The Spider-Man musical - which, I believe, has run for 9459 performances in previews - will close for a while as producers "retool" some things and try to make the "steaming pile" of theatrical horrors into something worth the hype and the money. The Daily News says:
Great! Because that's what she needs. Revamping. It's minor stuff:
The director's already left the show, so she wasn't the one who had to call Bono and the Edge and say "uh, fellas, listen, we loved all the songs, and I'm a big fan of your work, especially 'Every Move You Make,' but can we ask a teensy favor? Just two more songs? Oh thanks, you're the best." This will change everything:
By the time they're done retooling this thing, it's going to be a musical about the trials of a Jewish patriarch as he tries to teach proper English to a guttersnipe German cabaret singer in the South Pacific.
