SPIDER-MAN Offers Discounted Tickets at TKTS for First Time

Tickets for Thursday night's performance of SPIDER-MAN:TURN OFF THE DARK were released at TKTS at a 30 percent discount last night, March 4. Could this be an indication that the show is struggling to sellout the Foxwoods Theatre? 

AM New York's Matt Windman wrote of the news this morning: "Tickets for Thursday night's performance [of "Spider-Man"] were released earlier in the day at the TKTS booth at a 30 percent discount. As far I know, this is the first time tix for "Spider-Man" have been made available there. It's another indication that demand to see the show is starting to fade."

Featuring direction by Tony® Award-winner Julie Taymor (The Tempest, Across The Universe, The Lion King), music and lyrics by 22-time Grammy® Award-winners Bono and The Edge, a book co-written by Taymor and Glen Berger (Underneath The Lintel) and one of the most iconic title characters of all time, SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark is the most ambitious production ever undertaken on Broadway and finds astonishingly fresh ways to tell a story inspired by over 40 years of Marvel comic books. The show follows the story of teenager Peter Parker, whose unremarkable life is turned upside-down when he's bitten by a genetically altered spider and wakes up the next morning clinging to his bedroom ceiling. This bullied science-geek suddenly endowed with incredible powers soon learns, however, that with great power comes great responsibility as villains put both his physical strength and strength of character to the test. SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark will thrill audiences through a unique entertainment experience in ways never-before-dreamed-possible in live theater.
