Schön langsam wirds unübersichtlich. Neben Julie Taymors Spiderman-Musical “Turn Off the Dark” mit drögen Tönen von U2 und “The Spidey Project” des Comedian Justin Moran soll am 13. März 2011 ein drittes Spiderman-Musical die Bühnen New Yorks entern, was gleichzeitig bedeutete, dass es das erste Spiderman-Musical wäre, denn dieser Premierentermin schlägt die bisher veranschlagten der beiden anderen Produktionen.

“Spidermann” wird im Tank in Manhatten insgesamt drei Mal zu sehen sein. Die New York Times über “Spidermann”:

«Spidermann,” which was presented earlier this year in Seattle, is the handiwork of Jose Bold, the stage name of the artist John Osebold, and is described in a press release as «a hastily-constructed abstract musical” that «threads together elements of the original comic book story, references to the buzz-heavy Broadway debacle, songs stripped down to their essential core, and dreamlike video sequences to create a new mythology in an art-house style.” The cast includes Mr. Osebold as the title character; Kirk Anderson as his alter ego, Peter Parkre; Erin Jorgensen and Sara Edwards, who both play the character Mary Jane Taymor; Mark Siano as Radioactive Steve Winwood; and Evan Mosher as Everyone Else.
