A Case of You (2013)
Less than a month ago, producers on “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark” confirmed to MTV News that production had suspended for the time being, but insisted that the show would go on for the planned February debut. But Bono and the Edge need not pack their instruments away just yet—Spidey’s making a comeback.
According to Variety, production on “Turn Off The Dark” could resume as early as this week or as late as next week.
No official comments have been made by the show’s producers, who suspended the musical due to “a cash-flow problem” in August, but Variety’s report cites rumors around the theater industry that “Spider-Man” will swing back into action shortly.
Still, “Turn off the Dark” hasn’t lit all the lights just yet. Variety notes that there are members of the show’s production who have not yet been called back to work following the initial postponement, indicating that not all of the cash has been secured to get “Spider-Man” into full swing again.
It’s unclear who these untapped production members are, but two of the most important players at the moment are Evan Rachel Wood and Alan Cumming, previously cast as Mary Jane Watson and Norman Osborn for the show. Hopefully both actors will return to the production soon if they haven’t already.
As for who saved “Spider-Man,” the obvious guess is the Walt Disney Company, who recently acquired Marvel Entertainment in a $4 billion deal. But the musically-minded entity is apparently not responsible for “Turn off the Dark’s” salvation, according to the report.
