Spider-Man Musical production stopped? | admin| Jim News

According to NY post, the production of Spider-man musical has been stopped due to lack of fund.

Taymor, the director of “The Lion King,” conceived of “Spider-Man” as an “installation show,” something big and bold and full of special effects. Something, in other words, like Cirque du Soleil.

That’s fine if you’re going to put the damn thing up in Las Vegas, where “installation shows” run several times a day and are funded in large part by hotels and casinos.

But at $45 million — and with a weekly running cost of almost $900,000 — “Spider-Man” at the 1,700-seat Hilton could never be profitable.

The show would have to run five years, selling every single seat in the house, to just break even.

“That,” says a source who crunched the numbers, “is insane.”

The musical was directed by Julie Taymor and Evan Rachel Wood was one of the leading actress. Jim is never confirmed for this musical although several sources have admitted that Wood and Taymor want him on this show.

Just thought I let you know cause we never been sure if he’s going to do it or not.
Anyway, new layout is on its way. This one has been online for way too long.
