It is safe to say that at one point or another each of us had wished to stay eternally youthful, as have some people who are much older wish as well. Youth is still considered very much a blessing, but it is only once we have passed it and acquired knowledge and understanding do we truly appreciate the time we have left on this earth.

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark 2012 Tickets

16th January 2012 | Category: Theater

If you want to go to an all new different musical, the best thing to go to is to check out Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark that is considered as a rock musical with music and lyrics by Bono of U2 and The Edge. The upbeat heavy with guitars and drums songs will keep you awake all throughout the show. It assures that you won’t be listening to those beautiful opera choruses that sometimes also function as a lullaby, especially if it’s not really your type and you just got dragged down by your classical girlfriend. Maybe it is time to check out something new and something action packed you would only expect to see on the silver screen.

Spider-Man, as most of us probably know it, is a story about a young man bitten by a spider and turns into a superhero. It was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and was published by Marvel originally as a comic book then it turned into a movie with many sequels. Because of its critically acclaimed success, Spider-Man could be also found in the Broadway. Like in the movies and comic book, it tells the story of how Peter Parker fell in love with Mary Jane and how he battled with his nemesis, the evil Green Goblin. It is very similar to the story of the 2002 film, so if you have watched it, you know what to expect in the aspect of the story, however, there’s more to expect in Broadway.

Spider-Man is considered to be the most expensive Broadway production in history and it also has the longest running preview period in history (182 preview performances). Aside from this, many critics said that Spider-Man “has effectively distanced it from its peers—and caused some confusion when it comes time to describe the show.” This is due to the nature of the songs and the scenes that is totally different to the shows that are shown in Broadway. One has described it as “elements of rock and roll, elements of circus, elements of opera, and of musical theater”.

The scenes are very complicated too and unusual. The production was described during its new release as the most technically complex show ever on Broadway, with 27 aerial sequences of characters flying and engaging in combat. Not only do the characters do high-flying stunts, but many objects are flying as well to put the audience in the middle of the action.

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is clearly not your usual Broadway production and if you are up to something different, something amusing and something cool, this show is a must see. Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark tickets are sold in many ticket outlets and can be bought cheaply over the internet. If you want to experience this new Spider-Man, make sure to book your tickets early at TicketCenter, the best stop for all your ticketing needs.
