The big guys are coming to town! Let's hope their money time is well spent!

According to a production spokesman, Julie Taymor will be joined by Bono and The Edge at all of next week's preview performances for Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. As the director and composers, respectfully, its important for them to be there in order to see if the show needs anymore fine-tuning. The spokesman explains:

“Julie and Bono and Edge…will be in the theater next week and for all of the preview performances leading up to the opening night working on the show.”

The spokesman added that the opening date is still officially Feb. 7, 2011 and considering recent events involving cast members being severely injured, there are already changes being made to the production without Bono & The Edge having seen it.

No specifics were given on what kind of changes are being considered so far, but when the topic of last week's catastrophe was brought up, all the spokesman would say is that the team isn't letting the accident stop them from continuing with the show. He added:

"If anything, this has created a [sense of] solidarity.”

All for one and we hope there's enough medics for all!

We kid, we kid. It's horrible what happened, but they were accidents. We're sure every precaution is being considered to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
