Troubled Broadway Spidey musical flies again

NEW YORK - Call it "Spider-Man: Take Two".

A revamped Spider-Man musical took flight on Thursday evening, with producers hoping audiences would take kindly to a cleaner script, a more comic approach, tighter music and an enhanced love story for the most expensive show in Broadway history.

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark had been on a three-week hiatus aimed at giving the creative team a chance to rescue the show, which was savaged by critics and nearly defeated by a series of stunt accidents during an extended run in previews.
