News > Spider-Man musical can't find a home. Shocking.

Written by John Lichman

While doing press for Across the Universe, director Julie Taymor revealed that she hasn't stopped her ambition to bring Spider-Man to the Great White Way.

From LA.com:

"We want to open in New York, and there aren't enough Broadway houses," says Taymor, adding that Bono and The Edge have finished the book and lyrics for the project. "It's really tricky because ours is a big musical that's really unusual. It will have some fabulous things in it because it's got a very strong book." She says, "I'm very proud of the songs that Bono and Edge wrote. It's a real rock-and-roll musical, so we're not worried about that aspect. We just have to find where we're going to do it – even if we have to do it in a tent, which we're looking into – and when. It'll at least be a year away."

This ranks right up there with Fight Club: The Musical on things likely to never happen. Then again, Xanadu, Evil Dead and The Last Starfighter all hit the stage–just not Broadway.
