Masked Marauder Musicals

The Broadway Show 'Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark' is Almost Here

The anticipation for 'Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark' is almost unbearable, particularly because of the controversy surrounding the superhero musical. Marvel Comics are not regulars for the Broadway stage, making this heroic wonder a hot topic.

Regardless, the 'Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark' show is already receiving tons of praise despite not having been released yet. This spread from Vogue December 2010 is one amongst many publications looking to cover the show. Peeking through the pictorial, I'm looking forward to being completely tangled up in this masked musical.
