Remember the Julie Taymor-directed “Spider-Man” musical that will hit Broadway sometime in 2010 (unless there’s more delays) and will star Evan Rachel Wood as Mary Jane?
Well, actor Alan Cumming has joined the cast as the Green Goblin, the role played in the Sam Raimi film by Willem Dafoe. U2’s Bono and The Edge are still doing the music. We’re hoping this is a glorious fiasco to remember for the ages.
This musical is now officially titled, “Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark.” Preview performances begin February 25, 2010 and the opening date will be announced after. Most likely March? Save those pennies now. Whoever will play Peter Parker/Spidey has not been announced yet. [RS/THR]
