He just got hit with an Ethics complaint for sexual harassment. Which apparently occurred in his House office two weeks ago. The man is beyond a hot mess.
Doc Ock once tried to marry Aunt May to secure the uranium rights to an island she inherited. And even THAT storyline was less batshit crazy than this guy getting elected to Congress.
Maybe, with a better book, Spider-Man should have opened in Vegas…and stayed in Vegas.
I just remember talking with theatre friends about how many non-musical plays $60 million could have produced. How many new plays. How many first productions. How many workshops and readings. How many theatre people being able to quit second or third jobs.
When this flopped, I remember thinking that it was a real shame.There was a hell of a lot of talent there. *sigh*
Probably looked great on paper.
(Could have meant lots of jobs.)
I know Taymor's niece, and she said that her aunt took the show VERY seriously, and wanted it to be like a work of art.(I wonder if this makes some sort of sense if you've seen the show?)Could explain some underlying tension.
In other words someone wanted a live action Marvel movie on a Blair Witch Project budget, and demanded the stunts break the laws of physics because that's how it looks in CGI. And there was no need for anything as inconsequential as a coherent script, because it had BIG NAMES and SPECTACLE and that's all you need!
Not being a Spiderman fan to begin with, I empathize for you Stephen...
As I say when my husband is hungover;
"Self inflicted. No sympathy."
George Santos is the gift that keeps on giving!
George Santos has his tentacles in everything. Sorry, I think I confused him with Doc Ock.

MTG!
Is there nothing this brave Adonis cannot do?
He'll get away with everything as long as the extremists need his vote

That's odd, I don't recall seeing Spiderman on Broadway, but the elected Congressman George Santos said I did, so it must be true!
"The music and lyrics were, well, early 21st Century U2. I think 13-year-old me was expecting Spider-Man Still Hasn't Found What He's Looking For."
Just to nitpick, but that would've been late 80s U2.
Early 21st Century U2 would be Beautiful Day or Vertigo.

Well. They all can’t be “Starlight Express.”

Yes!I remember at the time thinking that it sounded like a Vegas show!

The commodification of art is fucking exhausting.
