As we previously mentioned, the upcoming Spider-Man Broadway musical has run out of $$$$$$, and….
The entire cast – including Evan Rachel Whore – has just been released from their contracts and the crew has been put on “hiatus” until further notice because the $45 million dollar musical broke the bank!
Spider-Man, with Julie Taymor on board as director and music penned by Bono and The Edge, was destined to be a mess from the beginning.
Taymor devised an “installation show” for the musical, but sources say the director was in over her head with the amount of special effects she hoped to include in the show.
The show was said to have a running cost of $900,000 a week, which would have required the show to sell out at New York’s Hilton Theater every night for five years straight just for the producers to break even!
Ridiculous!!!
Spider-Man is still set to open for previews on February 10th, 2010.
Yeah right!
