You can’t really say it’s getting ridiculous over at Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark—this thing basically started ridiculous. But the absurdity’s only increasing: the producers are bumping Spider-Man’s official “opening” date to March 15—four months after it was originally scheduled to debut. And since they’re not giving refunds or rebates to the folks now forced to watch unfinished “preview” performances, Spider-Man beat Wicked as the biggest moneymaker on Broadway last week. That feels doubly crazy if you didn’t realize Wicked was still reigning supreme more than seven years into its run.
And when we say Spider-Man is unfinished, we mean unfinished: despite the years of pre-production and months of preview performances, they still haven’t performed the ending! “The actual ending that we have planned is still not in the show,” said producer Michael Cohl. “Nobody’s seen it?including us, by the way.” So why are customers seeing full prices, buddy? Oh, right, because this is the most expensive musical in history. Maybe they’d be better off never “opening” at all.
