In just four days, the long awaited, and much beleaguered, musical Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark arrives on Broadway. In case you missed the drama associated with the production, Bono and The Edge of U2 have teamed-up with Tony award winning director Julie Taymor to create what has become the most expensive music ever staged on Broadway- more than $60 million.
Bono told 60 Minutes, in a special that followed the show for a year and a half and airs opening night, that: “It has been one of the funest (sic), more joyful rides of our artistic life, for sure,” We’ve moved out of the rock ‘n’ roll idiom in places, into some very new territory for us, There’s big show tunes and dance songs.”
