Great Experience!
by GGoblin on 1/7/14Foxwoods Theatre - New YorkI brought my 5 year old. I wasn't sure what to expect. It's hard to really do a spider man play because you want to preserve the magic of a flying superhero who shoots webs from his hands and swings on them..but HOW do you do it? This play did an excellent job. You can clearly see the harnesses, ropes, etc but there are many magic moments where you forget that there are supports there at all. My favorite aspects were: The weaving of the giant yellow web in the beginning of the play-that was terrific, the connection with the story of Arachnid, the sets were terrific, and The Green Goblin stole the show!!! We had a great time and my son LOVED it. Criticism: I wondered if they couldn't do a more substantial web effect...but I have no better ideas for it myself. It looked like streamers..my son still loved it when they fell on him aand took some home!
