U2 Spiderman Musical to open in Broadway in 2010
U2’s Spiderman musical is to hit Broadway early next year, with music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge. Julie Taymor is to direct, and the previews will begin in January 2010 (reports Newsday).
The idea of a U2 Spiderman musical sounds very odd, and I’ve no doubt that it will be; I’m sure a lot of people will go and see this one out of curiosity alone though, and who knows whether or not they’ll be entertained by what they see.
The Spiderman musical has the potential to be horrible, there’s also a chance that it might be quite good though; there’s certainly a lot of Spiderman material to draw upon, and the musical may well leave us pleasantly surprised.
Time shall only tell as to how the Spiderman musical turns out, and all will be revealed when it hits Broadway next year.
