Last Tuesday night I went out for some pre-holiday coffee with my good friend, BroadwayWorld Senior Editor Jessica Lewis (Actually we were so engrossed in conversation that we forgot to order coffee. Sorry, Starbucks.), and naturally the topic of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark came up. Jessica had seen the show already and I mentioned how comical it was becoming that, with what right now stands as an eight-week preview period, the reviewing press will be attending long after the Internet has helped establish a firm word-of-mouth opinion.

Review - The Pee-wee Herman Show: Somebody, Force Me To Care
by Ben Peltz
- Dec 6, 2010
Back in the days of Henry Miller, it was one of the great Broadway traditions for him and other men of the theatre to name playhouses for themselves.

The popular actor/producer was telling the public that even if he wasn't appearing in the house's current offering, the production arrived with his seal of approval. This wasn't just some play paying money to rent his space; Henry Miller believed this to be quality theatre.
