Theater Is He Strong? Listen, Bub.
posted by August 7 at 17:00 PM
onNew York magazine has a collection of head shots of actors who are trying out for the lead role in the (atrocious-sounding) upcoming Spider-Man musical. Is the new singing, dancing superhero to be found here?
Those who don’t know about the upcoming Spider-Man musical, which will be directed by Julie Taymor with music by Bono and the Edge, can find more information here.

Is it an absolute requirement that head shots be misframed like that? To be all edgy and whatnot? Because seen all together like that it looks like ass.
Isn't "bub" a Wolverine quote? Thought so.
I don't get it. How can a Spiderman musical directed by Julie Taymor and with music by Bono and the Edge be a bad thing?
Because it has music by Bono and the Edge?
yeah, and R.E.M. can do Superman!
"I am, I am, I am Superman...and I know what's happening...
really, Bono and teh Edge? How many times can someone rewrite Joshua Tree material?
oh one more thing, I can see a review now: How to Build a Broadway Bomb!
I dunno if they're strong, but I would be happy to nail every one of them in the ass. Even the dumpy-looking one in the upper-right*.
*Provided I got to hit the others first.
Like we're going to see Spiderman's face *that* often in the musical.
Let's see which one of these emo kids looks the best in spandex!
Why can't these shows just be kept at Universal Studios? Why do we need Spiderman, Shrek, etc. the musicals??? Will we next be watching NASCAR racing the musical?! *runs screaming into the night*
Now I have this great mashup of the Spiderman song and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" in my head. Bono: "Wherever there's a hang-up, you'll find a Spider-man." (the chiming guitars diminish) "(sighs) Aye."
Uh, yeah Paul, that should be "bud", NOT "bub".
"Is he strong? Listen, bud
He's got radioactive blood"
See, ' cause "bud" rhymes with "blood"...
@9: Bitch, please. Musical theater is already the NASCAR of the stage.
why do stage actors always look like milksops?
