This STILL sounds like a stupid idea!
YES! That’s so exciting! I saw Reeve and his band open up for the Veronicas and he was GREAT! I have tickets for this and I’m insanely more excited now.
I saw him open for the Veronicas this summer. He’s hott. And totally talented. I’m seeing this. Fifty times.
Definitely have to see this, will have to emotionally blackmail one of my girlfriends to see it with me though..
Oh my gosh Reeve is fantastic! This is great news.
A Broadway musical of Spiderman?? LAMO! I give it a week.
What is going on with Broadway?
Whatever happened to Broadway????
At least it was better than gyllenhall.
Aw – congrats to Reeve – went to high school with him a decade ago….
i heard about this yesterday through twitter, this musical has been long coming especially with the crazy budget attached, but Carney has a pretty good fanbase which i’m sure will be willing to fill seats…myself included!
i’m also stoked that zane and the other guys in the band will be in the pit. CONGRATS REEVE!!
