A Spider-Man musical is to open on Broadway on Jan. 16th, 2010.

Yep, a Spider-Man musical.

I know…

Anyway, subtitled Turn Off The Dark, the musical will feature songs by U2′s Bono and The Edge.

Sounding worse all the time then yeah?

Here’s the official word on it all -  “[It] spins a new take on the mythic tale of a young man propelled from a modest rowhouse in Queens to the skyscraping 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.”

I think I’ll sit this one out.
