The tangled web of production

I hadn't heard about the spider-man musical, but it seems like a fantastically stupid idea. With music by U2, no less. It was off, then on again apparently. It's also going to cost 52 million dollars. Which means it's going to have to be a huge success. If it can be done, though, the woman behind the Lion King is probably the one to do it. But U2? They haven't done anything interesting since the 90's. Actually, that might be a qualification. Musicals aren't exactly none for the quality of the music anymore. Ultimately, it should be about storytelling, it's not hip-hopera after all. Still, I just don't see it.
