"Spider-Man" - The King of Broadway?

It's surprising that I haven't mentioned the hottest show on Broadway - Spider-Man Turn off the Dark.

Despite the fact that the show is in previews and hasn't officially "opened" yet, it's been the top-grossing show in New York for months now. Of course, it's also been controversial because of injuries to several actors in the show.

It's a production that seems to confound the experts, who've been predicting its demise. It reminds me of Wicked, which also had a high price tag, but went on to be a huge hit (and continues to be one). Spider-Man strikes me as the same kind of spectacle, a stunt-filled work that has to be seen to be believed.

The show's opening has been delayed until March 15 to fix some problems, but it continues to play to packed houses in the meantime.

Here's hoping it hangs in there (and the actors stay safe) until I get a chance to make the trip to New York and catch the show!
