Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark is a daring, ground-breaking spectacular. Combining elements of Broadway musicals, opera, theater, circus acrobatics and rock, Spider-Man brings one of the world’s greatest superheroes to life on stage in an exhilarating new production that has performers literally flying over the audience. The Broadway musical features an original score by U2's Bono and The Edge and some of the most technically advanced stunts ever performed on stage.

Drawing from over 40 years of Marvel comic books for inspiration, Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark spins a new take on the mythic tale of a young man propelled from a modest rowhouse in Queens to the sky-scraping spire of the Chrysler Building, the bustling offices of the Daily Bugle, through the dizzying canyons of Manhattan, to new vistas never before seen.

The musical follows the story of teenager Peter Parker, whose unremarkable life is turned upside-down—literally—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 astonishing powers—soon learns, however, that with great power comes great responsibility as villains test not only his physical strength but also his strength of character.
