the brew

(NEW YORK - NY) “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” has broken the Broadway record for single-week gross racking up $2.9 million  The previous record was held by  “Wicked” set earlier last year. Spider-Man box-office gross for the week ending New Year’s Day topped a previous record by more than $700,000.

Producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah Harris told the Daily News  Tuesday ,“We are thrilled that the public has taken such a liking to this show,” . They continued , “The audience continues to grow, and it is great to enter the New Year with such momentum.”The record-breaking week, saw 17,375 people packed The Foxwood Theatre, setting another Broadway mark for single-week attendance.

The musical’s reversal of fortune comes when many thought the show was DOA..Critics had written it off during its lengthy preview run.Several actors were injured on the job and the stage was considered unsafe..The play featuring the music of U2’s Bono and Edge suffered a series of on and off stage set backs ,some even claiming the show was cursed placing it on the brink of becoming Broadway’s biggest flop ever. The production began its turn around after director Julie Taymor left, the book was overhauled and it officially opened in June steadily building an audience since.
