Description

We end the month of February (and February Flops) with one of the biggest flops in recent memory.... Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark. Plagued with technical and artistic issues, the show managed to set a record for the longest preview period with 182 performances. John and John talk about the lack of an out-of-town period that could have helped with the technical problems, their views on the score, and how flash does not equal substance.

Music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge

Book by Julie Taymor, Glen Berger, and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
