Spiderman Musical A Cash Cow

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark has surpassed Wicked as the highest-grossing show on Broadway and it has left a couple of people shocked and scratching their heads.

Spiderman managed to beat out the ever-so-popular Wicked last week, which is a major feat considering that 100% of Wicked's audience were paying patrons while Spiderman had many discounted/complimentary tickets during it's preview week.

Perhaps it is all of the backstage drama that has plagued the Spiderman musical that has people anxious to see it before it is yanked out of the theaters.

Either way, Spiderman is off to a great start and Wicked, among others, had better be prepared for when Spiderman opens on Feb. 7.
