Please Close "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark"

The time has come. Julie Taymor and her cast and crew have reached Broadway with the most expensive, nonsensical, and dangerous production ever produced. "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" began previews just a week ago, and one of it's leading players is already out due to a production-related concussion.

This madness must stop. At a production cost of $65 Million Dollars, and a weekly running cost of another $1 Million every week it runs, Julie demands theater patrons to pay ticket prices higher than ever seen on The Great White Way. And for what? People who've seen the show say that the book and score are beyond horrible. Much of the plot makes little sense at all. And while the "spectacle" aspect might be thrilling for a Broadway show, at these ticket prices, it'd be cheaper to fly to Las Vegas and see a production by Cirque, whose production values still giant those of the Spider musical.

Julie, we don't want you here. Shut up production, leave New York, and take Spider-Man with you. We're not willing for the next actor in your show to get hurt, let alone killed. We don't think it's appropriate for ANY Broadway show to cost $65 Million Dollars. Nothing about your show is good for the art-form that is the American Musical. Go way. Stop raping the consumer. Stop hurting your actors. You need to stop.
