I don't give a damn what the critics said about this play. I saw it December 2010, in New York City. I loved it. A fitting tribute to the wall-crawler.

I only had three problems with it:

-I heard that a lot of actors were injured. I think they could've avoided that.

-I only saw the original version, where Spidey beats the Goblin in the first act and he returns with the Sinister Six in the second. But, in the end, it was revealed that Gobby's comeback and the Six were all just illusions of the true villain, Arachne. Now, I'm hearing that they rewrote it so Gobby was the main villain. (Which is a huge improvement)

-No Harry Osborn. (After all, a major part of the Spider-Man mythos is the supporting cast) But, I'm past that.

First reason I like it, the music was great. I loved "Bouncing Off the Walls", "I Can't Just Walk Away (Say It Now)", and "Boy Falls From The Sky". Every time I hear "Rise Above" on the radio, I have fond memories of this show. "A Freak Like Me Needs Company" and "Sinistereo" had a dark feel to them that i just loved.

Second, the aerial fight was just epic! Seeing Spider-Man and Green Goblin grapple in a one-on-one battle above the Chrysler Building was just awesome. When I saw it, there was one part where Spidey, while jumping around, landed right in front of me! Yes, it was only for a split-second, but he was RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!

I though they portrayed the characters very nicely. Spidey's costume looked very nice. I noticed Green Goblin seems to be a cross between classic and Ultimate: a non-Hulk physique and Pumpkin Bombs, but no costume (that Goblin-ness is all him), no glider, and an origin much like Ultimate. And am I the only one who thinks Swiss Miss has a lot of potential? They should bring her into the comics.

I also loved how the “Geek Chorus” (at least that's what I here they were called) discussed whether the spider biting Peter was fate, a scientific probability, or just dumb luck.

Anyway, the play was awesome.
