One of the most talked about shows on Broadway gets ready to hit the stage on Nov. 14. That's right I am talking about Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, the first musical Spider-Man story on stage. (Peter dancing on Spider-Man 3 does not count!) Well yesterday (Sept 9th) while a lot of us was watching the amazing Big Live Live Show: Live. ABC News got the scoop on villains and songs of the show.
Taymor revealed some set designs and showed the debut of two costume designs for the villains; the Green Goblin and an all new original villain-ness called Swiss Miss (who apparently is called that because she is covered with Swiss knives). Not only that but Reeve Carney along with his band performed a song from the musical called "Boy Falls From the Sky".
This was all on TV but thanks to something called the internet here are the videos and the images of the costume designs.

... and here's a YouTube video of the performance of "Boy Falls From the Sky":
What can I say? The costume designs are very lively and they include a lot of color which is good for a Broadway show, but I am not so sure about seeing them dancing in that get up. It certainly looks comic book-y which helps the cause, I guess.
As for the song, it's not a bad song, and it seems like it's not going to be a musical which has them singing show tunes, but a rock driven style. I am "iffy" about this but at the same time the show does appeal my interest.
What do you all say? Would you watch this?
Remember that the show begins November 14th of this year and tickets are now on sale on the official site.
