A review by rpych2
Song of Spider-Man: The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History by Glen Berger

4.0

I’m so glad this book exists, because I saw the show in previews way back when and I was half convinced it was a fever dream at this point in my life. But it’s also very clear that everyone involved with this show (including the author) was an egomaniac who had no clue about what a Spider-Man story should entail. Instead of creating a spectacle with classic characters, they for some reason added in a random made up Greek mythology character that was almost more important than Green Goblin or even Peter Parker.

But I’m not reviewing the show, because that would be 0 stars, so the book is a 4.
