Broadway’s Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark sold more than $1 million worth of advance tickets, producers announced yesterday. The long-delayed show, directed by Julie Taymor with music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge, finally previewed on November 28, but the performance stalled several times due to technical glitches and wound up running more than three hours. The show begins its official run in January, with more preview performances this month. [Playbill]

More on Turn Off the Dark: Spider-Man producer Michael Cohl on last night’s messy preview: “It went much better than I expected.”
