd.

In my opinion, at this point he is just making excuses. Weren't Bono and the Edge around during the show's down time?

For all that work, Bono added, he felt artistically “impotent” at times and did not love the show until a preview performance late last month.

God almighty. The picture accompanying that Times article makes them look like teeny tiny midgets in way over their heads. Impotent is the word. I thought they both came off like dix on the Tonys, usually I find The Edge leavens Bono's Bononess, but not that night. They should have known from the very beginning, when Larry and Adam laughed the notion of recording the songs as U2 ("That's more of a Bono and Edge thing," I recall them telling Rolling Stone) that they didn't have anything. I guess if they could've gotten the thing up and running during the head of steam they built up during "All That You Can't Leave Behind" and "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" they could have ridden the wave of goodwill. But at this point I think they have completely deflated themselves.

---

Kind of a stupid move on their part to say that before the critics publish their reviews.

And why on earth would Bono say he hated it but finally kind of liked a performance two weeks ago? Shouldn't he be saying how it kept improving, not that it totally sucked but they took the public's money and now it's at least better?
