U2’s Spider-Man Musical Gets Opening Date

The long-in-the-works Spider-Man musical has an official opening date.

"Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," with music and lyrics by Bono and the Edge, will open on Broadway on Feb. 18 with review performances starting Jan. 16.

While no castings have taken place, the director Julia Taymor has been conducting table readings with the young stars of her movie "Across the Universe," Jim Sturgess and Evan Rachel Wood. Sturgess is not expected to join the musical as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, though Wood has publicly said the role of Spider-Man's Mary Jane Watson was hers.

No and no. I wish sometimes Bono would get a proper job that would occupy his mind sensibly.

The only singing spider I will tolerate is the Siberian Hunting Spider.
