>>> quotes i'm about to read come from the l.a. times , washington post and new york times. they all have to do with the new broadway musical " spiderman ." an artistic form of megalomania. incoherent. and finally, spiderman is sao grievously broken in every respect it's beyond repair. after a while you get the feeling the critics don't like spiderman . the most expensive and elaborate musical ever made. it hasn't opened yet officially, it's still in previews. the people keep coming, despite the mishaps, four injuries to actors. over 430,000 tickets have been sold.
