Spidey is swinging onto the Great white way in 2010. I've been following the development of this show with a baleful sort of curiosity. I'm not sure exactly what to think. One the one hand I think it's just a shameful milking of the Marvel machine. On the other, if done right I suppose it could be fun. Bono and the Edge are doing the music, so despite all else at least that shouldn't be disapointing. Which is a definte check in the plus coloumn, Then in a recent press release director Julie Taymor describes the show as "circus rock-n-roll drama,".....it's hard for me to wrap my brain around that description with anything less than an overwhelming sense of trepidation. Is it just me, or does that description conjure up images of cirque du soleil with a U-2 soundtrack? This show can only go one of two ways...Complete surprising sucess or complete embarrasing flop. Honestly I might actually enjoy it either way.
