Is Broadway’s 'Spider-Man' Worth the $65-Million Price Tag?

The first performance of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, the much-anticipated $65-million musical, had its fair share of glitches, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

After starting nearly 30 minutes late, fans who were anxious to see the show's highly touted cutting-edge effects watched on as the action stopped several times, sometimes leaving actors suspended in midair.
 
The show, which nearly doubled the cost of the second-most expensive Broadway production, Shrek: The Musical, would have to take in at least $1 million each week for two to three years to break even.
