Gasping Spider-Man Gets Revamp

The producers of the cursed Spider-Man Broadway musical are rejigging the show's musical numbers, and its official opening may get a sixth tweak, reports the New York Times. Veteran musical supervisor and conductor Paul Bogaev has been hired to revamp many of the $65 million show's musical numbers, according to a production spokesman; but he declined to comment on the possibility of opening day, currently March 15, being pushed back once again.

The spokesman denied that producers are also seeking the services of a script doctor and a co-director. The musical has suffered so many problems—and terrible reviews—that it may be remembered as one of the most cursed Broadway productions in recent memory, apart from one thing: It began preview performances in late November, and has been one of the top-grossing shows on Broadway since the performances began.
