Spider-Man Broadway preview!

For those of you who do not read io9.com, they caught a preview of the new Broadway musical 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark'. And it is apparently insane.

Some highlights:

- Osborn's scientists are named after famous Spider-Man creators: Steve Ditko, John Romita Sr., and J. Michael Straczynski.
- The show introduces a new villain named Swiss Miss, who looks like a steel-plated Lady Gaga with ninja stars for nipples.
- Carnage, Electro, Kraven, the Swarm, the Lizard, and Swiss Miss have a supervillain "beauty pageant."
- The stage sets and wirework are completely over the top. At one point the Chrysler Building fires out at the audience. At another, the Green Goblin lands on the third story balcony and threatens the audience there.
- Best pull quote? "Zardoz on Ice!"

Apparently this will be THE show to go to if you are in New York and have a lasting supply of LSD handy. That is assuming it doesn't close after the first week.
