Drawing from over 40 years of Marvel comic books for inspiration, SPIDER-MAN spins a new take on the mythic tale of a young man propelled from a modest rowhouse in Queens to the sky-scraping spire of the Chrysler Building, the bustling offices of the Daily Bugle, through the dizzying canyons of Manhattan, to new vistas never before seen. The musical follows the story of teenager Peter Parker, whose unremarkable life is turned upside-down ­ literally ­ when he’s bitten by a genetically altered spider and wakes up the next morning clinging to his bedroom ceiling. This bullied science-geek ­suddenly endowed with astonishing powers ­soon learns, however, that with great power comes great responsibility as villains test not only his physical strength but also his strength of character. Spider-Man’s battles will hurtle the audience through an origin story both recognizable and unexpected ­yielding new characters as well as familiar faces ­until a final surprising confrontation casts a startling new light on this hero’s journey.

I will still place my bet,that Adam Lambert will be slated to play the man is the suit. He is the perfect Peter Parker and that is a F.A.C.T.
