‘Spider-Man’ Director Faces Tough Choices, Including Her Exit
NYTimes.com: "The producers of Broadway’s “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” were negotiating on Monday with their director, Julie Taymor, for her to work with a newly expanded creative team to fix the critically derided $65 million musical or possibly leave the show, according to people who work on “Spider-Man” or have been briefed on the negotiations.

I dont even know where to start here. They have already put in around $65 million. Where is the line? how much is too much? Apparently this musical sucks and the only way to make it better is to rewrite the show and the music. how much more money and time are they going to spend to try and make this a success? I'm tired of reading articles about this show. Its getting really ridiculous. This reminds me of psychology class. The harder someone works or the more they put into a project the more they have to enjoy it to justify to themselves the effort they put in and I'm just wondering how they are justifying this to themselves.
