She?

I'm about 4 and a half minutes in, and the producer who brought the creative team together and was the only one who knew what a spider man was, dies just a moment before signing the contract Wtf? How crazier will this story get?

Spoiler alert: it gets crazier But the best part is that Robbie travelled 24 hours to experience this musical live

This feels like a good time to whip out my favorite word of all time: BONKERS.

nice sentence, did your husband make it for you?

Seeing it live, once Norman Osborn became the Green Goblin the show got a lot more fun. I can't believe you didn't talk about the Lizard's costume though

Dude that intro hit me with nostalgia. I’m from australia too and travelled to New York in June/July of 2013 and saw spiderman on Broadway. It was also around the time that they were filming the amazing Spider-Man 2

Why do I need Zac Efron as The Edge in a biopic now

Rise Above and Boy Falls from the Sky STILL slaps to this day.

I work in theatre and people STILL talk about this show. What a wild failure.

When I went to see this with my theatre group one of the Spider-Men that ran through the audience shot webs right into my drama teachers face 🙃

All I can remember from that weird looking musical was seeing the news talk about that recorded stage accident you occasionally showed in the video. And yup, the musical’s story and production sounds as crazy as I remember.

I clicked on this video faster than Roby deletes a Tweet.

whoa whoa whoa, that's cold

As a life long spidey fan I remember being super confused but bizarrely interested in this musical and as I’ve gotten older I’ve come to kind of love it, it’s in a similar vain of the 60s Batman show with the campy kind of flare if you look at it expecting the camp it’s actually a fun retelling of the first raimi movie, I think it was ahead of its time. Also just so everyone is aware I’m talking about the 2nd version of the show.

Im always absolutely fascinated with this show and its production and would love to see a more in depth exploration as a dramatic series lmao

I remember when I was working across the street from where they were filming the festival scene of the first Spider-Man movie with “Tobey Maguire”. That movie took forever too finish making, because someone stole the Spider-Man suits from their storage place. I had heard that they were worth $25.000 dollars each. Then someone who was working on building the festival scene set, died when a crane toppled over and hit some sort of hanging platform cage which swung and hit one guy, while nearly hitting another guy, who was also working on the New York festival building set, killing the guy that got hit. Then the authorities had to conduct two separate investigations for both of those incidents, which caused that movie's release, to take awhile.

My mom was going to take me to see this but she ended up not. I missed out on the opportunity to witness one of the greatest disasters in my lifetime.

The lizard or dinosaur looking suit scared the heck out of me when I saw the recording of this show I'm glad I didn't actually sit in the front row or even went to cedar show I'm good seeing it onlinebut if I was there and I saw Spider-Man then I guess it would make me feel better because he isn't creepy but he sure is dang fast when he swings

"Are you freaking serious?" - Larry Mullen Jr and Adam Clayton, probably

Something about this acid vat Gene Simmons exoskeleton ensemble being human-sized is freaking me out. Thank you for this footage of my very specific upcoming nightmare.

I was thinking about this show recently in the context of another musical, Chess. Both were written by successful musicians who were not versed in the conventions of musical theatre. Chess had problems and closed early, but had the advantage of way superior music, wasn't a financial black hole and didn't nearly kill half its stunt crew.

13:45 Seriously, this is comic book iconography brought to life, and one that I would have loved to experience myself. Great content as per usual! ❤

why was I not aware of this beauty before now? I shall spread the word of the great musical, Spider-Man

As an Irishwoman, I would like to sincerely apologise on behalf of both Bono and the Edge for the existence of this monstrosity.

God, they could’ve just had them fly ACROSS the stage, instead of RENOVATING THE THEATER so they can have them FLY OVER THE AUDIENCE.

I had no idea this existed till a couple years ago when Channel Pup reviewed it

Also Bono-kers was right there lmaoooo

Talking about watching Spider Man in theatres in 2002 is such a major flex. In other news, did I tell you that I watched Spider Man in theatres in 2002?

2:20 oh NO WE ARE OLD COOL OLDER PEOPLE WHO SAW 2002 SPIDEY ARE MIDDLE AGE DADS NOW aging isn't fun

Good to have you back man

What did we all learn? Marvel comics don’t make good musicals unless they’re being parodied in shows like Robot Chicken or Arrested Development. Like if you got the references at the last part.

I think the Green Goblin himself said it the best. "A Sixty-Five million dollar circus tragedy... Actually more like Seventy-Five."

Amazing video my friend. Glad i found you

Currently started the video and i dont even care what its about i am just so glad you made another video.

I actually saw Turn off the Dark 9 years ago. It was terrible.

That green goblin tune was cool

I wonder how Stan Lee thought about it? 🤔

8:12 agreed. And wow, a petty move that ended up hurting everyone.

Great video about an interesting topic keep it up

1:25 yup, this dominated my life when it came out. My sibling hated it.

I totally forgot about this play

This might be your best video ever. Good job

I'm glad you got to see this. It sounds utterly bonkers 😉

a magnum opus of inflated egos and artistic excess. it's awesome

To be honest I I like the fact that somebody like Reeve Carney was Spider-Man and I do like all the songs in the show sure it has it ups and downs but it's not the worst show the worst show was if everything was falling down Spider-Man I guess they just didn't know how to make a musical as insane as The Lion King but it still was good for what it was

damn i have never heard of this. interesting video!

This is so strange and I love it.

literally every new development gave me whiplash

Say what you want, but "Batman" doesn't have a broadway musical.

Who the hell let them cook

Why not talk about the other great songs like boy fall from the sky and rise above I don't really like freak like me needs company because I mean it just doesn't speak to me

which one would make a more fucked up show about it's creation turn off the dark or zsjl ?

Previews are after the show has been rehearsed and finished, but before it officially opens. Its the equivalent of a cold opening before a grand opening of a new store or restaurant. A show having more previews is a signal that something isn't working and that its not on schedule.

Now this... this is quality
