SPIDER-MAN's Producers Search for London Home

According to the Daily Mail, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J. Harris have been scouting London venues for the musical but have yet to find any solid possibilites due to the physical size of the show.

"Short of building a theatre, there doesn't seem to be a solution," Spider-Man spokesman Rick Miramontez told the Mail.

Cohl and Harris have visited two as-of-now unavailable theaters, the Palladium and the Drury Lane. The Mail's Baz Bamigboye suggests (perhaps a bit tongue-in-cheek) a deal with the O2 Arena or convincing We Will Rock You to leave the Dominion.

SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark is one of Broadway’s most popular new shows and, in the past year, the production has been seen by more than 1 million audience members from around the world. It features music and lyrics by 22-time Grammy Award-winners Bono and The Edge, direction by Philip William McKinley (The Boy From Oz), and a book co-written by Julie Taymor, Glen Berger (Underneath The Lintel) and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Fantastic Four and Spider-Man comics, “Big Love”). Scenic Designer George Tsypin and Costume Designer Eiko Ishioka are winners of Outer Critics Circle Awards and were recently nominated for Tony Awards for their work on SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark.

The world’s most recognizable super hero leaps off the comic book pages and onto the Broadway stage in SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark. Peter Parker’s ordinary teenage life takes a turn for the extraordinary when he’s bitten by a genetically altered spider and suddenly finds himself endowed with incredible superpowers. Parker quickly learns that with great power comes great responsibility as he tries to juggle the demands of high school and home life, while battling The Green Goblin and his band of super villains as they try to take down New York City and destroy everything Peter holds dear – including the beautiful girl-next-door, Mary Jane Watson. This high-flying groundbreaking and history-making production brings this story – inspired by more than fifty years of Marvel comic books – thrillingly to life.
