In the naaammee ooff $65 million buck$ , the SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK Broadway musical , now fully de-Traynored , opens tonite on The Gaudy White Way .
Yes , the " another OPENIN'..." part of a certain Cole Porter song finally comes thru !
We don't appear to have an actual thread dedicated to this , so...........
It's a bit past 4 PM here on the West Coast , I think , so the I-believe 8 P. M. opening of SMTOTD would be approaching at the Foxwoods Theater ( Is that associated with the Indian tribally-owned Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut ? ) , so.........
.
Perhaps these sources might provide some video , even live , of the outside hubbub/opening party . The Times has a lotta recnt articles about the new show , too , covering Traynor's angle , Bono and Edge's version of the whole mishagosh , the lead actors' imputs and more .
The opening version apparently " strengthens up the last act " much and abandons entirely?? the Geek Chorus at at least much of the backgound of the show's Ariana?? The Traynor version had had an entirely new female villian , IIRC , and a suit for the Green Goblin that rereceived " WTF ? " reactions...It seemed , um , kind of " interesting " to me.........Any sandbags headed to fall down on peoples' heads or weighted curtains before fires , as Mysterio declaims ?
