“Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" just had its 99th preview performance, making it the longest-running preview period for a show in Broadway history. With Taymor leaving, the sources told NY1 that the official opening date would likely be pushed back again from March 15 to sometime in June, making it ineligible for this year’s Tony Awards. Taymor recently spoke out about her problems in production while at the 2011 TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference. She said that perfecting the show is “right there in the palm of my hands” and that her plan was to “stay there going forward and you see this extraordinary thing right in front of your eyes.” via daily news
