Bryan LeeOctober 6, 2013Great wire work on the show. Best to have seats in the balcony as some of the action flies up there. We had orchestra and several times Spider-Man would leap up to the balcony and out of our sight.
Erik CintronJune 14, 2012What an awesome play I think if ur like me and u want a play that is familiar and ur not into broadway this is a great way to start. It was fun and good acting and good songs. The theatre was nice to
Heather RJune 28, 2013Great show. Kids loved it. The story was massively abridged, in order to be workable onstage. Aerialists were amazing. Get seats on the flying circle or upper balcony as he perches there
KathrynJanuary 22, 2012Awesome visuals! Love the goblin! Songs are completely forgettable but actors/actresses have good voices..the spidermans could've used more crotchstuffing, but I loved all the swinging and action
Dawn :o) DamnYourNosey!March 13, 2012One of the best broadway shows I have ever seen. If you get the chance go and see it. We had orchestra seats and spiderman landed next to us and tossed his web around. I'd see this a few more times.
Maria Olsson-TysorJuly 27, 2011Great show for the whole family (small kids might get a little scared though). Splurge on great seats - it's worth it! Get a "booster seat" for the kids at the coat check.
Mark ChuramanFebruary 24, 2011Spider-Man isn't the epic mess the media is making it out to be! The show is visually stunning, the plot is coherent and easy to follow, and the aerial stunts are just WOW. Music could use some work.
Terry CallaghanMay 12, 2013We were given balcony tickets. Spiderman landed 3' from us a few times and even waved! This was awesome and the kids loved it! Also, got a great view of all the overhead swinging!
Robert B.August 29, 2011Minor hiccups make the show interesting to watch! Cast is amazing to pick up immediately where they left after fixing the problem. Show feels more suited for theme park entertainment than Broadway.
Brooke BallardMay 5, 2013We sat in the 'Flying Circle' and it was amazing. The sets are unbelievable!
Diego NaranjoFebruary 5, 2011Amazing effects and wirework...what's up with the random spider lady plot. Pay attention at the end because it resolves WAY too quickly and frantic. The villain costumes were much too theme-parky.
Alanna WitzMarch 22, 2013The set designer/creator is brilliant!!!:) Amazing show! Loved every second! Don't miss out! You'll be sorry:(
Anthony MattiaAugust 12, 2013UNBELIEVABLE!!!! The 2nd act much better than the 1st.. we had Orchestra seats, Balcony would've been best with the high flying action
Susie Elam RiggioApril 5, 2013Weird Broadway play. The sets & wire work were incredible. The plot & transitions of scenes were choppy. The 1st act lumbered along. 2nd act was better, but not great. Muffled singing. Great voices.
HISTORYMarch 29, 2010Original home of The Lyric Theatre, built in 1903. It hosted such notable shows as Cole Porter's Fifty Million Frenchmen. It was demolished in 1996 and reopened in 1998 for the musical Ragtime.
Y-ka RaffoMay 5, 2013My daughters, my friend and i loved it..... the show is awesome the wire work is excellent we are going back with my husband soon.
SPIDER-MAN ON BWAYSeptember 9, 2011It’s “a SPECTACULAR for the ages!” (WOR Radio), and there’s only one place to experience it live! Get caught up in all of the high-flying action and adventure at SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark on Bway.
Tanya RobinsonMarch 18, 2013You must either sit in orchestra, first 12 rows...or the 2 balconies - first 3 rows. If not, see a different show. Stay away from far sides if possible.
Deejay OneTymeOctober 15, 2012PAY THE MONEY! Get box seats! To the right of the stage is best. Above the orchestra pit.
Jasmine WilliamsSeptember 8, 2012Very nice Show!!!! Make sure to get a seat on the second or third level!!!
Rubina FillionMarch 11, 2011Spider-Man had astonishingly lovely sets, perhaps the best stagecraft I've seen. It almost made up for the forgettable songs and storyline.
Amanda WMarch 27, 2011Drinks are super expensive and syrupy. Show was sick though! Great special effects and stunts! Loved it would definitely recommend it
Mickey HerbertJuly 3, 2013If you like gymnastics, you'll like this play! We were on 3rd row, and loved it.
David RodriguezDecember 15, 2013If you can manage to get it, try for the fly up seats. You can see spidery up close and personal
Lauren ENovember 17, 2011Sat in the orchestra, row D in seat 107 and had a nice center view. Looked like it would be nice to sit front row of the dress circle or balcony.
Josh Weinberger (@kitson)September 16, 2010Originally the Ford Center for the Performing Arts (1997) and then the Hilton Theatre. (The History Channel notwithstanding, it was actually built out of the combined Apollo *and* Lyric Theatres.) Read more
Jacky G.January 19, 2012Honestly this musical wasn't too good. It's geared more toward children I think. The songs were boring. It was hard to make out the words sometimes because everything just sounded muffled.- Heather RJune 28, 2013I was excited for the music, hearing that Bono and the Edge from U2 had written it. It fell majorly flat and many songs I just wanted to end...
danielle gMarch 26, 2011Don't know what people are talking about, there is clearly a plot that follows the movie, great scenery great cast great music. Must see.
Mark MatlockMarch 14, 2012Loved this show. I think with so many older musicals on Broadway, seeing something that is current feels off putting to many.
J MusicalsNovember 9, 2011Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is, probably, the most technically advanced musical in the world. And the most expensive as well.
Alan ClaughanJuly 10, 2013Awesome show, you don't know where to look. Spider-Man pops up all over the place 😊
City of New YorkApril 1, 2013Built in 1997, the Foxwoods Theatre is the largest and newest theatre on Broadway.
Gene AndersenAugust 16, 2013One of the actors was injured, so the show was canceled at the beginning of the second act.
Angelica OliveiraOctober 6, 2012Wonderful play, talentous cast and smashing songs produced by Bono Vox and The Edge.

ElizabethApril 16, 2011Go to the man bartender. Get a strong drink... Tell him you need one and he will nod approvingly. Helps make the show better! But it will still suck.
Jae Young LeeJanuary 5, 2014Last minute tickets are the best! Got the bests seats Orches. Row L right in middle
Paige DuPontJune 20, 2012The music is lack luster and it extremely slow from start to finish. The wire work is great but that's about all it's got going for it. Save your money or go and see Mary Poppins across the street.
Bryan GreenJuly 19, 2012Julie Taymorgasm (noun): The unrelenting joy one experiences when they give into the complete insanity of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark.
Natasha BlairJanuary 13, 20116.5/10 Amazing aerial work, incredible set = the saving grace from forgettable leads with weak voices and a meh musical score.
Bruno LoboApril 24, 2013Don't sit at the orchestra, since the actors keep flying around during the show.
Paul RDecember 9, 2010My review of the Spider-Man musical: Great wire work. Great costumes. Very meh music. WTF non-existent plot. 5 out of 10 overall.
Wilmar HaoJune 25, 2012Get the general rush tix for $40. Go to the box office when they open around 9am. Its like $150 the regular price.

"The genie stole the show!! Loved it! Brought kids (11 & 9) and they had a great time. Definitely go for mezzanine or orchestra seats. The balcony is very steep and seats very close together."
