So Bad It's Horrible/Theatre: Difference between revisions

Theater is a hard art form to pull off. If done well, it comes off as enjoyable and masterfully done. Then there's the examples which calling them High school worthy would be an [[Insult to Rocks|insult to high school productions]], especially seeing as some high school productions are fantastic.

 

* The first version of ''[[Spider Man Turn Off the Dark]]''. The second version of the show has fans, opened to lukewarm reception and fits on the [[So Bad It's Good|other end of the spectrum]]; however the first issue of the show suffered from severe bouts of [[Adaptation Decay]] and [[Critical Research Failure]], glacial pacing, technical issues galore, craptacular music and terrifyingly wooden acting. It also had the most cringe-worthy example of a [[Greek Chorus]] which consisted of a group of teenagers writing a comic book. Audiences roundly condemned it and it didn't fare much better with critics either. It never saw the light of day, and was limited to previews, the majority of which had massive technical issues (one incident involving Spider-Man's wire harness breaking and falling a considerable height). Taymor was fired and Bono & The Edge threatened to disown it unless it was retooled considerably. Which it was, and the result was much better received and more popular with audiences and critics. Critics still hated it, but it has fans and continues to attract more people today.
