Spider Man Turn Off the Dark 'is making more than Wicked' on Broadway
Thursday, 27 January 2011
The people behind Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark may be further encouraged to bring the show to London after news that it recorded excellent revenues on Broadway in January 2011.
Although the musical is still in previews, audiences keen to see it in the first week of the new year helped it to rack up more in ticket sales than Wicked, one of the Great White Way's biggest ever productions.
Choreographer Daniel Ezralow told the Guardian he thinks Spider-Man will be a phenomenon, even though it does still need some tweaking to take it to "another level".
"We haven't even come close to what we really want the show to be - and we are selling better than the best show on Broadway," he pointed out.
According to Baz Bamigboye of the Daily Mail, Matthew James Thomas will be the actor to play Peter Parker if Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark does move to the West End in the near future.
