A: Is for on again off again Art


Reeve Carney will play the superhero Spider-Man in the on again off again Broadway musical, Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark.
U2’s Bono and The Edge will be bringing the music and lyric to the mega-production, which will be directed by Julie Taymor.
Carney joins previously announced cast members Evan Rachel Wood as Mary Jane Watson, Peter Parker’s girlfriend and Alan Cumming as Norman Osborn (aka Green Goblin).” Carney is the lead singer of the rock band Carney. He also starred in 1999’s Snow Falling on Cedars portraying a young Ethan Hawke and plays Ferdinand in the upcoming Julie Taymor movie The Tempest. Julie Taymor stated, "Having recently finished shooting 'The Tempest' with Reeve as the young prince, I was thrilled to cast him in an entirely different role as Peter Parker in Spider-Man. Not only is Reeve a great rock and roll singer but his acting is equally fresh and authentic."

On a business note: Michael Cohl has joined the production as lead producer on the show. Jeremiah J. Harris is now second producer on the show. The full producing team for the project is Michael Cohl, Jeremiah J. Harris, Hello Entertainment/David Garfinkle, Marvel Entertainment/David Maisel, and Sony Pictures Entertainment. The show will open in 2010 at the Hilton Theatre in New York.

With all the gossip floating around this show I will believe it is a F.A.C.T. when it opens.
