Michael Colh, lead producer on SPIDER-MAN: Turn Off The Dark has revealed to the Wall Street Journal that the final version of the show's finale has yet to be incorporated into the show and has not yet been seen by anyone - himself included.  Cohl tells the Journal: "The actual ending that we have planned is still not in the show," he said. "Nobody's seen it - including us, by the way." When asked if the show's February 7 opening date was still set, Cohl vaguely replied: "It's life-I don't expect it to [change], but it's life."

SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark is now in previews at Broadway's Foxwoods Theatre (213 West 42nd Street). 

Featuring direction by Tony® Award-winner Julie Taymor (The Tempest, Across The Universe, The Lion King), music and lyrics by 22-time Grammy® Award-winners Bono and The Edge, a book co-written by Taymor and Glen Berger (Underneath The Lintel) and one of the most iconic title characters of all time, SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark is the most ambitious production ever undertaken on Broadway and finds fresh ways to tell a story inspired by over 40 years of Marvel comic books. The show follows the story of teenager Peter Parker, whose unremarkable life is turned upside-down 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 incredible powers soon learns, however, that with great power comes great responsibility as villains put both his physical strength and strength of character to the test. SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark aims to thrill audiences through a unique entertainment experience in ways never-before-dreamed-possible in live theater.
