'Spider-Man' Cast Recording Album Due in June





Bono and the Edge's 'Spider-Man' Cast Recording Due in JuneThe cast recording of Bono and the Edge's musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark will hit stores on June 14th. The disc will include 14 songs penned by the U2 duo for the recently revised show, which is set to open officially on Broadway on the same day. The cast album was produced by longtime U2 collaborator Steve Lillywhite, who was brought into the show earlier this year.
The songs will feature Reeve Carney in the role of Peter Parker, Jennifer Damiano as Mary Jane, T.V. Carpio as Arachne, and Patrick Page as the Green Goblin. They'll be backed by a 20-member orchestra.


The show recently restarted after a three-week hiatus following the firing of Julie Taymor as director and with rejiggered music and a smoothed-out script. It officially opens on June 14.
