Director Julie Taymor will bring Marvel Comics' friendly neighborhood Spider-Man to the Broadway stage in 2010. Set to open on February 18, 2010, "Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark," will feature a score by pop superstars Bono and The Edge, both of U2 fame.
Taymor, who is probably most famous as the driving creative force behind the two-decade-spanning Broadway musical, "The Lion King," will also co-write the "Spider-Man" book with Glen Berger.
No casting has been announced, as of yet, but the musical will be produced by Hello Entertainment/David Garfinkle, Martin McCallum, Marvel Entertainment/David Maisel, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Jeremiah Harris.
