Card board cut outs. Okay, they're not card board. But they could've been. Rather than have the actors go on stage, they would bring out these weird pieces to "further the story." Yeah, no! Not buying it. I don't even know if an 8 year old boy would fully enjoy this show. It was disjointed and weird. The illusion of Peter Parker being Spiderman was shot as well, since they actually showed a Spiderman on stage at the same time that Reeve Carney was on stage. Also, the flying aspect that everyone was excited for was so boring. We were under the mezzanine so we couldn't see where he was landing on the balcony, but I don't think the extra fly time would've saved it for me.
Oh yeah, there were weird minions in comic book type masks. The show couldn't figure out if it was in the 60's or modern times, a comic book, or simply mocking one, and what vocal style it was supposed to be. Mary Jane was boring and Peter sounded like he had to shit for every song (pretty much just sounded like a bad Bono) I get that you want to sound like Bono, but I would've bought the character more had he started the show with a "wimpy" voice and then gotten this awesome rock voice after the spider bite.
