NEW YORK, N.Y.
Broadway’s “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” has already become the most expensive show ever mounted on Broadway. Soon it may reach another milestone: The show stuck in previews the longest.
Producers delayed the $65 million show for the fifth time Thursday, pushing the opening date to March 15 to fine-tune and put in a new ending. Lead producer Michael Cohl promised this is “the final postponement.”

It was a smooth landing for Spider-Man.
A day after Broadway’s costliest show was forced to cancel two performances following a scary fall by a stunt actor, “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” resumed previews Thursday and came off without a hitch, including virtually all its complex aerial stunts.
“It’s a safer show now,” said a clearly relieved lead actor Reeve Carney, who plays Peter Parker and his alter ego, Spider-Man, as he signed autographs following the show. “It was always safe, but now it’s safer. It was beautiful to see everyone come together tonight.”
