Can 'Spider-Man' the musical survive a nasty drubbing by critics? - CSMonitor.com
The Hollywood Reporter describes “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” as chaotic, dull, and silly, and it calls the music “strictly album filler.” The Los Angeles Times says the show is “a teetering colossus that can't find its bearings as a circus spectacle or as a rock musical.” The New York Times asks, “How can $65 million look so cheap?”
But so far, says the Monitor, "ticket sales are brisk, outselling top-rated Broadway offerings such as the award-winning “Wicked.” Which only goes to prove, well, something. Or not.
