Please, for the love of God, quit paying to see Spider-Man on Broadway!

This seems to be my soap box lately.  Why in the world are people paying to see “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark?”  (Still worse title ever).  It has had ZERO positive reviews by critics and no one I know who has seen it has anything good to say about it, yet, tickets are selling like gangbusters.  Sales were up 3% last week. grossing $1.3 million dollars.  To put that into perspective, “Wicked,” a highly successful show grossed $1.4 million.  So a brilliant show barely outgrosses a pathetic show.  HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?

Producers of the show have been doing focus groups to help fix the problems of the show, but when so much is wrong, I don’t know if you can make it right.  In other words, QUIT SPENDING YOUR MONEY TO SEE A CRAPPY SHOW WHEN BROADWAY HAS SOME BRILLIANTLY WONDERFUL FANTASTIC SHOWS!!!
