Good Morning America - Spider-man on Broadway Interview with Julie Taymor, Bono and the Edge

Includes pictures of Green Goblin and Swiss Miss costumes, talk of pop-up sets, flying and dancing over the audience, and don't forget tickets go on sale 



And here's a crappy video of  Spidey's performance of the first song. 



The riff has been on the official website for months already and is actually kinda catchy. And I know that the audio quality is bad here as the youtube uploader is recording his television, but I do think there's a little bit of a problem with singing over electric guitars instead of standard Broadway music when it comes to understanding the lyrics.

But will there be an action figure?

But if this is Swiss Miss, what will Electro wear?

Poor Gobby, everytime Spider-man breaks into a new medium, his costumes get worse.

I can't wait till these images and videos circulate a little more because we're looking at a few months of quality fanboy rage!

Spider-man on Broadway

"With great power comes great responsibility." - Ben Parker

Ok, so my great power is living in NYC.

So my great responsibility is going to see Spider-man on Broadway!

From the people who brought you Lion King on Broadway and um...the Joshua Tree.

Tickets went on sale last Friday and I immediately bought me some a few hours later. Opening night is December 21st, but no tickets were available, so I got some for December 22nd.  Just in case it fails as epically as some doomsayers are predicting I should still get to go.

"Broadway fans" seem to think that Spider-man is a bad idea and Spider-man fans seem to think that Broadway is a bad idea. (Although they were fine with comics, movies, video games, action figures, coloring books, bed sheets, napkins, and coming soon: pizza toppings.)

So, basically, nobody is excited about this except me, one of the interns at Marvel, a hot dog vendor in Times Square and  maybe this guy.

But all three of you reading this will get to hear all about it.
