NEW YORK (AP) -- Broadway has found its Spider-Man -- rock singer
Reeve Carney.
Producer Michael Cohl says Carney will portray celebrated
web-slinger Peter Parker in "Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark."
The lavish musical is still scheduled to open sometime in 2010
at the Hilton Theatre. Dates will be announced. The show has had a
troubled history, with work on the musical stopped for last summer
because of financial difficulties.
"Spider-Man" reportedly has a budget of upward of $40 million,
and the Hilton has undergone extensive renovation to accommodate
the show. It will be directed by Julie Taymor and features a score
by Bono and The Edge of U2.
