The Latest From New York…

The New York Times is reporting that the producers of Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark are discussing yet another delay of its opening night. They'd said March 15 would be it and that would not change but now, if the article is to believed, they're discussing June, which would mean the show would not be eligible for this year's Tony Awards.

That's quite a step to take but it makes sense, really. They can't change that much by 3/15 and if the critics who already panned the show come then, all they're going to write is, "I was right…they couldn't fix it." The article also says that while producers have talked to playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa about helping rewrite the book, he has not been hired…yet. Same thing with director Philip William McKinley about coming in to assist Julie Taymor.

Performers from Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark are scheduled to perform a number from the show on David Letterman's show Tuesday night. Assuming they don't postpone that, you might want to tune in and get a little sampling.
