It looks as though things may be looking up for the injury-proned musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark this summer at New York’s Foxwoods Theatre.

There are high hopes that this long-previewing musical will be celebrating its opening night on Tuesday, June 14 after more than 100 preview performances. (FYI: most Broadway musicals today typically only have between 25 and 40 preview performances.)

Following a short hiatus, the musical is now under new direction. Phillip William McKinley stepped in the directors chair following the departure of Julie Taymor, the show’s original director. Spider-Man has always featured music by Bono and The Edge, but is now enhanced with a revised book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Glen Berger.

In addition to finally officially opening in June after five failed anticipated opening dates, Interscope Records will also be releasing a cast recording of the musical. The original cast recording will be released on the same date as the musical’s opening night, and will feature 14 tracks produced by Grammy Award winner Steve Lillywhite.

With a $65 million budget, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is the most expensive Broadway production in history. When the show finally opens on Tuesday, June 14, it will truly be something spectacular and entertaining to all audiences.

After years of delays, previews for Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark have finally began. This highly anticipated musical is a big budget production that could be Broadway’s next big thing.

The musical version of Marvel Comics superhero, Spider-Man, is directed by Julie Taymor, and the show will feature music from U2′s Bono and The Edge.

Although previews for the show have received poor reviews due to their technical glitches, there is still hope for this new spectacle. The use of props and cables are necessary due to the flying stunts performed in the musical, however these were the cause of the numerous stops during the first show.

The show may have experienced some technical hardships on the first night of previews, but they have made improvements. During the second night of previews Spider-Man was able to work out many of the kinks, and the show only stopped once.

Since this much improvement was made in just one night, many are confident that the technical problems will be worked out by Opening night.

Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark is scheduled to celebrate opening night at the Foxwoods Theater on January 11, 2011.

Among the many problems delaying the opening of the Broadway musical, “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark” is yet another hindrance. This time the actress set to play Mary Jane has dropped out. In a statement made by the producers of “Spider-Man” they said that Evan Rachel Wood dropped out of the musical due to a scheduling conflict.

Just 15 months after the announcement was made that she would be starring as Mary Jane, Wood made her departure public. The statement made by the producer, Michael Cohl, made it clear that Evan Rachel Wood was not required to stay with the musical, and that a search for a new Mary Jane was in progress. He also announced that the opening of the show would be delayed until later this year.

The creators and producers of “Spider-Man” have began to worry that other cast and crew members would also be taking on other projects and would therefore drop out of the musical. Cast members include Reeve Carney, who is set to star as Peter Parker and his alter ego, Spider-Man, and Tony Award winner Alan Cumming.

No dates have been set for rehearsals, preview performances, or an opening night. But you can sign up to be alerted when tickets are on sale.
