Singer/actress America Olivo has joined the cast of
Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark. Olivo updated her facebook page this morning with the message,
"In training for Spiderman."
While her role is unconfirmed, it appears that Felicia Hardy (aka the Black Cat) is unlikely to make an appearance in the stage version. When asked by another poster who she would be playing, Olivo addressed the suggestion that she would make an excellent Black Cat with the response,
"Black Cat? Ohh, I like... Humph... I don't know the Black Cat character. Who is she?"
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark will premiere on November 14th of this year. It is directed by Julie Taymor and featuring music and lyrics by U2's Bono and The Edge, the stage version stars Reeve Carney, Jennifer Damiano and Patrick Page.
