Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Does Whatever A Spider Can

It's official and it's most certainly happening. Our favorite neighborhood web-slinger will be singing his way into a Broadway musical.

And bring on the heavy-hitters! Tony award winner Julie Taymor is directed, with music supplied by Bono and the Edge.

So don't be expecting a comedy. In fact, I'm not sure what I would be expecting from this production. You think Peter Pan had an interesting time flying about the stage. Just because you throw big names behind it doesn't mean it wont flop (i.e. Wedding Singers: The Musical). This brought up a discussion with other theatre goers, and it turns that this is just the tip of a frightening trend of converting films in plays. A spec sheet actually went around for Top Gun.

Let's hope not.

But for our Friendly Spider-Man ... at least we know he can pull off the tights.
