Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark is Finally Open!

Yes, true believers, today is the opening day (finally) of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark! While this has absolutely nothing at all to do with reviewing issues of Amazing Spider-Man, I do want to work in the occasional news item or review of other Spider-Man issues, and this one seems appropriate. The Julie Taymor/Bono/Edge collaboration, which in turn became completely overhauled several months into preview shows, is finally, officially open. Will it be a hit? A total bomb? Will it ever make its money back? More than likely, yes. U2 is a big draw, and Spider-Man is certainly well known. Tourism and curiosity alone will keep it running a long time, whether it deserves it or not. So congrats to Reeve Carney and Patrick Page for sticking out the VERY long preview and reworking process and finally having a show that you can be proud of and give your very best to!
