Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark

"Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" is a Broadway musical that premiered in 2010, featuring the iconic Marvel superhero Spider-Man. The production, known for its ambitious use of aerial stunts and special effects, faced extensive delays and criticism for its complex storyline and difficult production challenges. Co-created by Julie Taymor, who directed the original version, the show struggled with financial issues and negative reviews before undergoing a series of changes. Ultimately, it ran until January 2014, becoming notable for its tumultuous development and as a significant, albeit flawed, attempt to bring comic book heroes to the stage.
