Producers of the Spider-Man Broadway musical are offering ticket refunds, MTV News said yesterday.
The most recent in a series of delays in bringing Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark to the New York stage has prompted show producers to offer refunds to fans who had purchased tickets for performances.
The show — like the latest edition of the film franchise — has been postponed indefinitely. Previews, which were expected to start Feb. 25., have been cancelled. The production “is moving forward,” but a revised scheduled, along with an opening date later this year, will be announced shortly.
In the meantime, ticketholders can request an immediate refund from Ticketmaster or wait to exchange them for another date when the new performance schedule is announced.
The Spider-Man Musical will be directed by Julie Taymor and features a score by Bono and The Edge of U2. This isn’t the first drawback for the musical, work was stalled on the musical last summer because of financial difficulties. The show’s budget could hit the $50 million mark — that’s the largest in Broadway history.
