to ensure that the first Spider-man musical to hit Broadway was actually good.
There is literally no way that they could possibly get their work onto Broadway in that short of a timespan.
Fanfiction I hate.

Ah, it was done in a small venue in New York. Not Broadway, but the same city.

No, that would make it an Off Broadway play.

A distinction only New Yorkers and people who give a shit about musicals actually make, I can assure you.

I give a shit about musicals but I don't make the distinction.
At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...

If it's acted in New York it's seen as close enough by most people. I know the distinction and care but getting a good Spidey musical in New York is still cool. It may get big by word of mouth though. The A Very Potter Musical scenario.

(I'm not sure whether to put this here or in Live Performances, but with the crowd-sourcing and Youtube of it all, I'll stick it here.)
When it became apparent that the first Spider-man musical to hit Broadway was going to be a disaster, most simply accepted it. But a few, like minded fans of Spider-man and musicals, had the strength to stand up and try to avert the catastrophe.
Their goal? To perform, within 30 days, with a budget of $0, a Spider-man musical that did not suck; to ensure that the first Spider-man musical to open in New York was actually good. In desperation, they reached out to the Internet for help.
The result, 30 days and $0 later? The (surprisingly awesome) Spidey Project.

(I'm torn between wanting to spread the word, and wanting to protect it from the lawyers with obscurity; but seriously, this needs to be troped.)
So... what do you think?
