We have heard numerous horror stories about this production, delays, shut downs, financial problems. But now everything seems to be back on track..whether thats a good or bad thing I'll leave up to you guys to debate!
According to the LA Times Hero Complex..
The production, directed by Julie Taymor and featuring music by Bono and the Edge, will begin preview performances at the newly renamed Foxwoods Theatre (formerly the Hilton Theatre) on Nov. 14 and will open on Dec. 21.
"Spider-Man" was originally supposed to open in February, but the escalating cost of the musical -- which is said to be the most expensive ever on Broadway -- caused the production to be pushed back.
Tickets for "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark" are set to go on sale to the general public in September, but no specific date was given.
Tony nominee Jennifer Damiano will play the role of Mary Jane Watson, taking over from Evan Rachel Wood, and Patrick Page will take over from Alan Cumming as Green Goblin. Reeve Carney is still on board to play Peter Parker.
The cast is scheduled to begin full rehearsals on Aug. 16.
