Spider-Man musical redeemed by cheap special effec t

The much-troubled Broadway show, 'Spider-Man:Turn Off the Dark', has apparently been redeemed by a special effect that costs just a few dollars.

The big finale to the new version of the show has its nine stunt Spider-Men exploding little bombs of paper that shoot streamers into the audience.

The effect is said to result in a wonderful web of white paper.

The show finally opened in New York last night after months of problems.
