'Spider-Man' musical attendance improves

Audience attendance for the troubled Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark musical in Broadway has improved, according to early figures.

The stage show re-opened on Thursday, after suffering several high-profile delays, including cast injuries and poor reviews.

However, since last week, the shows have performed at a 95% capacity.

The show's producer Michael Cohl had previously said: "This is almost a brand-new show". The revamped version is said to include more humour than its initial poorly-reviewed version.

The show's original director Julie Taymor left the production in March. Christopher Tierney has returned to the main cast after suffering an on-stage accident in December.

The latest version of the musical will have its full launch on June 14.
