A Passive Observation

Just a heads-up to the producing and advertising team of Spiderman: Turn off the Dark: This poster is still in Shubert Alley. For those that don't know, Shubert Alley is an alley (go figure) in the center of the theatre district between 44th and 45th street (along the side of the Shubert Theatre), where damn near every show on Broadway puts up a creative poster to advertise.

While passing through the other day, I did notice a distinct difference between the poster in the Alley and the image you see above. Instead of the words "Coming to Broadway," the Alley poster reads "Previews Begin February 25." I know this show has been on hold for quite some time, and maybe, just maybe, Spiderman on Broadway will be a reality in the coming year. However, the advertisers might want to take a minute to either put a new poster up or put something over the Preview Date That Got Away. But, given the problems over the past year, maybe there isn't enough money for that. But, on the bright side, I think that poster will make quite a collectible item for fans of Spidey or Broadway.

Hey! Here's an idea. Auction it off at the next Broadway Flea Market! Maybe there will be a huge superfan, fresh off Comic-Con, that will bid so high the producers will have enough money to possibly finish casting and start rehearsals. Just a suggestion.

  1. Blogger's edit: My apologies. The actual wording on the poster is "Arriving February 25, 2010."
