I was only 5 or 6, so I'm surprised they let me watch it. Even then I thought "That's a really wimpy Superman!" LOL... You can actually buy bootleg DVDs of it, though I'm not sure why anyone would want to. I mean, it's not the Star Wars Holiday Special or anything. :-) In the early 90s, wasn't there talk of a Batman musical being developed? I think it had that guy who wrote all of Meat Loaf's songs, Jim Steinman, attached to it. I'm pretty grateful that never happened. I can't imagine this Spidey musical being any good either, but it'll be interesting tp see what happens. Some things just don't sound like great ideas. Like turning LOTR into a stage show.

Here's a link, www.ibdb.com/productions.php?id=33. It also was made into a TV movie in 1974, www.imbd.com/tt0339210. I did a report on it for a college music course. There were plans for a Captain America musical in the 1980s but it get past the planning stages.
