The Latest From New York

I haven't written much here lately about the Broadway show, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. If you care, you presumably know that it closed down for a while so that much of it could be changed by a mostly-new creative team. Our pal James H. Burns has a nice look at what led up to the show's hiatus over at CBS in New York.

Now, this next link may not be good for long but here it is. Back in December on the message board of another pal of mine, Tony Isabella, Jim wrote a long memo detailing with how (he felt) the original show's problems could be fixed. I'm hearing that many of them have been changed just the way Jim outlined, which is not to say the alterations were definitely because of what Jim wrote.

In any case, the two pieces provide an intriguing look at a version of the Spider-Man musical that will probably never be seen again. And we can all wait and see how much the new version will be seen in the future.
