This might make your head spin. Spider-Man the musical? Yup, coming soon to Broadway. Spidey super fans will be very excited … I’m weirded out a bit myself … but here’s a clip from The Hollywood Reporter:

Producing are Hello Entertainment/David Garfinkle, Martin McCallum, Marvel Entertainment and Sony Pictures Entertainment. In addition to co-producing the show, Hello Entertainment is arranging all financing for the project.

While the Spider-Man musical marks the first time a Marvel character has been the subject of a Broadway show, it’s not the first time a superhero has hit the stage. Superman was in the spotlight of “It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Superman,” which opened at the Alvin Theatre in 1966. Despite fairly positive reviews, it closed a few months later.
