Spiderman the Musical

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/13/theater/revamped-spider-man-returns-with-just-a-few-glitches.html?adxnnl=1&partner=rss&emc=rss&adxnnlx=1305507850-+uXrsOkUbInsFZre4xSjoQ

It seems that after months and months of anticipation - the time has finally arrived for Spiderman to be revealed. Here we see Art and Technology merging in ways never seen before. From the technical elements of the stage design to the intricate rigging systems flying actors around the stage - it seems that the arts are grabbing hold of the mystery and excitement caused by increasing their technological experience. One has to wonder, where is the theater world headed with such big buck productions as Spiderman. The technology costs are supremely high - but is the art equal caliber to the price of the production and therefore the price of admission?
