AT LEAST SONDHEIM FINALLY GOT HIS THEATER BEFORE THIS: The much-delayed Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark has always seemed more of a Vegas show than a Broadway one in a lot of ways (music by half of U2! Massive flying/swinging effects! Direction by Julie Taymor! Gutting, then regutting the theater on a level not seen since Dude!). That transition is now almost complete, with the gorgeous theater that's been dark since Young Frankenstein closed over a year and a half ago now being known as the Foxwoods Theatre. Perhaps because the house is so big, it's been kind of cursed since its reopening, with Ragtime closing prematurely, Young Frankenstein and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang being money-losing disappointments, and Hot Feet and Pirate Queen being massive bombs.
