Spider-Man, The Musical?

SuperHeroHype brought this oddity back to the forefront the other day when they posted the casting breakdown. Having finally read through it, I gotta say… It’s pretty freaking hilarious that they equated Ted Turner with the Green Goblin. Also, check the listing for the Arachne character for some delightfully bizarre plot points:

[ARACHNE] Female, 20-35 years old, any ethnicity. A beautiful, boastful young woman turned into a spider for her hubris and lack of respect for the gods. She subsequently appears to Peter Parker and the audience as in turn a powerful spider-woman who comes from another time to inspire Peter; an otherworldly lover; a bride; a terrifying (and sexy) dark goddess of vengeance; a dance partner in a charged and violent spiders dance of death; and, finally, a lonely, fragile young woman. Possesses an ethereal, unique, gorgeous singing voice. Strong Celtic, Balkan style, e.g., Sinead O’Connor. Outside the box ideas are welcomed. Could be someone from the music industry.

Know what else is crazy? Look who’s working on the music and the lyrics: “Bono and The Edge of U2”

And that’s actually how they’re credited. The “U2” part and all, like it’s part of their names. Mind-boggling.
