Spider-Man Will Knock Your Socks Off On Broadway!
We had a lot of trepidations about seeing Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark on Broadway. We had heard so much bad buzz and the show was so fraught with real-life drama, but saw it on Saturday night and….
It was one of the most dazzling theatrical experiences we have ever seen!
And, most of that, we think, can be attributed to the bold and inspired work of Julie Taymor, who also helmed Disney’s groundbreaking Lion King stage musical.
EVERYTHING about Spider-Man worked! The music, from Bono and U2, was so beautiful and varied. It was nuanced, passionate, fun and meaningful!
The performances, especially that of Patrick Page as the Green Goblin, were great!
The sets were breathtaking! The stunts were jaw-dropping! The costumes were clever!
But, most importantly, the show was not campy or silly. It had a sense of gravitas. We bought into this world and FELT for the title character.
Plus, Spider-Man gave us a little bit of everything! It had action, romance, drama, science fiction and even comedy!
It was so spectacular!!!!
Can’t recommend it enough!!!
The only problem with the show???? It seems like it would be impossible to take on the road and tour the Broadway production!
So see it here – like it’s meant to be seen!
