 Spider-Man the musical? I was told by numerous people and websites that Julie Taymor, the director from The Lion King, is doing the show Spider-Man. Yes it sounds ridiculous... but I just wanted to know if it was true. If anyone had info... please spill.

No, it'd be scary. At least Batman sounded like it was going to be a good project. Songs by Jim Steinman and Danny Elfman, book by David Ives, directed by Tim Burton...instead, WB gave us the pile o' poo known as Lestat that barely does well as an adaptation of the books.

Zombie Post!
It seems that this one is moving along...
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Get ready for "Spider-Man: The Broadway Musical."
That may not be the official title, but Marvel Studios is putting the pieces together for a musical on the Great White Way starring the popular superhero.
Julie Taymor, who won Tonys for direction and costume design for the Broadway production of "The Lion King," will direct, with U2's Bono and The Edge creating new music and lyrics for the project.
Auditions are taking place, and a reading is scheduled for the summer. No dates for a Broadway opening have been set.
While the Spider-Man musical marks the first time a Marvel character has been the subject of a Broadway show, it's not the first time a superhero has hit the stage. Superman was in the spotlight of "It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman," which opened at the Alvin Theatre in 1966. Despite fairly positive reviews, it closed a few months later.
Spider-Man will next be seen on the big screen, when the third installment of the blockbuster franchise opens across North America on May 4.

Seriously though, that sucks, unless they do the whole score on a theme and variation of the Spiderman Theme

I agree the Batman musical would have been much better.
But, hey! Maybe now my little brother will come see a musical with me!!!

The things that people turn into musicals these days.
It's madness.

I think it's a bad idea. Then again, imagine how many 10 year old boys would be going to musicals...

I just don't think they can do the effects on stage. If anything was made for film and sfx, it's Spider-man.
