The Mouse Not Looking To Save The Spider

Filed under: Broadway Babies > Disney

If you were hoping that the Broadway version of Spider-Man was going to receive a little ~~bailout~~ help from the Disney corporation, hope no more.

Disney won't be hitching it's money wagon to that sticky web!

Though the news that Disney will acquire Marvel in a $4 billion deal may have provided some hope, there really is no logical way for it to work. At least not now.

For starters, the production has been rumored to get back into the swing of things this week, which is in no way long enough for Disney to finalize a deal with Marvel.

Furthermore, Marvel was never a fiscal entity for the production of Spider-Man, but rather only the licensing company. No reason to be throwing money at the show now when they didn't before.

But you never know - Dreams may come true for the billion dollar Broadway show that could. Perhaps the Mouse will find it in his heart to share the cheddar.

Why are you hating so much on this thing? it sounds awsome and original unlike some of the other boring ass broadway musicals. You're only trashing it because they gave the Mary Jane role to Evan rachel wood and not to that glorified stripper Ditta Von Whatever. Grow up.
