"Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark"

     New York - The show may not have made a profit, but it left behind one box office milestone, in January 2012 the comic book musical took in $2,941,790 over nine performances, which is the highest single-week gross of any show in Broadway history.  "Spider-Man:  Turn Off The Dark" grossed more than $200 million, making it the 16th-largest grosssing show in Broadway history.  Producers say the show needs to make $1.2 million a week to break-even.  The show last reached $1 million for one week in mid-August.  And, last week the show took in just $742,595.  Words of a new home for "Spider-Man:  Turn Off The Dark" have swirled for months and reportedly Las Vegas is number one on the list.  One of the lead producers of Broadway's "Spider-Man:  Turn Off The Dark" says, moving the show to Las Vegas makes sense because Las Vegas has always been a better fit for a splashy musical.  "We can have a more exciting and better show in Las Vegas.  To me, Las Vegas is the town of show business", said Michael Cohl, who produces "Spider-Man:  Turn Off The Dark" along with co-producer Jeremiah J. Harris.  See also, www.nytimes.com.
