Oh man. Talk about an ongoing disaster. So, we all know (I think) that “Spider-Man: The Musical” has been running into issues left and right as the production gets closer to its opening. Now it looks like Julie Taymor, the creator, director, writer, and mask designer of the show, has been asked to “step aside” by the producers. Both parties are trying to keep everything hush-hush, due to Taymor’s long-standing relationship with the show (9 years) and her cult-following. Taymor has directed several Broadway shows, including “The Lion King”, for which she received two Tony awards, and the Opera “Grendel”. She has also directed films, including “Frida” and “Titus”. Looks like any hope of adding another Tony to her collection for “Spider-Man: The Musical” has just gone out the window.
