Marvel making Spider-Man Musical?

Behold....
The first sign of the entertainment apocolypse...

This is definately strange news, this seems to be a new trend. We had an Edward Scissorhands muscial and a Legally Blonde musical here in SF.

haha ... good one madmanic ... your so witty! i am not excited by this news and probably wont even buy cheap ticktes from the weird guys on the corner to this one

What? Why? Who's responsible? Why do they hate America?

I blame J Jonah Jameson. Just another of his attempts to turn the people away from your friendly neighborhood Spiderman!

Please, God, no.

If you guys think this is weird, check out the rest of the story: http://www.playbill.com/news/article/107378.html

I love U2. I love Spider-man. I think Julie Taymor has an interesting vision. Those three things alone combined make my head spin in a very weird way. Lots of cool ingredients but I'm not sure if they'll mix well for a final product.

Then you have Archane, this new character who: "is described as "a beautiful, boastful young woman turned into a spider for her hubris and lack of respect for the gods. She subsequently appears to Peter Parker and the audience as in turn a powerful spider-woman who comes from another time to inspire Peter; an otherworldly lover; a bride; a terrifying (and sexy) dark goddess of vengeance; a dance partner in a charged and violent spiders dance of death; and, finally, a lonely, fragile young woman." Casting is seeking a "strong Celtic, Balkan style, e.g., Sinead O'Connor," noting, "outside the box ideas are welcomed. Could be someone from the music industry.""

Featuring the soon to be hit songs:

"web shots of love"

"I have 8 arms but one heart" (by Doc Ock

"Goblins are a Girl's Best Friend" Duet with harry and Mary Jane

And the show stopper:

"I am just a boy behind a mask"
