When I was looking around in stores for some Valentine’s Day gifts for my sweetheart, I found boxes of chocolates in Spider-Man-themed heart-shaped boxes, as well as sets of Spidey Valentine’s Day cards.
If you didn’t come across any of these items, you can still get in on the Spider-Man-themed Valentine’s Day fun thanks to a Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark mobile app.
The Spider-Man Broadway musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, has received a lot of attention lately…though most of it has been on the negative side of things. With delays, production problems, and a slew of cast injuries over the last few months, many see the pricey show heading down a path toward certain doom.
However fate sees fit to treat ol’ Spidey’s Broadway run, what other odd properties could be transformed into potentially successful musicals? Brothers Jon and Al Kaplan have some suggestions, and they’ve even made videos to prove how well they would work.
Their latest venture is dubbed Predator: The Musical, and it adds a catchy musical number to scenes from the movie. Judging by the video, this could definitely work as a big Broadway production — click on over now to see for yourself!
The cover of the current issue of The New Yorker magazine has an illustration by Barry Blitt poking some fun at the situation with the Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark musical, which hasn’t been too kind physically to the actors portraying the famous webslinger.
It’s been a messy and often dangerous ride for those involved in the $65 million Spider-Man Broadway adaptation, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. With many of the action sequences calling for significant stunt work, multiple actors involved in the show have been injured during production and rehearsals.
Now another injury has been added to the list at a performance that took place just a few hours ago. According to various reports, the accident occurred during a sequence toward the end of the production where Spider-Man is trying to save Mary Jane as she hangs from a bridge. Either the actor playing the web-slinging superhero or his stunt double for the show fell about eight to ten feet from a platform into a pit, and equipment being used in the show fell into the audience as a result.
