The official opening for the Broadway production Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark has taken another hit as the opening has been pushed from January 11 to sometime in February (an official date is expected in the next couple of days).
With music by U2's Bono and the Edge, the $65 million musical has been plagued with financing problems, injuries to cast, hung up special effects and story problems, leading to the ongoing run of preview shows which started in late November. The early previews included lengthy intermissions when flying equipment became snarled and, although no reviews are supposed to be written until the official opening, a flurry of bad reports about the structure of the show's story.
Word is that director Julie Taymor (The Lion King) has been working extensively with playwright Glen Berger to revise the script, including changes to the end of the show and to dialog throughout. While Bono and the Edge have not seen the show due to their ongoing 360 Degree Tour, they have been working feverishly on changes to the music and are expected in New York in late December. No new songs have been written for the production, but the possibility has not been ruled out once they can meet in person with Taymor.
