SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark, Broadway's record breaking new show, today announced that it is launching a brand new app for both Apple and Android devices.  The app, which is available for free, gives users earliest access to exclusive video content and special offers, music and photos from the show, and easy ticket purchase. Those with the app can integrate their social media accounts and engage with a 'fan wall' where users can post comments and photos in real time for all to see.  Additionally, people can compete to be among the top users of the app in order to unlock special rewards. 

In a joint statement, producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J. Harris said, "Embracing new technology is one of the things SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark has led the Broadway industry in from its inception. We are proud to continue that tradition with this app."

This bullied science-geek suddenly endowed with incredible powers soon learns, however, that with great power comes great responsibility as villains put both his physical strength and strength of character to the test.
