Spider-Man musical

July 12 and 13.
That is when a reading of the Spider-Man musical will take place in New York according to PlayBill.com.
It’s title is, “Spider-Man,Turn Off the Dark.”
Julie Taymor will be directing the musical. Taymor, in 1998, for her direction of the Broadway musical The Lion King, was the first female director to earn the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical.
Bono and The Edge (members of U2) will be provide the music and lyrics for the presentation.
The actors for Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Mary Jane(rumor is, according to Rolling Stone is that Evan Rachel Wood wants the part) and Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, still have yet to be cast.
There are also rumors that this is going to be the most expensive Broadway musical to perform and put together to date.
“Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark,” is set to premier on Broadway in February of 2010.

When i first heard of this development (making Spider-Man into a Broadway musical), i was APPALLED.
Spider-Man is my favorite superhero and has been ever since i was a little girl. And as much as i LOVE musicals and stage performances, I was offended that they would try to turn such a masculine and cool character into some girly singing prancer.
But, the more i read up on the organization and what they plan to do, the more excited i become.
I think they can actually pull this off and make it one hell of a fantastic show.
My Spidey-Sense is tingling.
I only wish i could afford to fly to New York to see it opening night on Broadway myself.
