Photo Coverage: SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK Opening Night Curtain Call
By: Walter McBride Jun. 15, 2011
While the Broadway world is still abuzz from Sunday's Tony Awards, all eyes turned last night to another star-studded red carpet event: the much-delayed opening of SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK. BroadwayWorld.com was there to capture all of the excitement of the night, including the opening night curtain call at which Julie Taymor made a surprise appearance!
Julie Taymor - the former director who was now-infamously ousted from the show prior to its May shutdown - was among those to walk the red carpet. "I am very excited. It's opening night!" She told the Associated Press. "I am delighted to be here."
The production has been revamped by new creative team, as previously announced: Philip William McKinley stepped into the role of director, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa reworked the book, and Chase Brock choreographed. The expanded team also includes musical consultant Paul Bogaev and sound designer Peter Hylenski.
Tickets for SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark are priced from $67.50 - $135 for weekday performances and $67.50 - $140 for weekend performances and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com or by calling (877) 250-2929. Tickets are also available at the Foxwoods Theatre box office, which is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
