Spider-Man: The Musical? I think I need to change my pants

spider-man, spider-man, doin? the best that a spider canBroadway has always been known for its eccentricity, but The Big Spoon thinks things are getting out of hand. First came Legally Blonde: The Musical, which a friend of mine saw and described as “just too freakin’ loud.” Then came Joey Lawrence in Chicago. And now … oh man I can barely even type this … they’re making “Spider-Man” into a musical. Yeah. SPIDER-MAN.

The “music” for the “show” will be co-written by Bono and Edge of U2, and will be directed by Julie Taymor, the director of The Lion King on Broadway. Not very much is known about the characters, except that the villains Green Goblin and Archane will probably be in it.

The projected cost of the musical? $15 million. The projected bodily response to the musical? Vomit.
