Broadway's 'Spider-Man' Gets New Flying Finale
The Hollywood Reporter: "The new finale now includes a flying scene where the superhero propels triumphantly around the theater, according to the New York Times. The Hollywood Reporter previously wrote that previews in the play were closed to the press the week of Dec. 13 so that the ending could be retooled.

It is hard to say what will come of this decision. It is strange that, in order to fix a boring ending, Spiderman would add a flying scene, considering the injuries that have occurred. This seems like something they are willing to do in order to make up for its bad ending, but hopefully by eliminating that problem, it will not then add to their long list of issues within the show already.
I disagree with Sophia. I feel that people overemphasis the injuries that have occurred on spiderman... I don't think the creative team needs to pull back from flying sequences. If the ending is bad, then it's bad. If the team feels that the ending is bad, then they should totally fix it. I'm just not sure if this is the right move for them. Unfortunately the only thing I know about this topic is "The new finale now includes a flying scene where the superhero propels triumphantly around the theater..." Frankly, it doesn't sound that good.
I feel that by flying Spider Man around the theatre, that they did not make a better ending. I agree with Charles that if the only thing that happens is he "propels triumphantly around the theatre" doesn't really add substance to the ending. Without knowing much on their procedures I do feel that adding more effects, and stunts could make the show more detrimental than it already is. Individuals may overemphasize the injuries that have occurred, but the amount and severeness of injures we do know do not help us to feel another flying scene is really a good idea. As long as they take their time in solving their issues, they should not limit themselves, but maybe slowing down is a good idea for them.
