Post Gazette: "What makes 'Spider-Man' soar above all else, though, what families pay big bucks to see, are the men swinging from wires high aboveorchestra level -- and sometimes within inches of our heads. Despite the glitch at this performance, the aerial work earns its comparisons to Cirque du Soleil. The spectacle of George Tsypin's sets, including giant projections and a folding Chrysler Building, plus elaborate costumes and masks by Eiko Ishioka and Ms. Taymor fill Foxwoods Theatre with eye candy. But it remains the promise of flight and potential to falter that create a unique Broadway experience."
