Spiderman Swings to Broadway!

"Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark" is the new musical coming to Broadway. The music and lyrics are by U2's Bono and the Edge and it's directed by Julie Taymor ("The Lion King")


The musical will start previews at the Hilton Theater on January 16, 2010. Rumor has it that this is the biggest budget Broadway show - about $40 million. Even though the producers have been hush-hush about the casting, Evan Rachel Wood is rumored to star as Mary Jane Watson. Wood was quoted to TV Guide that she was "definitely going to do it."

The Broadway version will involve an origin story as well as introducing new characters.

The storyline might be a hit or miss, depending on how they spin it. But big Broadway productions are always pleasing to watch.
