This week, Spider-Man finally makes its official stage debut, The Green Lantern brings macho men back to the box office, and Tatum O'Neal heads to OWN. Spider-Man's Injury-Free Opening Night Though The Book of Mormon had the Broadway spotlight at the 2011 Tonys on Sunday, the Great White Way's attention shifted to Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. After weathering a spate of injuries, production troubles, cast departures and an ousted director, Broadway's most expensive musical finally opened $70 million later to mediocre reviews at best. Nevertheless, there were some positives. Besides the star-studded premiere welcoming former President Bill Clinton, theater legend Andrew Lloyd Webber, Steve Martin and many more big names, it also ended without any injuries for the cast members or audience. Now, U2's Bono and The Edge—the play's songwriters—can breathe a sigh of relief.
