Broadway's 'Spider-Man' musical earns new record

Cohl and Harris have said that their data on the audiences for "Spider-Man" indicate that half of all attendees had never been to a Broadway show before and more than half were from outside New York. They say it has been seen by more than 600,000 people during the past year.

The show has consistently grossed more than the $1.2 million each week the producers have indicated they need to stay viable and that has helped persuade Harris and Cohl to keep the show in New York, forgoing for now schemes to tour or franchise it.

The new record hasn't changed those plans and their work hasn't ended.

"Cohl and I both got up this morning — we were emailing and texting each other first thing — about next week," Harris said.
