"Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark," the Broadway musical based on a Marvel comic book series, will be directed by Tony Award-winner Julie Taymor and will feature new music by U2's Bono and the Edge.

Reeve Carney will play student Peter Parker, who becomes bitten by a radioactive spider and becomes the superhero Spider-Man.

Jennifer Damiano will play Mary Jane Watson, Peter's love interest, and Patrick Page will play Norman Osborn, who transforms into the supervillain Green Goblin.
