Spider Man has made his way onto Broadway and is starring in the musical,
"Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark Start." The comic book superhero turned
musical star will make his debut on February 19, 2010, and will feature music by
Bono and The Edge. It is being directed by Julie Taymor who has also directed
Broadway hit "The Lion King." She has won two Tony Awards for her work, and
was the first woman to win a Tony Award for directing "The Lion King." The
Broadway musical will be an origin story starting from Peter Parker's teenage
years and go on to tell the story of how he became Spider Man. There will be
familiar faces and new characters have been created specifically for the
musical. Comic books have proven to be movie hits and now strive to be a
Broadway spectacular. A lot of hype about the musical is due to the fact that
high profiled celebrities, Bono (Paul David Hewson) and The Edge (David Howell
Evans), are creating the music and lyrics for the Broadway show. Both men are
from the Irish rock band where Bono does vocals and guitar and The Edge does
vocals, keyboards, and guitar. U2 is a worldwide recognized band that will bring
a lot of attention for the Spider Man musical. The band has sold more than 145
million albums and has won at least 22 Grammy awards. Their fame and great
musical talent was recognized in 2005 when the band was inducted into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame. The accomplishments of the bands musical fleets should
foreshadow to comic book enthusiasts and Broadway fans that the music and lyrics
will be great during the show. Tickets for the show will start going on sale on
September 12, so you can be sure you have a seat. They are allowing people with
American Express credit cards to purchase tickets on June 24. There is not a
clear list of who will be cast in the show, but it has been determined that Evan
Rachel Wood will be playing the role of Spider Man's girlfriend, Mary Jane
Watson. Evan Rachel Wood starred in the movies Thirteen and Little Secrets which
was up for a Golden Globe Award. There is a rumor that Peter Parker will be
played by actor Jim Sturgess. The Broadway show will be great and has a
wonderful director, actors, and musical talents to support the fame of Spider
Man.
