For you fans out there who are eagerly anticipating next year’s “Spider-Man: The Musical” (although judging by some of your comments on a recent Splash Page post about this, there might not be too many of you), be prepared for a true spectacle, as the musical is rumored to be the most expensive production in the history of Broadway…but that might not necessarily be a good thing.

In a story posted on the New York Post’s website, “Spider-Man: The Musical” is currently carrying a $40 million production price tag, mostly going to the show’s multiple costume, set and various other designers. While those types of figures are a drop in the bucket for most big-budget films these days, on Broadway that number is unheard of, and are leading many in the theater biz to think the show may be doomed before the curtain even goes up — considering the show will have “a weekly running cost of $1 million, [and] will have to run about 8,000 years in a Broadway theater just to break even,” according to the Post’s figures.

NYP sources are blaming the show’s director, Julie Taymor, for the outrageous production costs, coupled with the fact that many who are funding the project have little to no Broadway experience. Yet despite these recent financial woes, high-ranking sources insist that the show will absolutely open on Broadway next year as planned.

So what do ya think, Splash Page readers? Does a $40 million production peak you interest in seeing the show, or do you think Spidey should continue patrolling Broadway, not starring in a musical on it? Talk to us in the comments.
