Nobody Knows Who You Are...Yet

The Spiderman musical, which has been plagued by both script and money problems, had to delay its announced February opening and rumors are the production costs close to $50 million dollars.

Apparently there is some movement towards raising the curtain on this Julie Taymor helmed project (with a book by Glen Berger and music by Bono and the Edge) as I walked by the Hilton Theater the other day and the crew was loading in. Here's an image of the set being hung on the back wall of the theater. You can see similar grey images on Gotham just behind the flat to its right.


And apparently Local 1 doesn't have Spidey sense so their materials all needed to be well labeled.
