Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark
Xoxkitkat reports on the next new thing on Broadway.
We all know the story. Young Peter Parker's life takes an unexpected twist when he is suddenly bitten by a genetically altered spider. He wakes up the next morning to find he has amazing powers and super-human abilities, thus becoming Spider-Man. Well, this classic tale has been turned into a musical and is making its way to Broadway!
There has been mixed reactions about Spider-Man being turned into a musical. When I mentioned it to some people their reactions usually weren't pretty. Some people looked like I had just spilled hot tea down their pants while simultaneously attacking their pet dog with a sledge hammer, others gave me the classic, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" whilst running away frantically in the other direction, possibly to book a flight to Antarctica and hide in a box to escape the reality of it, and some people were delighted by the idea of Spider-Man becoming a musical! Those who are opposed to this idea may feel it will ruin the original story, and some feel that Spider-Man just wasn't meant for Broadway. Before you go and have your opinion etched in stone though, you may be excited to hear that this musical production of Spider-Man has many good things going for it.
