The Spider-Man musical has been the talk of Broadway, and not all of it good. Costing $65 million, it's the most expensive show ever created, and the high-flying production has been beset by delays and injuries.
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark took off Sunday night with its first preview performance, and there were several glitches along the way. With nearly 2,000 in the audience at New York's Foxwoods Theater, the show was stopped five times because of technical problems, and the first act ended early, with Spidey hanging 10 feet above the audience, The New York Times reported.
The preview's biggest problem came during the end of Act I.
Spider-Man was supposed to fly off but got stuck in the air, swinging to and fro over the audience as crew members tried to grab his feet, the Post reported. Crew members tried to get him for about 45 seconds and called for intermission once they got him, the Times said.
