Spider-Man takes on Broadway

February 25, 2009

After successfully storming the big screen three times (with a fourth in the works), the Amazing Spider-Man is swinging onto Broadway in Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark, and he’s bringing some big names with him. The music and lyrics for the show are being written by none other than U2’s Bono and The Edge. This isn’t new news, but the opening date and title were just announced this week. The curtain won’t rise for another year (Feb. 18, 2010), but group tickets are already available. You can read all the official details here, on the official Marvel web site. How do you feel about a comic-book inspired Broadway musical? If Spidey succeeds on stage, I wonder which comic hero will be next to claim the spotlight—maybe the brooding Batman?
