A singing and dancing spider

Yep, it’s Spidey with a twist. When I first heard of this rave, I was laughing my head off. Can you imagine a superhero crooning and boogieing down to the rescue or typically, to save a damsel, Mary Jane, in distress? No. Well, Julie Taymor, notably the person behind the musical sensation The Lion King, thinks it’s a wicked idea. And Bono, who is doing the score for the musical, seconds the motion.

The pleasing title is Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark and tickets are on sale from 12th September. The preview kicks off on 15th February 2010 in Broadway, NYC. I think it’s very daring. It’ll be contagious and a thrill to watch. It has the potential to enter the realm of classics.
