On Tuesday, June 14, SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK at last celebrated its opening night on Broadway at the Foxwoods theater after years of delays. BroadwayWorld.com was there to capture all of the excitement of the night, including one of the starriest red carpets in Broadway history. Below, we bring you part 1 of our complete arrivals coverage!
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.
