Oh my God, I saw it last night and I was absolutely blown away. If you have not seen it, get on the next plane to NY and try to get some rush tix. I loved it. Plenty of great U2 references too lol. "... a rockstar." (puts on sunglasses)... "I thought you were God."
When Rise Above just came, I was loud at critisizing it. Now I listen to it on repeat day after day. Now I'm suddenly in situation that is discribed by this song.
"Nuclear Bomb Detonates During Rehearsal For 'Spider-Man' Musical
JANUARY 5, 2011 | ISSUE 47•01
NEW YORK—In yet another setback for the $65 million dollar Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark—a production plagued by multiple delays, poor early reviews, and severe injuries to its cast and crew—a thermonuclear device detonated during the first act of Tuesday night's preview performance. "The bomb should not have gone off at all," said lead producer Michael Cohl, adding that the explosion that vaporized most of Manhattan was "not that unusual" for a major Broadway show still in development. "Spider-Man is supposed to swing down to the stage and deactivate a nuclear bomb, but his wires got tangled up, and by the time he got there and remembered the disarm code, it was too late. We're going to hire two more stagehands to make sure this doesn't happen again." Despite the setback, Cohl told reporters that he is more optimistic than ever about the production, saying that director Julie Taymor and composers Bono and the Edge were disintegrated in the explosion."
