Glenn Beck Flips Out For Spider-Man Musical: 'Best Show I've Ever Seen' (VIDEO)

Glenn Beck took nearly 30 minutes of his Wednesday radio show to heap immense amounts of praise on the new Spider-Man musical on Broadway. The show has been riddled with cast injuries and horrible buzz, but Beck gave it the kind of raves any producer would kill to have on their poster.

He said it was "by far the best show I've ever seen," and praised nearly every aspect of it:

The music? "Brilliant...hit after hit after hit."

The performances? "Unbelievable."

The man playing Spider-Man? "He has the vocal quality of Michael Bublé."

But if the show is that good, why is it getting such terrible press? Beck had the answer: it's all down to the plot, which, in his description, sounded like a Tea Partier's dream.

As Beck told it, the villain of the show is an "atheist, God-like scientist" who collaborates with a Big Brother government to use global warming to advance his evil schemes. New Yorkers, Beck said, were turning their snobby, liberal noses up at such a storyline, but he absolutely loved it, and he predicted that the show would be a huge smash.

He must have invested in the production.

I really hope it doesn't suc/k-- I've got an entire Manhatten weekend planned around the thing in late February.

Hook him up if he wants to be in the show so much....

At least $65,000,000 and climbing, this production needs to be more than a hit to even come out even...Does Beck smell another Goldline shill sponsor with Bono and company?

Save your money people.

Did he get free tickets? Or are they paying him to say this crap?

Both, more than likely.....

Masked man in skin-tight underwear.
Of COURSE Glenny's thrilled.
Must give a shiver up his leg and down his spine.
Or would, if he HAD a spine...

The "Shiver up his leg" is reserved for Matthews' love affair with Obama.

[LiberalLee]

Which merely highlights the fact that Matthews has far better taste than Glenbo.
But if you insist, we'll call it a shiver down his spinal-substitute, not up.

I heard he is going to be in a revival of Gypsy and play Momma Rose.

[WarrenPease]

Does Momma Rose have a crying scene?

Yep, after reading the postings of a totally non political story, the left took the POTUS message of civility to heart. The left's definition of civility is shut up follow the mantra. Such hypocrites.

How is this a nonpolitical story when Beck states:

yea bub no politics here...

I sincerely hope his turn at civility lasts -- but the entire "review" of this show was a slam against "liberals" -- and the left's turn at civility as well. Let's make a deal to call everyone out for incivility -- especially for allusions to violence.
