Spiderman ..... more like Spider SHAM!

One of the big shows at the moment on Broadway is Spiderman. A lot of hype was given to this musical prior to its opening. The music is done by Bono and The Edge from U2, and with stunts where Spiderman jumps around the theatre using pulleys etc you would expect that you would be in for something special.......but it was a horrific mishmash of songs that did not fit, poor set design, and a lead spiderman (not the understudy) that could not hold a note. It got so bad that during Act Two Bryan and I couldn't help but giggling through it.

Normally I don't take the critics reviews too seriously but in this case they were right on the mark. It was dog awful. I am just glad that we did not pay anywhere near full price for our tickets.
