NEW YORK - DECEMBER 2010

While in New York (the city) went to see the Spiderman show on Broadway. The visual aspect of the show was way cool. Each scene had an amazing set - the school room, the neighborhood, the lab, a wedding scene. My favorite character was Arachne, the spider woman. Did she outshine Spiderman? - maybe. Unfortunately the book needs lots of work -- the show runs long and the story gets confusing. The music was not memorable. I'm glad I saw it, though. It may not be open even a full year (unless they fix the problems).
Saw Women on the Verge, musical on broadway. Liked it. Am predicting a Tony nomination for Laura Benanti. Saw Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson. Liked it. Am predicting a Tony nom for the lead actor, Benjamin Walker. Saw La Bete - a play starring David Hyde Pierce. Am predicting a Tony nom for Mark Rylance. Saw Promises, Promises again. I'm wishing PBS (or someone) would film it before it closes.
