A video posted today on the Facebook page of the new Broadway musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” offers a glimpse of what to date has been one of the season’s biggest secrets: what does the show look like?
The video includes shots of the show’s troubled aerial maneuvers, the superhero’s costume, chorus numbers and rehearsal footage of the 27-year-old actor Reeve Carney, who plays the title character. There are also interview excerpts with the musical’s composers, Bono and the Edge of the rock band U2, and the director Julie Taymor, who describes the show as taking audiences to a “mythic place.”
“We can’t really tell you what this is,” she says to an unseen audience. “But it has rock and roll, it has drama and it has circus.”
