THE LEGEND OF Julie Taymor, or The Musical That Killed Everybody! got its world premiere this August at FringeNYC, playing the Bleecker Theatre. The musical by Travis Ferguson (book & lyrics) and Dave Ogrin (music & lyrics) tells the story of the rise and fall of Director Julie Taymor and the behind-the-scenes scandals of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark which has since become a modern Broadway legend. Check out clips of songs from the show below!

This high-energy rock musical rips straight from the headlines and follows Julie's course through the most expensive Broadway musical of all time; facing financial problems, actor injuries, technical malfunctions, opening delays, scathing reviews, all while battling her arch-nemesis, an unrelenting theatre columnist, played by Christopher Davis Carlisle (Off-Broadway's With Glee). Barnhart has also appeared in Superior Donuts at the Arden Theatre in Philadelphia and has been a puppeteer on Sesame Street since 2001; the production will showcase her puppetry experience.

The production featured direction and choreography from Joe Barros (I Married Wyatt Earp at 59E59, Reefer Madness and Sideshow at the Gallery Players) and is produced by Myra Wong (Subway Train at FringeNYC, and the Website Associate for the American Theatre Wing). The creative team also includes Casting by Danielle M. Falls of Daryl Eisenberg Casting, Luke Jones (Production Designer), Rachel Guilfoyle (Costume Designer), Michael Megliola (Lighting Designer), David Fletcher (Music Director), Nick Brennan (Associate Director), Stephanie Gandolfo (Assistant Choreographer), Caitlin Lyons (Production Stage Manager), George Bernard (Assistant Stage Manager), Steven Weinberg (Graphic Artist), and Lexie Pregosin (Conceptual Consultant).
