Since when does Spiderman fight the Grinch?

“Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark,” otherwise known as “Julie Taymor Takes Spiderman Way Too Seriously.”

Looking at these pictures made me pause and inspect my apple to make sure I wasn't ingesting a bunch of hallucinogenic pesticides. WTF is this?

If i'm not mistaken, the second villain is one they made up specifically for the show.

this looks shopped…

Dang, I love Spider-man but this looks worse than Spider-man 3.

I saw the Lion King on broadway which is directed by the same person Julie Taymor and loved it so i will have as much faith as a can and if it disappoints well then what a waste of time and money they invested. its not like this will be canon for the spidey universe.

Also, what is that cyborg, gladiator, ballerina, ice skater, Lady-Gaga's-next-outfit character in the second picture?! Green Goblin and Carnage are recognizable, but that one I have no clue.

Tsk Tsk! Don't you people know there's no pleasure on earth better than a TERRIBLE musical? We should be celebrating this.

I don't know, I'm sure a lot of people thought that The Little Mermaid would be a total failure too, and look how that… Oh wait. Never mind.

Nothing good can come from this… it's like putting Zac Efron in a leading roll in an Akira live action remake that shouldn't even be made in the first place.

With all the problems that have plagued this show, do you think it will even open?

Are those really shots from Vogue? Yikes. Although, to be honest, I wouldn't turn down tickets to see it. There's something delightfully nerdy about Spidey on Broadway.
