What do U2 and Spider-Man have in common? A musical! It started as a comic, and then it was transformed into a cartoon, a series of movies, a few videogames, and now the famed story may be told on the stage. The Irish rock group’s Bono and The Edge are reportedly planning to pen the score for the new Broadway musical based on the Marvel Comics superhero. The project is to be helmed by Tony Award-winning director Julie Taymor, who previously helmed the stage adaptation of the hit movie, The Lion King.
I guess the tight hero costume has been mistaken for a leotard. I guess the gay community is very excited about this, they love those musicals ya know. Seeing my childhood hero’s image desecrated like this will scar me for years. It is bad enough with all the over-commercialism that movies bring, now they have gone too far. I am going to go dig a hole and bury myself alive right now.
