I had the opportunity to see Spiderman, Turn Off the Dark last week. I fully expected it to be awful, and in some ways, I wasn't disappointed; however, I don't think its quite the train wreck the media would have us believe. The truth is, it's not exactly a musical. It's something else.
If The Book of Mormon is a five star restuarant, then Spiderman is Dave and Busters. The food's not great, the service is meh, but it's still pretty cool. You don't go there for an exquisite restuarant (or musical) experience, you go because it's a whole lot of fun. It's flashy and cheesy and totally indulgent. Because of this, I think this show just might have a chance.
The show opens on Tuesday... do you think you'll go to see it?
