How’s this for an interesting concept, Spiderman The Musical. Apparently Irish rockers U2 have been working with director Julie Taymor, who won a Tony award for her work on The Lion King, and scriptwriter Glenn Berger.
Speaking for the first time about the project, The Edge said a number of the songs had already been written and the musical was “in a pretty good state”.
He told Q magazine: “I think the musical had its heyday back in the ’40s, ’50s, ’60s era…. we’ve always harboured this sneaky ambition that maybe one day we might try our hand in that area.
“We’ve written a lot of the songs at this point. It’s in a pretty good state, and I hope it’ll open this year. We’re not sure where in the world, but most likely it will be in New York.”
The Edge added that as well as writing the music and lyrics he and Bono had also contributed to the plot and dialogue.
