Director: Spider-man musical doesn’t have U2 sound
NEW YORK — Director Julie Taymor is giving high marks to U2’s Bono and the Edge for their work on the new Broadway production “Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark.”
The pair wrote the songs for the musical. They previewed a tune from the show on ABC’s “Good Morning America” via satellite on Friday, performed by the band Carney at the Hudson Theatre.
Taymor says the pair were integral in creating the characters in the musical. She also says the songs don’t all have a U2 stamp but draw from a variety of musical genres.
The show will open in December.
