Its success feels similar to that of "Avatar," just this sort of gormless achievement. It's like citing the longevity of Twinkies or whatever. At a certain point you just have to throw up your hands and sigh.

"Taymor refused to develop a musical that followed the original, family-friendly Spider-Man story, which was depicted in the Marvel comic books and the hugely successful motion picture trilogy based on them. Instead, Taymor, who admits that she was not a fan of the Spider-Man story prior to her involvement with the musical, insisted on developing a dark, disjointed and hallucinogenic musical involving suicide, sex and death."

i'm as amazed that they wanted a musical based on 'the hugely succesful motion picture trilogy' of Spiderman as i am by the fact that the director wasn't a Spiderman fan. to say nothing of her only being fired after the previews, if the entire story she was telling wasn't what they wanted!

are the TONYs about as respected as the Oscars or way less or more respected? you know how say the Oscars are considered to get it wrong a lot of the time etc?
― piscesx, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 14:45 (1 year ago) Permalink
the TONYs cover a far, far smaller realm of potential nominees than any of the other big awards. Instead of an entire medium, it covers a multi-block radius, so getting it "wrong" in the nomination pool is tough.
― da croupier, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 14:50 (1 year ago) Permalink
ha, it's up against "Once," "Ghost" and "Newsies" for Scenic

Would like to see a version of "Once" with a superhero busker.
― caro's johnson (Eazy), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 14:52 (1 year ago) Permalink
considering Once has rave reviews and the other three noms for "costume" (Follies, Porgy & Bess, that Matthew Broderick Gershwin thing) all have more than a shred of appreciation, it seems unlikely anyone from Spidey will be approaching the stage - or more likely having their name said in a scroll of "other awards given".
― da croupier, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 14:53 (1 year ago) Permalink
this was actually a massive snub; not getting a nom for best musical especially when Leap of Faith got one is a major fuck you to the whole produciton

But Andrew Garfield is nominated for best supporting actor in a drama, so the movie Spidey winning an award is a possibility.
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 15:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
considering how well the musical is doing, it's pretty possible they'll find a way to shoehorn a spot for spidey in the festivities since the tonys are still a big national ad for Broadway. Or maybe they'll just show a lot of ads.
