Spider-man can sing like Bono?!

Yep. Apparently Spider-man will be appearing on Broadway early next year according to a press release on Yahoo!

And all the songs will be written by U2. I thought this was a rumor until now.

It will be called Spider-man Turn off the Dark...

Wow...

No word on casting yet, but those will be leaked I'm sure this summer as rehearsals begin this fall.

And it's also the biggest budget for a Broadway show yet...duh...it's being directed by the same woman who directed Lion King, and it will be in the biggest venue on Broadway that will allow for webswinging...the Hilton Theatre...

I love Spider-Man, but I honestly have no idea what to say about this.

Julie Taymor is the director of the this show. Directed the excellent films "Titus" and "Across the Universe" and Broadway version of "The Lion King." Without a doubt she is one of the most amazing artistic minds currently working and even though I am unsure of Spiderman as a musical, I very much trust her artistic judgement.

As for casting, I believe that Evan Rachel Wood is currently cast as Mary Jane and rumors are that her costar from "Across the Universe," Jim Sturgess, may be Peter Parker since he filled in for the role on some of the workshops for the show.

Didn't this already happen? I could have sworn I heard about this 1-2 years ago...

If Julie Taymor is directing, than at the very least it will be amazing visually. But honestly, I'm surprised that a show with such a large budget is being produced at a time when Broadway is really hurting.
