So the Spiderman musical is finally opening in December with a score written by U2’s Bono and the Edge and directed by Julie Taymor (The Lion King). I’ve been following the development of this musical since its announcement three years ago. I was a bit miffed when I read that the show was almost cancelled earlier this year due to budget problems. And then (at the time) the only two confirmed actors, Evan Rachel Wood and Alan Cummings left the show.
After seeing this morning’s performance of “The Boy Falls From the Sky” on Good Morning America, I am quite confident in the show now, more than I ever was before. Not only in the show itself, but the musical score and the actor chosen to play Peter Parker/Spiderman, Reeve Carney. Never heard of him before in life, until this show came about. He is the lead singer in a band named “Carney” and stars in Julie Taymor’s upcoming flick “The Tempest”, which I’m guessing is a musical version of Shakespeare’s play. Anyway, I’ll post a vid of the performance from GMA. Spiderman comes to Broadway November 14th for previews and officially opens December 21st…
