I can’t see how anybody could think this was a good idea.Official Press Release
Marvel Studios has confirmed that plans are underway to produce a Broadway musical based on Marvel’s ever popular Super Hero, Spider-Man. Produced by Hello Entertainment/David Garfinkle, Martin McCallum, Marvel Entertainment, and SONY Pictures Entertainment (billing in formation), the musical will be directed by Tony Award-winner Julie Taymor with U2’s Bono and The Edge creating new music and lyrics for the project. A reading is scheduled to take place this summer. No dates for a Broadway opening have been confirmed at this time.
The Spider-Man musical will mark the first time a Marvel character has been the subject of a show on Broadway. In addition to co-producing the show, Hello Entertainment is arranging all financing for the project.
The moving ballad “My Uncle Got Killed By A Mugger” and the rockin’ “I’ve Got All The Powers Of A Spider, But I’m A Man” will probably be the highlights. That, and watching someone dance around in blue and red pajamas in front of a chorus of background actors pantomiming spiders.
All I hear is the lone cheer of Sal Murguia.
(Pal, really, it’s over for your band. You want to put a track in a superhero movie, fine. But score a musical? Clearly they have too much money and free time, because if they still had any talent or dignity they’d have steered clear of this car wreck. Kinda puts those last couple of crap albums in context though. So, when’s the Superman / Green Day collaboration?)
