"How can 65 million seem so cheap?" The musical criticism of 'Spiderman'

In the absence of one month to produce the official release of Spider-Man musical, the New York critics this week decided to publish their views on the most expensive in the history of Broadway, which was once dismissed as "one of the worst "the mecca of theater in the Big Apple. After numerous technical, economic and sharing, the musical has been delayed until five times its official release (though it made previous passes), so that the newspapers of the city have decided to ally themselves and publish their criticism at a time during this week, just after the penultimate round after it had set for the opening.

The spokesman for the production of the musical, Rick Miramontez, said in a statement that this "flood of criticism is a great disappointment" because they are still making changes to the work and "any criticism published before the official release is completely invalid." "Just because Spiderman has cost more money and has taken longer to assemble than other products does not mean they deserve less respect from the critics," he adds Miramontez.

However, the local press have argued that the constant delays of the work that led them to publish their criticism in advance. His views left on the floor a production that has cost more than $ 65 million (47.6 million euros) and the New York Times critic Ben Brantley says that "not only is the most expensive ever has come to Broadway, but also can be among one of the worst.

" Brantley said that the shirts of the Music gift shop should say "I saw Spiderman and survived" or "I saw Spiderman and fell asleep." "After 15 or 20 minutes, is very likely to ask you how do you change 65 million seem so cheap? To how long will it take to go from here?" Says the critic of the prestigious New York newspaper.

Equally harsh are the words used by Elisabeth Vincentelli, the New York Post, who says the work is "inconsistent and maddening, and it's an exciting part and the other atrocious." Joe is not far behind Dziemianowicz, theater critic for the Daily News, which states that the total cost of the work "seems to only 10 cents have gone to his confused story, and dialogue without grace." The play, directed by Julie Taymor (Tony winner for The Lion King) and music has been composed by U2 band members Bono and The Edge, took its biggest setback last December 21 when one of their players suffered a small to fall during one of the previous passes of the work and had to be hospitalized.

After the incident the production was forced to return to delay the official opening of the play, which was initially planned for early last year.
