on Jul 01 2007 05:21 PM Oh no. First Legally Blonde, then the upcoming Spiderman musical written by U2, and now this... What are they doing to Broadway?! (Reply to this) |

on Jul 01 2007 05:37 PM In reply to this comment (#871998) Please tell me the "Spider-Man" musical part was a joke. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 01 2007 08:08 PM [b]Ummm...[/b] I could actually see this working. Seriously, not really hard to turn this into a musical. I can't say the same for the upcoming Spider-Man musical, but I'm stoked either way no matter how ridiculous it may be. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 02 2007 06:16 AM In reply to this comment (#883092) I had front row center tickets, but then the show close the week before my tickets. The reviews where pretty good, but obviously the ticket sales must have been pretty bad. ...speaking of bad musical, neither "Catch Me if You Can" nor "Spiderman" could POSSIBLY be as god-awful as Lestat which I had the displeasure of seeing in Previews prior to it's 3 week run.... it wasn't my idea, I assure you.

on Jul 02 2007 06:18 AM WICKED still the best musical out there right now. If you haven't seen I highly recommend it. (Reply to this) |
on Jul 02 2007 07:01 AM [b]This will *ROCK*[/b] I don't think they're thinking big enough with 'Spider-Man' as a musical. I think they should really go for what Broadway was meant for all along and make SPAWN into a musical. Think about it; When Todd McFarlain wrote about a man ripped from the bloody maw of hell, given a demonic body and cursed powers and sent out with a satanic purpose, only to be distracted by revenge and lost passion for his wife and daughter, he was clearly thinking of a lavish Broadway production with glorious costumes, epic songs and intricately-choreographed dance numbers. ..Or Broadway and whoever else is coming up with this shit could get the righteous fuck over themselves, stop masturbating on a pile of comic books and DVD's and maybe preserve some vestige of their dignity. Okay, *maybe* I'm a little cynical, but whoever saw Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's contribution to American lore and somehow thought 'Musical' almost certainly only did it in the last five years and saw dollar signs and that makes me want to beat the shit out of something. Now back to your regularly scheduled string about 'Catch Me If You Can,' already in progress. (Reply to this) |
