Spider-Man: 'The Show Is Dead'

“The show is dead,” a source familiar with Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark’s finances tells the New York Post’s Michael Riedel. With barely $10 million on hand and weekly operating costs of $1.2 million, Riedel says, “It should be gone by September.” Riedel also says that Bono chose not to write any new songs for the show because "he knew it was a mess." And Riedel thinks this is the end of the show’s director, Julie Taymor, as well. “She’s finished,” he writes. “[N]o one will hire her to direct another Broadway musical.”
