Turned off the Dark

Any show with high production values that is completely terrible and incoherent. A reference to the Broadway musical, Spiderman, Turn off the Dark. Similar to "Jumping the Shark"

Dude, did you see that new play about the nuns?

Yeah, they really turned off the dark for that one.

spiderman: turn off the dark

Epic fail of a musical directed by Julie Taymor. Bono and the Edge wrote the music, which was terrible. Filled with flying stunts and slingshots across the stage, one is not surprised to hear of all the injuries that went down for the stunt doubles. Its not that bad though, they broke several records including largest budget for a broadway show EVER (65$ million dollars) and the most preview performances before actually opening.

Let's go see spiderman: turn off the dark!

no way man! I don't want a flying guy in spandex to fall on me.
