Okay, so this is awesome. A new, off-Broadway Spider-Man musical is aiming to beat “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark” to its current release date (currently March 15).
Set to premiere at the People’s Improv Theater in New York—a day before the thoroughly critiqued Julie Taymor production—is a satirical song and dance entitled “The Spidey Project: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility”.
Created by improviser Justin Moran, the comedic piece purports to compose a “fully realized” Spider-Man musical in under 30 days—with no budget. Of course, that particular provision stands in great contrast to Taymor’s massively funded “Turn Off The Dark.”
Also standing in stark contrast to the still-evolving big budget Broadway musical may be the new musical’s plot, which Moran has said is “100-percent” based on the Web Slinger’s actual comic origin.
“It’s Peter Parker, in high school at Forest Hills when he gets...

Hollywoodnews.com: Justin Moran is sick and tired of waiting for Julie Taymor’s oft-delayed Broadway musical, “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.” So he’s planning on mounting a Spider-Man musical of his own.
“Our goal isn’t to tear down Julie Taymor or parody her production,” Moran tells the NY Times Tuesday morning. “Our goal is to do what she should have done in the first place, and that’s just make a really good musical.”
He wants to open his show, “The Spidey Project: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility,” on March 14 … or one day before Taymor’s massive production is set to premiere. “Spidey” will play at Peoples Improv Theater in Manhattan.
Moran reportedly started his ball rolling – or web spinning – on YouTube, where he challenged Taymor’s musical. He received an overwhelming response from performers and crew members who immediately wanted to...

After the critical bashing endured [1] by the yet-to-open $65 million musical Spider-Man: Turn of the Dark, the changes began happening quickly. According to the New York Times Broadway vet Paul Bogaev has just been hired to "help improve the performance, vocal and orchestration arrangements," Bono and the Edge are currently writing new music and producers are talking to, but have not yet hired [2], veteran Spider-Man writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa to re-work some of the book (Broadway speak for "script"). However, contrary to reports, the production has not hired a new director. And don't forget all of this is going down just three weeks before the show's fifth scheduled opening [3] on March 15. Also, in almost the biggest slap in the face yet, humorist and playwright Justin Moran has launched the Spider-Man Smackdown, an initiative to write, choreograph, compose and perform a Spider-Man musical for nothing and open it a day before Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark.
